What’s Your Everest?
February 26th, 2010 | Author: Pamela
I was inspired to blog about this topic from — of all things — a Champion sportswear ad that posed the question and went on to say, “The summit awaits each of us — and the symbolism of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, can help us achieve our own goals and dreams.”
I see their “Everest” on the faces of people who are struggling through a divorce, who have been climbing a long ascent with few resources and no summit in sight. They are physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially exhausted and overwhelmed. Just like a person climbing Everest, every step is a monumental effort, and they are constantly battling fatigue, depression, limited resources, isolation, and defeat. Some people never make it to the “summit” of divorce — they never experience the relief of closure, resolution, and peaceful acceptance.
Are You Above Average?
February 14th, 2010 | Author: Pamela
Are you Above Average? You might think so, but you’re probably not when it comes to divorce.
Becoming Above Average is not nearly as hard as it sounds. When it comes to family law matters, you don’t have to have a low percent of body fat, high IQ, big bank account or a lot of letters behind your name to be Above Average. All you need is a little bit of knowledge and the will to use it.
In this blog series, I’ve introduced you to Tim and Kathy, a fictional couple who represent the Average Divorce. They spent more than half their net worth and two and a half years of their lives litigating their divorce. They depleted their savings, their available credit, and their health. Their kids went through a traumatic custody evaluation and the family business is facing bankruptcy. They are the poster couple for the Average Divorce. If you don’t believe me, just ask around!

Am I willing to turn over a significant percentage of my net worth in order to be divorced?
Since you’re back to read more, I’m guessing you answered NO to that question and you’re ready to Avoid Financial Bedlam. Here are a few ways to keep more of your cash when you’re getting divorced.
