After 17 years of good weather outings, it was an unprecedented day to remem-
ber with lots of rain, dinner, more rain, raf?es, prizes, more rain and dancing in
the puddles! With the wonderful support and generosity of the lady golfers, the
volunteers, family and friends, this event, along with the Play For P.I.N.K. Winter
Fund Raiser, raised $38,500 for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Many new players and volunteers bundled up in ponchos and paid tribute to
those lost to breast cancer and celebrated our survivors, especially those 15 who
were in attendance for the event. There were no prizes for 1st and 2nd place in
golf, but Winning Team Names were: Bust-A-Move, The Rack Pack, Treasured
Chests and Who Let the Girls Out?! The best “out?ts” and decorated carts will
have to wait until next year.

Play For P.I.N.K. donates 100% of the funds raised directly to The Breast
Cancer Research Foundation; all monies are earmarked for research. Play For
P.I.N.K. (Prevention, Immediate Diagnosis, New Technology, Knowledge) char-
ity tournaments across the country are dedicated to raising funds to ?ght breast
cancer while creating and promoting awareness of the disease through activities
we all enjoy. This fund-raising event was no exception, surpassing the goals for
participation and sponsorships. It was not a beautiful day to play golf, but the
weather did not squelch the spirit and the celebration of life we experienced with
solid friendships, charitable giving and a lot of fun! Thank You to all who shared
a part of this day!

Finding a Smoother Path to Divorce

When a couple decides to end their marriage, they can face a daunting list of costs,
paperwork and formalities before their divorce is ?nalized. One thing most should be able
to agree on is that they’d like the divorce process to move along as smoothly as possible.
While everybody’s circumstances are different, ?nding common ground can be important to
making the divorce process less painful and potentially less costly as well.

A newer development in the legal process for divorce is known as collaborative law. It is
designed to help couples ?nd points of agreement, settle issues in a more cooperative way
and stay out of divorce court. The process can be effective for couples of all ages, but ?nd-
ing a less antagonistic way to settle a divorce may be especially bene?cial when children
are part of the mix.

A different approach
Divorce is often a process that is litigated between two parties, each represented by his
or her own attorney. With a collaborative process, each spouse has his or her own attorney
as well, but in this case, the attorneys are trying to ?nd ways to settle issues with less con-
tention. Legal professionals who pursue this approach are committed to ?nding solutions to
points of dispute and both parties make a priority of keeping the issue out of the courts.
An honest and forthright approach by both parties is crucial to this process. Open dis-
closure of information is fully expected. For example, both a husband and wife must be
candid about money they may have set aside in any account or documents that may have
been drawn up prior to or during the marriage that could have an impact on the ultimate
settlement.
Financial advisors who have been collaboratively trained can be involved in the process
to help provide guidance through tricky issues related to joint accounts, retirement savings
plans and tax implications of a divorce (although you’ll also want to work with a tax profes-
sional).
Going beyond ?nancial issues
Many people would agree that there is signi?cant emotional stress to the entire family
when a home is split apart. This is especially true if custody of children becomes part of the
settlement process.
Collaborative law puts signi?cant emphasis on the involvement of professionals who can
help families through the process. This can include mental health counselors and coaches,
parenting experts and child specialists. If the couple has children, the help of child special-
ists can be particularly important to help assure that the transition to a new relationship with
their parents is as smooth as possible. It also is a way to give children a voice in the process
and helps contribute to a more satisfactory resolution to the divorce.
Moving on with life
For most people going through a divorce is extremely emotional and complex. If the
divorce process can be handled with less hostility and a spirit of cooperation, it can result
in a faster resolution and one that is more suitable for both parties. This can be critical in
helping divorced spouses move on with the next phase of their lives. Often seeking out help
from professionals – certi?ed divorce ?nancial analysts, lawyers and CPAs – can make the
process go a little bit smoother.
