Divorce is a really stressful time for those women who experience it. Overwhelmed with decisions on child custody, support, property division, and settlement agreements can leave you disoriented. In addition to all of this are feelings of defeat, anger, and grief as you find yourself battling the very person you vowed to love for the rest of your life.

It is important to be on top of everything and work out all the kinks before you divorce so that you don’t regret your decisions later. Take control and don’t let fate (or your ex) determine your future. To be quite frank, getting a divorce may be one of the toughest things you will ever go through. I know from experience what long and short term impacts divorce has on a woman’s life.

I was divorcing my “Prince Charming” in 1998, and I was overwhelmed by all the decisions that had to be made. I was frustrated by the lack of good advice and guidance I received during the divorce, especially when it came to the aspect of real estate. Not every family/divorce attorney is a real estate attorney.

Having read a few books about divorce that were available at the time, nothing really prepared me for what was involved in a divorce. Not knowing the potential pitfalls, I made my fair share of mistakes (some of which I still live with today).

Having learned my lessons the hard way; I made a promise to myself that no woman I know would have to navigate divorce alone ever again.

Not having a Law degree I wanted to help out in another way. My Real Estate license came in to mind for a way I can assist women in navigating the waters during a divorce. I cannot, and will not, give you any legal advice. You need to contact your attorney for that. I can give you information, especially when it comes to real estate and my personal experience with my own divorce. I can give you a heads-up.
