Thinking About Separation? Start Here.

Separation can feel overwhelming, and most people don’t know what they should be doing before they begin the process.

What should you know before making major decisions? What information should you gather? Who should be on your team? And can better preparation help reduce conflict, legal fees and costly mistakes?

This week on Divorce Explained, Steve Benmor and Leanne Townsend are joined by Jennifer Donison and Julie Gill, Accredited Divorce Coaches and mediators, to talk about their new program, Separation Preparation.

Jennifer and Julie created Separation Preparation to help people understand what lies ahead and become better informed and prepared before and during the separation process.

They’ll be talking about why the decisions made at the beginning of a separation matter, what people often wish they had known sooner, and how the right preparation can lead to better decisions throughout the divorce process.

If you’re thinking about separation, already navigating one, or work with people going through divorce, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Wednesday, September 9 at 5:00 p.m. EST

The “Bank of Mom and Dad” has helped countless young couples get into the housing market.

But when that couple separates, a question that once seemed simple can become a major legal and financial fight:

Was the money a gift — or was it a loan?

On Wednesday, September 2 at 6:00 p.m., we’re joined on Divorce Explained by Marc Weisman, Chair, Tax Counsel at Keslassy Freedman Gelfand LLP, for a conversation about family loans, what parents and grandparents should consider before advancing money, and what can happen to those funds when a relationship ends.

We’ll also discuss the recent decision in Massaar v. Moneck and what it means for families helping their adult children financially.

If you’re a family law professional, a parent thinking about helping a child buy a home, or someone whose family has already contributed to a home purchase, you’ll want to hear this conversation.
