Are you someone who always runs at the last minute to catch a
plane? Or do you prefer to arrive at the airport ten minutes early and relax?
This is a question that
‘marketing guru’ Seth Godin asks so as to illustrate the benefits of sensible
planning in business.
In my area --
international family law -- it raises these questions:
• Do you think it’s better
to wait until you’re served with divorce papers before running to a lawyer in a
panic?
• Or would be better to
plan in advance?
• If you and/or your
spouse are internationally connected, would it be best to wait until your
relationship has exploded to find out whether your case can and should be
brought in another jurisdiction?
• Or would it better to
know the international choices that you have at a time when you can still
influence the results?
The answers to the
questions are pretty obvious.
It’s better to get regular
dental check-ups than waiting for a toothache and then having nasty root canal
work.
And it’s better to ask an
international family lawyer to do some Strategic International Divorce Planning
than to wait for the last minute when it may be too late for you to change
course.
It’s the doing that’s
tougher than the agreeing. In our case we’ll do most of it for you. But you
have to get things started.
