Episode notes
Triage With 'What's Important Now'
- Slow down and ask "What's Important Now" to triage immediate needs after a separation.
- Secure cashflow, custody priorities, and immediate safety before long-term planning.
Don't Settle Before You Have The Facts
- Avoid settling informally before you know all assets and legal rights; slow down negotiations.
- Don't waive rights or agree to splits without full financial information and counsel.
Compare Apples To Apples
- Group assets into comparable buckets so parties don't compare apples to giraffes during settlement.
- Bundling compatible assets can yield settlements better than a court's blunt 50/50 split.
