In 2023, 48,700 couples divorced. Let that sink in for a second, it’s a pretty awful number and we all know someone that called it quits on their marriage.
One inescapable fact is that the pressures of business and how money is managed can drive a wedge between even the strongest couples if its not handled with care.
Data from Unified Lawyers identifies financial issues, poor communication and constant conflicts are three of the top six issues that Aussie couples call it quits about. Being in business, especially as a couple, often results in all three of those issues constantly circling like hungry vultures.
The truth, more often than not, is that couples that run a business together often end up with tasks and duties that are outside their usual set of skills and experience. A great example of this, and we’ve seen a lot in 21 years of business, is couples fighting about money and how the finances of a business should be handled.
Emotions can be high, interests can be conflicting, instead of doing this, a better approach is to focus on what each of you are good at, then leaving the other stuff to professionals/experts.
Working together can be challenging, Dale & Mel know this first hand and have clear plans and duties, so if we can help lighten your load let’s talk.
