The What-ifs of a divorce

12/11/2015

0 Comments

 
We have all heard that the only absolutes in life are death and taxes.  Life can be unpredictable.  Five years ago, you might not have imagined that you would be getting divorced now.  So, how can you be expected to know what life will bring you five years from now.  The truth is-- you can’t.  But when you are getting divorced you have to do your best at trying to predict your future.

At
Westfield Mediation, LLC, it is our job to include the what-ifs into your Memorandum of Understanding so you leave with a thorough and complete divorce agreement. Sure you plan to sell the house in a few years, but what if your plans change and you never sell.  How will you pay your ex-spouse his/her share of the equity in the home?  Yes, you agree to terms of alimony for the next 9 years, but what if the payee dies?  What if one of you gets a job transfer to Texas?  What if one of you gets remarried?

While it is impossible to foresee the future, your divorce agreement should include answers to as many what-ifs as you can imagine.  Often couples think that their post-divorce plans will just work out as anticipated.  But life can get in the way of best-laid plans, so it is smart to anticipate some of these what-if scenarios.  Some people are so distraught during the divorce process that s/he cannot imagine what his/her new life will be like after the divorce.  A divorce mediator helps you create a new beginning and future for yourself, anticipating the uncertainties in life.
