Divorce court is the last place any couple on their wedding day expects to end up.

Canada’s national reality, regardless of cultural upbringing or religious affiliation, is that many marriages today end in divorce. The older you are, and the longer you have been married, the likelier you are to stay together. However, it is not uncommon to see 35 year marriages fall apart once the kids move out and the common goals fade away.

It’s scary, but its reality.

An amicable divorce is about strategizing the financial roads ahead. Rarely do we hear stories of couples that remained friends when all was said and done. Animosity, resentment and emotional damage is compounded by thousands of dollars in legal bills.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

For a fee, Investors Source Wealth Management works as a third party to create the financial strategy that will ensure that all parties are taken care of in a manner that suits everyone.

Clients often fight about the matrimonial home. Taking a step back and getting perspective on the costs of managing two homes, (consider two mortgages, two sets of utility bills, two sets of cable/satellite, two sets of grocery etc.) the costs can rapidly become overwhelming for any family on a budget before spouses elect to separate.

At Investors Source Wealth Management, we can put strategies in place that include reviewing estate planning needs so that the children from the first marriage are not excluded by the Will or removed as beneficiaries of the insurance policy.

We do not become involved in custody arrangements.

Speak to Investors Source Wealth Management today to ensure that your family’s wealth is not disintegrated by legal bills when former partners elect to go their separate ways.
