Divorce doesn’t have to be destructive.
Dealing with the financial issues and complications in a separation and divorce can be emotional, stressful, and confusing. The financial resources of a family are stretched after a separation. The key to transitioning to a sensible and secure financial future is information, understanding, and support.
Terri McDougall has a passion for working with clients in transition. Her goal is to assist couples in getting through a difficult and emotional time, efficiently and productively, while bringing some sensibility and perspective to the process. Terri helps her clients navigate through the financial uncertainty of a separation, while assisting them with arriving at unique solutions for their individual needs in a fiscally responsible manner.
A more sensible divorce is possible – respectful, dignified, and family focused.
Do you have questions about where to start? Is dealing with finances overwhelming for you? Are you trying to keep costs down in an expensive process? Would a second opinion be helpful, or a review of settlement options proposed? Do you need reassurance and peace of mind that you are going to be okay? Terri can help.

I again would like to thank you for all your personal support and understanding as well as your expertise in laying out financial matters for this agreement. I felt you were a blessing in the midst of an unresolved process.
Everyone going through a divorce needs the expertise of a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist. Lawyers while focused on resolving the legal issues, often miss the important mathematics and both the immediate and long-term financial impacts of the various settlements. I found Terri McDougall out of desperation and frustration with my lawyer who quite frankly “did not do the math
