The Circle of Care


"Family lawyers want to provide a holistic service to their clients that help them not only get through a divorce and settlement but prepare them for their new circumstances.Some lawyers have referred to this as providing a "circle of care ".  Within the circle of care, there are professionals that can help with the transition to the next stage of life.It comprises their lawyer, who can deal with the legal ramifications of a divorce, but because of the trusted relationship is also able to refer them to psychologists and counsellors, to provide assistance for emotional issues. Their lawyer may then refer them to a new accountant, particularly if their former partner, because of the conflict of interest that might arise, is still using the previous one. Family lawyers recognise that there is need for broad planning advice that can then be drilled down to specific strategies early in the process, they may want to recommend that their clients meet with a financial adviser."
