In this "My Favourite Tips" episode, we revisit an insightful conversation with divorce coach Jacqueline Wharton. Our focus? Why preparation is the linchpin when it comes to divorce.

Jacqueline underscores that divorce negotiations often extend beyond finances to securing crucial time with your children. Just imagine tackling a significant work negotiation without thorough preparation – it's a non-starter. Jacqueline insists that approaching divorce shouldn't be any different.

Many individuals find the divorce process daunting and shy away from it. However, Jacqueline emphasises that even though it's hard work, getting organised is crucial. This involves understanding the legal process, seeking advice from professionals, getting a grip on your financial details, and recognising your children's routines. She says mental preparation is equally important in this journey.
