Are these divorce settlement splits fair or unfair?

#1 The House Swap: It depends. The mortgage, taxes, upkeep, and selling costs all shift the value, so fair only if those are factored in.

#2 The Retirement Trade: Unfair. 401(k) money is taxed on withdrawal, while cash is spendable today. The timeline of withdrawal would have to be considered!

#3 The Business Buyout: Unclear. An online calculator can't capture debt, goodwill, or liquidity. A real valuation is needed by a professional.

The lesson: equal on paper isn't always equal in real life.

This is why, when choosing a mediator, you should look for someone who is a CFDA®. A CFDA® knows exactly what to look for to ensure your settlement is fair now and down the road.

Holiday plans get more complicated after a divorce. You're working out who has the kids each holiday, who's driving, and whether a trip out of state is okay. For some parents, there's also the question of when to bring a new partner around.

One thing we tell parents a lot: if your ex would want to know about something before hearing it from the kids, tell them first. You're not asking permission. It's just a courtesy, and it heads off a lot of hurt feelings.

When divorce is approached with the goal being resolution rather than winning, it is incredible how therapeutic the process can be. Divorce is never easy, but it can be made simple.

Therapy and mediation aren't the same tool. While therapy helps you process, mediation helps you decide. So, just because therapy did not provide the fix you were looking for, doesn't mean you and your ex can't work towards a mutually beneficial solution.

The Center for Divorce Resolution process has been successful over 1000 times because it was designed to help a variety of different parties navigate divorce. The only thing we need to make it work is a willingness to try.

After more than 800 mediations, here's something that might surprise you: the size of your marital estate doesn't tell me how complicated your divorce will be.

I've worked with couples dividing a $12 million estate. I've also worked with couples who were $180,000 in debt. Both situations are financially complex. They're just complex in different ways.

A $500,000 retirement account and $500,000 in cash are not the same thing once you factor in taxes, liquidity and timing. Understanding those differences, before you decide who gets what, is where good, productive mediation starts.

Whether your family is dividing significant wealth or working through debt, our goal is the same. Help you understand what you have and what you owe. Then help you make informed decisions about your future.
