You don’t have to blow up your life — or your kids’ — to end a Marriage.
Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services, joins Real Things Living to challenge the traditional divorce narrative by treating it as a forward-looking financial and emotional transition rather than a post-mortem of a failed contract.
Drawing from his own childhood experiences, Joe explains how staying “future-focused” through the windshield instead of the rearview mirror can preserve a Family’s dignity and long-term Health.
Key Takeaways
(1) The 75% Rule: Because child support, alimony, and property division are core components, approximately 75% of a divorce is financial in nature and requires data-driven decisions.
(2) Discovery Before Deciding: To avoid “unwittingly” creating significant long-term damage, couples must gather all necessary information before finalizing Parenting plans or asset divisions.
(3) Intentional Amicability: A peaceful, “no-fault” divorce is an achievable choice when parents prioritize the needs of their children over legal litigation and personal grievances.
