Divorce Answered

Breaking-up, separating and divorcing is a time of great stress, emotional overwhelm and overload - yet it doesn’t have to be like that. Separating and divorcing can be a time of empowerment and growth. It can be the most liberating experience of your life!

Divorce Answered was created by Rachael Scharrer following her ‘colourful’ protracted divorce. She realised that there was a lack of information readily available to people separating and felt that this basic information shouldn’t have to be available at 6-minute increments from the family lawyer.

Helping people be as informed as possible on their journey, Divorce Answered has free and affordable resources to help you feel confident in the choices and decisions you are making. When you are armed with the right information and the right resources, you can drive your divorce, be a better client for your lawyer and reach a resolution as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

If you are separating or know someone who is separating, visit Divorce Answered for helpful tips and resources. Remember to login to access your free e-books, Separation Checklist and Budget Tool.
