I have focused on matrimonial and family law for nearly the entirety of my career and in that field, there is very little that I have not experienced. Divorce is most often traumatic and can lead even the most rational person to make impulsive, ill-advised and emotional decisions. In the absence of forethought, damaging and irreparable decisions can be made. Accordingly, based upon my various experiences in the area of divorce and family law, I have developed a seven-point plan to serve as a default organizational tool. I believe that by employing this type of resource, common mistakes can be avoided and immediate issues that arise when contemplating divorce can be addressed systematically. Thus, when a problem arises, a solution is readily at hand.
