Your family and career have likely always been entwined with any change you make in one area inevitably impacting the other. Most people going through a divorce can expect to miss some work to attend court. They may have increased stress, making them short-tempered, or shared custody may require modifications in working schedules. Certain careers have impacts that go beyond the customary. Doctors, entrepreneurs, and tech professionals face unique challenges during and after divorce.
You are trained in school to be stoic, deliver excellent bedside manner, and face the unknown with curiosity and a desire to “fix it.” Facing divorce may have you feeling like you have failed or guilty if you have children about the long-term implications your divorce may have on them. Not to mention the choices you have to make regarding your career if you want to pull back and spend more time focused on your kids.
Financially, your divorce may derail or delay your long-term plans even if you were part of a dual-income family. It is important to know you can ask for help; it does not have to be up to you to fix everything. Our team of highly qualified family law attorneys can help you devise and negotiate a plan that will allow you and your family thrive.
Did you start your career at a startup? Inching your way forward, taking stock options instead of compensation? As you approach divorce, your financial portfolio can be a labyrinth to divide without legal expertise.
We have been around Seattle based techies long enough to know that upward mobility and opportunity can come from any corner of the globe at any time.
