Divorce Sharks

Divorce is complicated at best. Any divorce is an emotional upheaval but when there are many assets and much money involved, complication is the least of a woman’s worries. There are often very personal and complex issues. This is a time when the need for relevant and sophisticated advice is of utmost importance.

When wealthy women face divorce, the dilemma is often magnified. There are so many sharks that arrive on the scene in an effort to take advantage of vulnerable women in every financial situation.  These predators are attracted more to women with more money to lose.

My first suggestion to you if you fall into this category is to avoid sharing your financial status with anyone prior to hiring them for any reason.  Think about it in the same way that you think of workers who you hire to do work on your home. Don’t you always get a quote prior to giving out your address? Sure you do because otherwise the prices will skyrocket when they see the grandeur of your home. When they see what you have, they think in terms of how much they can charge and get away with it.

Please do yourself a favor and be vigilant in protecting yourself and what you have. Don’t assume anything about anyone.
