Financial disclosure is a pivotal aspect of the process when a marriage or de facto relationship comes to an end. Each party must disclose their assets, income, expenses, and debt, and prove their financial contributions as this is the foundation for decisions related to property division, spousal maintenance and child support.
During a traumatic time Bonnie Esposito guided me, rather than directed me through a very emotional and unfamiliar process. I was provided with advice, particular to my situation, rather than being forced down a one size fits all approach. Being involved in the decision making enhanced my awareness of the process and alleviated many of my fears. Thanks Bonnie for your professionalism and support throughout my separation and divorce.
Bonnie immediately made me feel understood and reassured that I had found the right person to provide me with help and advice. I have never had to deal with a legal issue before, and that combined with it being related to my past experience with domestic violence made the whole experience very confronting and scary for me. I can't thank Bonnie enough for her expert and caring assistance through a difficult process.
Separating from a long term relationship has definitely been the most difficult 18 months of my life.I needed specialist help and thankfully was referred to Bonnie. I find Bonnie to be at all times professional, compassionate, pragmatic ( excellent knowledge of how the system works - I had no idea!), strong ( when I was not), able to deal with challenging behaviours " from "the other side" with experienced non judgement included and helpful advice, unbelievable patient ( took at least 3 explanations for me get it.), looked for the lowest but best options for multiple court appearances, ensured all documents were done on time and always open and honest in style. Bonnie, through her hard work, has brought hope again to my life. I highly recommended her services.and wish her and her team all the best.
