A Trusted Starting Point

Professionals Provide Direction, Strategies, Financial And Life Plans At Any Stage Of Separation Or Divorce

"Many of our clients are caught off guard by divorce and don’t know where to start. Others need calm thinking partners to guide them, while others are referred to us for advice when 'things aren’t going well' after they’ve divorced," says Keri Gwynne, Starting Point Divorce Advocacy founder and certified divorce coach. She promises the company’s mission is to keep divorces from spiraling out of control financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually through customized, thorough client preparation. Four topics about which clients have initial questions follow:

DIVORCE PROCESS

Starting Point has a group of incredible resources on staff, including a CPA. They analyze and organize clients' taxes, incomes, business values, marital balance sheets and budgets into financial blueprints. They also partner with the most respected marriage counselors, attorneys, therapists, child psychologists, financial experts and job recruiters in Davidson and Williamson Counties.

BIGGEST FEARS/CONCERNS

"It’s an honor to walk alongside someone in their darkest days of divorce," assures Keri. “We know most people feel fearful, alone, overwhelmed and unsure. We address all concerns, and provide as many options as possible so our clients can make their best decisions."

REPRESENTATION

Keri says Starting Point clients save 70-80% in legal fees and unnecessary battles. Lawyers confirm that Starting Point professionals assist greatly by preparing clients for the many issues, enabling them to laser-focus on legal aspects. 

DESIRED GOALS

Starting Point helps clients deal with emotional aspects, such as keeping homes, alimony, child custody and fear of post-divorce life. Diane Marks, Starting Point communications director, says the team offers monthly speaking topics, workshops and groups. "We help clients transition socially by meeting new friends and introducing various interest events in meetup groups and online channels," she adds.  

Note:  This Franklin-based team offers a complimentary, 30-minute consultation and an online questionnaire. Additionally, Starting Point Ministries is the group's new nonprofit arm.
