Even if your divorce is a relatively amicable one, couples (and their families) are often caught in a maelstrom of emotions at a time when they are having to make considerable changes to their lives. But what other aspects of life are often impacted by divorce – beyond those where decisions are forced due to the legal and financial discussions lots of couples have?
Huw Williams, Private Banker at Nedbank Private Wealth, is joined by a panel of advisers who each have considerable experience in supporting one ‘side’, or sometimes both parties, during the divorce process. These are:
Our experts were brought together by Aphrodite Angels, which has a philosophy that sets out it is extremely important for people going through these major life changes to use advisors who treat them with courtesy and respect, and guide them through the major legal and financial challenges, with professionalism and understanding.
Our 30 minute discussion took place on 11 May, but can be watched on demand, to flag the scope of the conversations people should be having if they are going through, or have recently finalised, a divorce.
For more in our series focusing on divorce, you can catch up on next webinar here: Divorce, pre-nups and pandemics – recent legal changes and those coming soon.
Note: since the webinar was recorded, the date for the ‘no fault’ divorce law coming into effect has been moved to 6 April 2022.

Sarah Wadham founded Aphrodite Angels in 2011 having seen huge transformation and personal change in her own life and faced many of the worries and concerns which the network’s members help their clients solve.
The Aphrodite Angels’ story started following Sarah’s divorce after 17 years of marriage, which left her bringing up four children and the need to rekindle her career. On returning to work, Sarah built up many contacts in the financial and legal sectors and explored a number of self-help and personal development options. Her extensive network of members and supporters has been a source of strength and inspiration when things were tough. And she shares her contacts and experiences to help and inspire others who are ‘starting over’, whether as a result of divorce, redundancy, bereavement or the need for a fresh beginning. Her message is that although divorce is traumatic, difficult and emotionally draining, the process and other life changes can be a positive experience and typically leads to a new and empowering future for everybody involved. “You will get through it” has proved to be a key dictum.
