Let’s find your starting point A FEW COMMON QUESTIONS
You can ask
the basic questions.
Understanding starts with being able to ask.
Can I start before deciding whether to divorce?
Yes. Getting organized can be useful while you are considering separation, before filing, or once the process is underway. You do not need to have every answer before reaching out. Decisions about your relationship and legal next steps remain yours.
Who is this for?
Clients of all genders are welcome. This support is especially helpful if someone else handled the household money, you feel unsure where to begin, or you want a clearer, more organized financial picture.
What will we work on together?
Depending on your needs, we can organize financial records, help gather information for financial declarations and disclosures, build a personal budget and balance sheet, establish a money routine, and prepare questions for your attorney or other professionals.
Do I need to sell my home or work with Mina?
No. Housing and relocation support are optional. You choose your professionals and whether to keep, rent, sell, or explore a move. We can look at the monthly costs involved using information from the appropriate professionals.
How do meetings and fees work?
Begin with a free 30-minute introductory call. We discuss your priorities, the scope of work, the meeting format, and the fee before you decide to proceed. You can ask about a focused working meeting or ongoing support through CLEAR.
Does this replace my attorney or other professionals?
No. This service focuses on financial education and organization. Legal advice, representation, and filings remain with your attorney. Real estate representation and lending are separately handled by the appropriate professionals.
LET’S TALK
Your first step
can be a conversation.
