Learn the Skills to Help You Master the Most Difficult Negotiation of Your Life: Your Divorce.

You’re a fierce advocate for your child, a cause that’s important to you, or a member of your staff.

But when it comes to your own needs – just the thought of having to step up and negotiate for the things you want (and need) makes you break out in a cold sweat.

And now that you’re getting a divorce, that’s exactly what you’ll need to do!

Otherwise, not only will you risk winding up with a deal that’s good for your ex and not for you, but you’ll also have to live with the fact that you allowed that to happen!

You want an agreement that works for everyone involved: you, your children, and your ex.

But you don’t know what that looks like, or how to even get there...

FARE-WELL is Your Playbook for How to Negotiate a Fair & Equitable Divorce Agreement.

This online, self-paced program will teach you how to formulate your negotiation strategy before your divorce gets underway, enabling you to effectively communicate your wants and needs with confidence.

You'll also learn the elements that make up a comprehensive divorce agreement (in the areas of parenting, child support, alimony, and property division), the issues and challenges divorcing couples often face, and negotiation options that can be used to reach a mutually agreeable outcome.

This way, you can work more effectively with your spouse and/or chosen divorce professional, streamline your divorce negotiations, and reach a fair and equitable agreement - in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost.
