The Smalley Law Firm announces the addition of Divorce Planning to its legal services

The Smalley Law Firm announced that it has added Divorce Planning Services to address the needs of families in resolving such matters expeditiously and collaboratively. The purpose of such services is to plan ahead, before a divorce is filed, to help clients form strategies to ensure the optimum results in their particular situation.

A divorce process is rarely easy. Stress levels are high, and in the process, couples often make decisions in the spur of the moment. In light of the many legal, financial and emotional aspects of divorce, that is not surprising. Thus, the Smalley Law Firm now offers Divorce Planning Services to form the best strategies concerning child custody, division of property and debt, support alimony and surviving after the divorce.

The services focus on advance planning upon determining a client's particular situation, discussed in complete confidence, and when necessary may expand to utilizing a CPA, a financial planner, stock broker, and in some instances, a counselor or therapist. A strategy will be formed to assist in preparation for the divorce action, and the client will have a complete understanding of how the system works procedurally so that he or she will know what to expect. This alone places the client ahead of most divorce litigants, as many clients are in the dark about what is happening or what comes next.

A financial professional can assist and advise as to how to best preserve financial assets. A therapist may assist the client in explaining the divorce to children and helping the children cope with the divorce, as well as assisting the client with coping mechanisms as well.

Principal attorney Richard E. Smalley, III explains that “Using my knowledge of family law and years of experience in the family law courts of central Oklahoma, I am able to counsel with individuals who are contemplating divorce and provide them with effective advance planning and exit strategies which are designed to assist them through the divorce process in the most efficient and effective manner possible, attempting to reach the most optimum results possible.”

Mr. Smalley adds that “Issues such as custody of children and asset protection will be discussed in strictest confidence, and other experts will be involved as the situation demands.”
