Common Financial Mistakes During a Chicago Divorce

Beth Kraszewski, President and Founder & Wealth Manager in Chicago focusing on Financial Planning for High Achieving Professionals, joined Anderson & Boback live Talk Tuesday and provided a drill down on the common financial mistakes that people make during a divorce, including:

Marital Home – When approaching divorce, often at least one of the spouses is determined to keep the home. What issues can result from this?
Retirement Plans – What considerations should people keep in mind when they are deciding how their assets will be split during a divorce?
Penalties on Retirement Accounts – Are there any other issues with receiving retirement accounts as part of the divorce settlement
Bigger Financial Picture – If we take a step back and look at the bigger financial picture, what advice do you have for people going through a divorce?

Here is the recording of the Live Facebook Talk on the Common Financial Mistakes During a Divorce

What our clients are saying

My lawyer was awesome!!! The situation was handle with such care. They were always readily available which was great to handle daily details and constant issues that arose. I will refer them to everyone I know for the rest of my life. That is how much I appreciated them!!! Thanks

Anderson and Boback have a professional, dedicated team who will fight for you and do everything in their power to help. They are kind, professional and kept be updated on my case. I VERY highly recommend their office. I worked with Genevieve Binnie on my latest case and she went above and beyond!

Child Relocation - Kimberly Anderson is a great representative of both the legal community as well as the Firm of Anderson & Boback. I appreciate her attention to detail, candor, and thorough representation of the issues that we would face, as well as a clear path for how to be successful in the fight for the rights of myself and my children. Although there were many areas of concern that had to be overcome, it was quite an asset to have an experienced, professional, and level-headed firm to represent me through this difficult process.

Excellent - I highly recommend Kimberly Anderson. She is knowledgeable, assertive, and experienced. What impressed me most about Kim is her dedication. I was able to reach her whenever there was a problem. She always responded immediately, proposed a solution, and put me at ease. The entire legal team at Anderson & Boback is superb.

Amazing – Mrs. Boback was great, the best decision that I have ever made. Her advice and expertise in my court case was unbelievable, she took care of all my needs and was understanding when helping me deal with a tough time. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great lawyer.

An Excellent, Skilled Lawyer Who Will Produce Results – I cannot overstate the experience and professionalism that Jessica brings to the table. Jessica and her staff remained easily reachable over different time schedules and could be counted on to return emails and phone calls promptly. If you need quality results and resolutions-this is the lawyer and firm to hire. Their ability to research case law and draft necessary motions is what puts them above other lawyers and firms If you want the best, call Jessica.

Military Friendly – Jessica was very helpful in taking care of my cases and understood the complications related to my military career. Even when I went out of state for my job she always kept me informed and up to date. Her knowledge of the court system was advantageous in settling my cases in a short amount of time.

Recommend Highly – Jan handled a complicated custody as well as financial settlement, in an efficient and effective manner. She worked well with me, along with the opposing counsel even under the most trying circumstances. Jan also clearly had the trust of the judge and was able to work through issues before and after the decree. As a fellow attorney, my standards were very high, and I was fortunate to work with Jan on a very difficult matter.

Impressive - Had to commend Ms. Anderson. Although I was represented by someone else in the beginning of my divorce, who I believed was experienced in complex divorce cases, as they advertised. They were not. I watched Ms. Anderson in a courtroom on another matter and called her afterward to see if she would take on my divorce case as I was unsatisfied with my attorney's representation. The Best call I ever made! I wish I had called her first, would have saved myself much aggravation, time and money.

Smart and Tenacious – Nichol quickly figures out what needs to be done and is great at assessing what the court needs, from a paperwork standpoint and a mental standpoint.

Excellent Representation by a Top Professional - I hired Kim to handle a post-divorce modification. Thanks to Kim's no-nonsense approach, caring attitude, experience and dedication to her clients. The process was as swift and efficient as possible. Kim and her staff were attentive and responsive, I highly recommend her and her staff.

She’s a Winner – Nichol was the calmest person in the courtroom; she was very natural and at ease. Nichol can think on her feet and communicate effectively while under pressure. Our opposing attorney was a bully and very dramatic, but Nichol never flinched. She is very compassionate, too, and I hope she never loses that.

Amazing Divorce Lawyer – Listened to my concerns. Advocated on my behalf and ultimately helped me win custody of my son. As a father it is nearly impossible to win custody. Straight forward, honest, and impeccable character. Would never want her to be opposing counsel. She’s intelligent and is very committed to her clients. I can’t say enough good things about Jessica.

Referred by friend, very glad she did – I had been through 2 previous attorneys in my case that was approaching 3 years. I left both who were dumbfounded and ill-equipped to provide effective legal strategy and forward thinking. Thank God a good friend referred me to Jan who gave me confidence, stuck to our strategy, executed a direct game plan and came out of a difficult situation with multiple victories. Definitely a must hire for you in your most difficult situations.
