Beyond steep legal fees, public battles can bare your personal and financial life, tarnish your reputation, and leave a stranger—a judge—dictating your future. Consider this:
❌ Privacy Vanishes – Court records are typically public; your wealth and private business is part of a public court record.
❌ Wealth Erodes – Long fights drain assets faster than you’d planned.
❌ Control Slips – A judge, not you, calls the shots on life-changing terms.
A Smarter Path: Mediation & Collaborative Divorce
✅ Private – Settlements stay off the public radar.
✅ Efficient – Skip the courtroom grind, save time and money.
✅ Your Terms – Shape the outcome with your spouse.
