  1. Preparing You for a Big Leap
    1. Letting You Know You Aren’t a Failure
    2. Helping Your Visualize Your Future

It’s that time of year again. Halloween. Scary movies. Ghosts. Goblins. Vampires.  Werewolves and more.

As scary as those creatures are, we have had clients tell us that divorce is even scarier. But it doesn’t have to be that way, don’t let the fear of divorce limit your happiness.  Working with a family law firm that has helped thousands of people with their divorces can help take away a lot of fear surrounding divorce. Here’s how:

Preparing You for a Big Leap

If you are consulting with a divorce law firm, you are taking a bold, big step to change your “normal.” That can, in and of itself, be scary.  But, if you have an experienced team letting you know what to expect, what your options are, and how the process works, then you can prepare for the Big Leap and the excitement on the other side! Without the fear of divorce, you can live the life you want to live versus giving into shame and guilt and not taking the steps that are best for you and your future.

Letting You Know You Aren’t a Failure

In the words of Robert Kiyosaki, “Successful people don’t fear failure but understand it’s necessary to learn and grow from.” If your marriage has failed, that doesn’t mean YOU are a failure. We help you see how you can learn and grow from your experiences and build a brighter future. This is the biggest fear most of our clients say they are dealing with…facing their failure. To that, we say, “We should fear regret more than failure.” Have you tried everything you can to save your marriage? If so, then you should have no regrets, and you can accept failure as part of the growth process. If you haven’t tried everything you can, our team will challenge you to do so.

Helping Your Visualize Your Future

Only you know what you really want, but so many people answer that question based on someone else’s goals or expectations, not based on their own feelings. Maybe you don’t know if you even want a divorce. Our team is not here to convince you that you need one, we’re here to help you explore your options by asking you the right questions to help you decide which path to take. We will ask you where you see yourself a year or two from now if you do nothing different and see if that’s where you want to be versus what does your future look like if you take Path A, B, or C. In other words, we help you build a personal roadmap and a strategy to get to your individual goals. There is no one-size-fits-all option. So don’t let the fear of divorce prevent you from taking action.

Considering a divorce can be scary and overwhelming, but with a solid team, it doesn’t have to be. Triangle Smart Divorce is not your typical law firm and we pride ourselves on being compassionate, empathetic, and shooting it straight.

Give us a call to set up a strategy session so you can learn about your options and the process. Knowing what to expect is the anecdote for many fears!

Maybe you have a friend or family member who is scared about the possibility of divorce and is paralyzed with fear. Please pass this article on to them. We love helping people through the process of figuring out a plan and implementing it, whatever it might look like.

There aren’t enough words to express what Ashley Fillippeli and her team have done for me… With calm focus, sharp legal skill, and an extraordinary amount of heart, Ashley helped me find my child… That moment would not have happened without Ashley, and my child would not have a father without her help.

Triangle Smart Divorce is the best family law firm in the area, and I am so grateful to have had them on my side. Lisa, Diane, Lauren, Jessica and the whole TSD team were very knowledgeable, thorough and professional. They did an excellent job getting great results for me and my kids during very challenging circumstances.

Lauren did an excellent job representing me throughout this entire process. From start to finish, I felt confident trusting her guidance and decisions, and I always knew I was in capable hands. She was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. I would highly recommend Lauren and this law firm to anyone going through a custody battle.
