In today's world with increasing divorce rates the need for affordable divorce services is greater than ever. Most of us know someone who has gone through a difficult divorce, but very few people know there is no rule that says a lawyer has to be hired to get divorced, in both Canada and the U.S.
Trained Divorce Financial Professional Rose Simard, recognizing the woes of the people undergoing the taxing process of divorce, founded CAIM, a sanctuary for those who wish to feel safe and have the power and means to reclaim their lives following an unsuccessful marriage.
Rose believes that how one resolves their divorce is as, if not more, critical than what they resolve. The experienced financial divorce professional understands that dealing with emotions one cannot see or understand is especially difficult, when it comes to dividing property. Divorce is a rollercoaster process, no matter what your situation is.
Adding to the rollercoaster of divorce experience is the gap in legal services, such as affordability, availability, and quality of legal providers, as well as a lack of awareness by the concerned parties themselves regarding the divorce process.
Emotional healing is a non-linear process, and an individual must have an avenue to deal with emotions as big as the moon. This perspective might be lost when it comes to lawyer-client relationships, which are surprisingly straightforward, but lead to believe they are complicated.
Often people seek legal advice from a lawyer, assuming that only a lawyer is required to resolve their issues. In most cases, however, they require assistance beyond legal matters.
“Lawyers should be the last call, not the first call. I’m not saying that people shouldn’t seek help from them, but if they do, they need to be the ones in control,” Rose emphasizes.
Even though hiring a lawyer is not a prerequisite when filing for divorce, too many people tend to heavily rely on divorce lawyers, foregoing their power and control over the situation. Resulting in consciously or unconsciously putting their lawyers on a pedestal.
Many people have the preconceived notion that owning numerous assets and multiple businesses further complicates the divorce process, hence the need for lawyers. However, this is not necessarily the case. Rose’s mission is to help individuals realize this and understand that with the right help, they can get a fair divorce without expensive legal battles.
As a divorce mediator, Rose understands that divorce is emotionally and financially draining, and there are far better alternatives for people navigating the divorce process, than they are aware of. Rose created a unique process that serves as a guide from the easy to the most difficult parts of divorce. She presents alternative solutions through CAIM's three primary programs, each tailored to the different needs of the clients.
The No Drama Divorce, one of CAIM's programs, for example, is an opportunity for people going through divorce to get their questions answered. For those who need additional guidance in making more informed decisions to thrive through and after divorce, The Art of Divorce program is the perfect fit. Lastly, Decoupling with Dignity Mediation offers couples who have difficulty communicating with one another the opportunity to learn how to divide their assets in a way that sets each spouse up for future success.
“In many areas of our lives we tap into different types of resources for specific help, divorce should be the same,” Rose adds. “ Even though many people believe that they can’t afford to hire other divorce professionals, other than their lawyer, in actuality they can't afford not to. Getting specialized help will not only save them time and money, it will be a much less stressful and smoother divorce.”
Wanting to help and reach as many people as possible, Rose has created a free social media group dedicated to helping people navigate divorce with grace and confidence.
