What Learners are Saying:

"The materials provided in this kit are extremely valuable tools. They helped me understand the magnitude of what I was going to need and think about financially in the process in an organized and straightforward way."

"I didn't handle the finances in my marriage, so it was eye-opening (and a bit shocking) to complete the exercises and see a clear picture of our expenses and spending. The information, lists and spreadsheets contained in the kit were so useful and really helped me start to make a plan for my life post-divorce."

FAQs

Does this kit include the forms I need to file my own divorce?

No. This is not a DIY divorce product, it is a kit to help prepare financially - before a divorce is underway.

What is the format for the kit?

There is one pre-recorded video, and the rest of the exercises are presented through a combination of written content and downloadable checklists, worksheets and guides.

How long do I have access to the content?

You will have access to the kit for one year from your date of purchase.

And if additional content is added to the kit during that time, you will have access to the new content also.

I don’t want my spouse to know I bought your kit. How will it show on my credit card?

On your credit card, your purchase will show as either "EMS, LLC" or "Equitable Mediation."
