WHAT WE STAND FOR
Financial experience should not determine whose questions are heard
People enter divorce with different levels of involvement in household finances. Earning the income, managing the accounts, and caring for a household are different responsibilities. None should be a reason to dismiss someone’s questions or assume they already know what a financial proposal means.
Information that can be understood and examined
A figure or conclusion is more useful when a person can understand where it came from. We believe financial explanations should make the relevant information, assumptions, and unanswered questions apparent. People should be able to distinguish what is documented from what is estimated or still needs clarification.
Questions without judgment
Not knowing a financial term is not a personal failing. Asking for another explanation or raising a concern should be a normal part of the conversation. We encourage people to speak up when something is unclear and seek appropriate professional input when a question falls outside their own knowledge.
Respect for different lives and responsibilities
A person’s income or familiarity with financial accounts does not capture every responsibility they have carried within a household. We believe conversations about divorce should leave room for care giving, family commitments, and cultural considerations without making assumptions about someone’s knowledge or contributions.
PUTTING OUR COMMITMENT INTO PRACTICE
Create opportunities to learn
Yetti’s individual educational sessions and group seminars or workshops give this commitment a practical place in the business. They offer a setting for exploring financial concepts and discussing questions, including those people may have felt hesitant to ask elsewhere.
Our advocacy takes the form of financial education and support for informed participation. Legal advice and legal representation remain the role of your attorney.
