Meet Mercedes Barker: We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Mercedes Barker. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Mercedes below.
Mercedes, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
The “industry standard” for divorce is each spouse gets their own attorney and they duke it out that way. This process results in 10’s of thousands of dollars, quite often a bitter end, a family that has now been fractured, and a less than optimum settlement agreement. What’s mssing in this process is a financial expert, one who is knowledgeable and who has the credentials in all aspects of the division of assets and liabilities, someone who can custom-design a settlement agreement to meet the goals and needs of each spouse and family not just for now, but for life post-divorce.
Your Divorce™ was founded on the premise that there’s a better way than the traditional approach to divorce. Most couples actually want a smoother transition. Despite the emotional turmoil, the anger, or resentments they may be carrying, they really do want what’s best for them and their family. And obviously, what’s best is less conflict, less cost, a family nucleus that remains intact, and a softer landing for all affected.
