“Your Strategy Needs a Strategy”

Mediation can help divorced couples make business decisions
Divorce is a problem to be solved, not a battle to be won, according to Sue Hansen, a family lawyer, child advocate, mediator and collaborative practitioner at Milwaukee-based Hansen & Hildebrand S.C.
Too often, divorce is portrayed as a violent and messy tug-of-war that ruptures families through a destructive court process, Hansen said.
Barring extreme cases, the majority of divorces involve couples who do not know what to do or where to turn for help, or who try to outline their own divorce terms and make costly mistakes.
When divorce touches a family running a family-owned or closely-held business, the emotional conflict and turmoil can penetrate the business and obstruct its growth, in Hansen’s experience.
Hansen said she has witnessed revenues decline at businesses due to the conflict and emotional impact of a related divorce. She has also seen business cases in which a divorce caused a severe family split, with children or extended family members taking sides.
