I’m going to discuss a topic that I haven’t brought up on the podcast before. And that is creating a marital history. Now, this is something that I’ve talked about on one-on-one coaching calls, but not something that I’ve brought up on the podcast and I think it’s a really important subject that everyone should listen to. And perhaps, everyone should create. One of the challenges when you are getting divorced and you hire someone like me or you go to your attorney, is trying to catch up on everything that has happened. And of course, a lot has happened, particularly, if you are contemplating separation or divorce and are going through that process. And so, one of the things that can help us and help you and help everyone, is what I’m going to call a marital history. Some people might call it a marital history questionnaire, a lot of attorneys I know don’t do this at all and they might just ask you questions.
But, this is one of the most powerful tools that I’m now a big fan of. That I think that everyone should do and should create and should work with. And do on their own. It’s something that you can do individually. It’s not necessarily going to be a fun subject, but it can be very important when it comes to settlement negotiations, if you have to go to trial, and just helping us understand the context of what’s going on. One of the things that I ask, if you book a coaching call with me, there’s always a questionnaire that covers some basic information on a marital history. But, for the sake of this episode, I’m gonna get into some really in depth issues that you might wanna create, or thinking about, or think about creating that will help everyone get on board. One of the biggest challenges when it comes to your attorney or comes to me or comes to an accountant or something like that, is that we don’t know you.
