“In my humble opinion, ‘Taking Control’ should be a court ordered mandatory part of the divorce process. There are many sources available for ‘life’ before and after divorce: counseling, books, seminars, and such. Yet, until now, we have been left to our own devices at the most crucial, most vulnerable stage ...actually going through the divorce. ‘Taking Control’ answers questions you did not even know you were supposed to ask, and believe me, the list is long. For your emotional, mental, and financial well being, please make this a priority. It has been a ‘lifesaver’.”

“‘Taking Control’ has provided me with a complete divorce checklist in regards to mental, emotional, and financial well being. A woman cannot lose perspective as she goes though this tough journey. The information obtained in ‘Taking Control’ is a necessity before the final agreements are made. Educate yourself. Do a reality check. Have the knowledge to invest in your best asset – yourself.”

“I was referred to Taking Control by my therapist when I first decided to divorce. My biggest fear was money problems and not getting an equitable share of the assets I had helped build over the past 28 years. Through Taking Control I got in touch with Chad, who walked me through these concerns step by step, telling me what to look for and what copies of documents to make before I even went to hire an attorney. Thank God it is over and I did very well. If it hadn't been for the advice and knowledge I obtained in Taking Control, I would not have been prepared. I think a lot of women who are in my shoes have the same fear. "I don't think I can make it on my own financially." Not true, no matter where you start out, Taking Control can help you get to where you are going and stay out of the poor house while you are soaring. Thank you Taking Control.”

“Divorce is not a process to sleep through or delegate to others to handle for you. At the end of the day, you will owe it to yourself (and your children) to aim for the best possible outcome, so you can start the next chapter of your journey as prepared as possible. In other words, act as if you future depends on it, because it just might!”

“No matter what- know what matters!” The Taking Control workshop guided me through this most grueling legal process and helped me to understand what really mattered in my divorce.
One of the speakers, S. C. Scott, is an invaluable advisor. He awakened me to financial management and organizational skills while directing me to knowledgeable experts that were relevant to my needs at this time. The wealth of informative “free” seminars allowed me to understand so many emotional, legal, and financial situations, and I developed a supportive network of acquaintances with many women who shared the same concerns. This life altering event can so cause so much fear and anxiety because of the unknown. Attorneys do not discuss financial plans or emotional upheaval. Understanding the process and knowing what is important in your situation will allow you to take control. These workshops are conducted with reassuring expertise, exceptional kindness, and an uncanny sense of humor that make participants feel comfortable.”
I thanked God for directing me to these workshops and giving me the opportunity to find so many wonderful experts that can assist women in directing their lives successfully before, during, and after their divorce.”
