Divorce By Design: How building a divorce team can help you get divorced efficiently (without going broke!) in less than a year - Paperback

Divorce is one of the most emotionally and financially overwhelming transitions a person can face. Yet most people begin the process without a clear plan, a trusted team, or an understanding of the long-term financial consequences of their decisions. In Divorce by Design, Melissa Murphy Pavone draws on her experience as a Certified Financial Planner(R) and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst(R) to pull back the curtain on the divorce process and show you how to move from chaos and fear to clarity and confidence. She introduces a smarter, more intentional approach to divorce, one that replaces reactive decision-making and siloed professionals with a coordinated team and a financial strategy designed to protect what matters most. Through real-life client stories, practical financial guidance, and a refreshingly honest tone, Melissa walks readers through every stage of divorce: gathering financial documents, understanding marital assets, evaluating housing options, analyzing support scenarios, and planning sustainable post-divorce cash flow. The result is a framework that empowers readers to make informed decisions before costly mistakes are made, saving time, money, and emotional energy along the way. Divorce by Design is not about "winning" a divorce. It's about designing your divorce process intentionally, efficiently, and with your long-term financial well-being in mind.
