Change the Locks or Change the Process:
How Special Masters Help Divide the Stuff
Special Master and Retired Sheriff’s Deputy, Denise Baker
One of the most prevailing struggles of people facing divorce is the division of the STUFF. Ask 100 different people how they handled this task during their divorce, and you will probably get 100 different answers. Only a few wise or lucky souls will tell you that they had the help of a Special Master.
Like Divorce Coaches, most people don’t know Special Masters exist unless or until a judge orders one in your case, and if that is you, you may need help understanding the value a Special Master brings to the situation. On October 13th, the Starting Over Stronger Divorce Survival & Recovery Podcast will release an interview with Special Master and Retired Sheriff’s Deputy, Denise Baker where we will discuss:
· What is a Special Master?
· What professional background do most Special Masters have?
· Who needs a Special Master?
· What are the Advantages and Disadvantages?
The most important thing we discussed was how the process of utilizing a Special Master can help ease tension and speed up the divorce process. In fact, I spoke with a recent client of Denise’s who had this to say: “Having a Special Master really helped us. Instead of conflicts dragging on, we got decisions made promptly. Even though I haven’t agreed with every decision, it’s much better than the alternative of the ongoing disagreements over inconsequential items.”
If that sounds good to you, tune in to the full episode on or after October 13th, 2021.
