If I leave our matrimonial home, do I give up my
rights to a claim to the home?

• Any questions and concerns during your separation
  and divorce with respect to your rights or claims
  should be directed to a family lawyer. Only a
  family lawyer can inform their clients of their
  legal rights and of the laws of divorce.

Did You Know? (Part 1 of 2)

• Did you know that a Certified Divorce Financial
  Analyst (CDFA) is the only divorce professional
  specifically trained to explain all financial
  aspects of the pending decisions in separation
  and divorce? They help to empower their client(s)
  to make educated decisions throughout the
  process. Lawyers defend their clients' legal
  rights and try and negotiate the best deal
  possible for their client psychologists help
  clients deal with the emotional healing process
  financial planners help their clients with
  post-divorce financial planning. What's often
  missing in most divorce processes is financial
  expertise.

Did You Know? (Part 2 of 2)

• CDFA's help clients determine the short term and
  long term financial impact of any proposed
  divorce settlement. They also provide valuable
  information on financial issues that are related
  to the divorce, such as tax consequences,
  dividing pension plans, continued health care
  coverage, investment information and much more. A
  legal settlement that floats back and forth
  between lawyers, without the client having a
  clear understanding of all financial
  ramifications, can be detrimental, time consuming
  and expensive. In separation and divorce, make
  sure you have a clear understanding of the role
  each professional can play in the process.
