Divorce in the Red Zone
Clear analogies exist between the Red Zone in football and red zones in divorce. As in football, successful navigation of the divorce process is often dependent upon the quality and extent of the knowledge upon which the divorce is based, the anticipation and thoroughness of the preparation, the ability to adapt to change, and the nature of the execution within these stages.
In cases involving divorce financial planners, red zones are also legal and financial coordination points between the attorney and the planner ' the latter bringing a broad financial perspective to the case that compliments the attorney's legal perspective. Having a second set of eyes actively engaged in the process can potentially also lead to insights that might otherwise be overlooked. To extend the football analogy further, in a well-functioning attorney/divorce financial planner team, the attorney typically assumes the role of head coach and the divorce financial planner “assistant financial coach” or “financial coordinator.”
