🍀The Partner Post 🍀

A Message from Mary Gurganus

April often brings financial realities into sharper focus. For many individuals and families navigating separation or divorce, questions around support, shared expenses, financial records, and long-term planning can quickly feel overwhelming.

Because April is Financial Literacy Month, it is a timely reminder that financial understanding matters. A thoughtful conversation, a practical resource, or a trusted introduction can make a meaningful difference when someone is trying to navigate uncertainty.

We are grateful for the professional partners who help support clients and families through these important decisions. The work you do matters, and we are always honored to be part of that shared effort.

Celebrating National Financial Advisors Day, April 18

On April 18, we recognize National Financial Advisors Day and the financial advisors who help individuals and families make informed decisions during times of transition.

We are grateful for the role you play in helping clients prepare for what is ahead, understand their options, and move forward with greater confidence. Your guidance makes a meaningful difference, and we value the partnership we share in supporting our community.

To our financial advisors, thank you for all you do.

Spotlight: Monica Scudiere, Personal Finance Coach

For many professionals supporting clients through separation, the first 30 days often bring the most urgent financial questions, and the least clarity on where to start.

This month, Triangle Divorce Lawyers is highlighting a guest resource from Monica Scudiere, Personal Finance Coach, designed to help North Carolina families take practical, organized first steps during this critical window.

In What to Do Financially in the First 30 Days of Separation: A Practical Checklist, readers will find guidance on organizing financial records, reviewing expenses, monitoring accounts, and preparing for what comes next. It is a valuable tool to share with clients who may need structure and direction early in the process.
