At this point in the divorce process, the wheels are in full motion. You’re working through your emotions and practicing self-care—which is critical to approach the divorce with a rational mind—and have gathered the key documents your lawyer will need to finalize the divorce in the eyes of the law.

In Chapter 4 we chat with Thomas M. Byrne, Jamie Mookerjea and Kate Wright about the different between a separation and divorce, the different types of divorce and more.

"Before starting the legal process, it’s important to set your expectations. [Jamie Mookerjea] says most of her clients walk out of court feeling partly happy and partly sad. As tough as that may be to read, that bittersweet feeling may be an indicator that the divorce settlement is fair to both you and your ex."

"When you work with a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), you gain a clear picture of your financial situation. Afterward, when it’s time to meet with your lawyer, you will feel more prepared. Knowledge is power and when you’re making major life decisions, you want essential information at your fingertips."

In Chapter 2 we connect with Daren Givoque from O'Farrell Wealth & Estate Planning to talk about his expertise in tax law, asset distribution and financial planning to develop fair divorce settlements with positive short- and long-term outcomes for their clients.

"[CDFA's] help you value your assets and debts (including the family home, if applicable), divide retirement savings and pensions, determine the amount of spousal support and create a budget for after the divorce. A CDFA cannot provide legal advice, but don’t worry—we’ll talk about working with a lawyer in Chapter 4."

When you give yourself the space to feel all the intense feelings, you pave the way to make rational decisions that will serve you in the future.

“I support my clients in keeping a clean house on the inside,” says Shulamit Ber Levtov, Registered Social Worker. “So, they can be their best selves as they move through these very stressful stages of divorce.”

Professional therapists and counselors like Natalie and Shulamit are neutral third parties who provide individual counseling to help people move through the transition.

When working with people dealing with divorce, Natalie says her first task is to get a good understanding of where they’re coming from and what’s going on for them. Everyone is different and everyone has different triggers.

The divorce process can be extremely overwhelming as it affects most areas of your life. Family dynamics, personal finances, relationships, daily routine and even your health can be affected by divorce. Certified Divorce Coach Jake Purdy finds that having a clear intention through the process can help in setting and attaining goals.

How do you get through the process, and make sure every single checkbox is checked off on your list? 🥴

Daren aimed to answer this question when he wrote the book Done with This!: Your Practical Guide to Separation and Divorce in Canada

"If you are someone who is going through separation and divorce my hope is that you find this book to be a much-needed support and resource as you go through the process. If you don’t ‘see yourself' or your particular situation in this book, I hope that you will make at least use of the resources I have included. My goal from the beginning has always been to help make divorce just a little less difficult and hopefully this book will lay out the process in a way that is easy to digest and useful during a very stressful and emotional time."

Tina interviews Daren in our most recent episode of CleanBreak the Podcast on what the writing process for this book was like, and why it is sure to be a useful resource for many people!

"Sometimes you need help, and sometimes you give help." 🤝

Episode #114 with Janice McFarlane is one full of empathy, compassion, and a whole lot of education (our favourite combo!).

Janice is the regional sales manager for Canada Life Insurance. We often think of the topic of insurance as something to deal with "later", or even as something that is too overwhelming to think about at the moment. Janice takes the time to break down this truly important topic in a compassionate and factual way.

One of the biggest influences in Janice’s life is her family, and it only makes sense that she would be passionate about a career that helps support others!

⛷️Stop the cycle of debt by using the Debt Avalanche technique.

The Debt Avalanche method involves making minimum payments on all your outstanding accounts, then using any of the remaining money earmarked for your debts to pay off the bill with the highest interest rate

☃️The Debt Snowball technique can work but may lead to you paying a bit more over time.

Have you heard of, or used, any of these techniques? Did they work for you? We would love to know!
