Wedding planners have been around a long time now to take the stress off the bride, bride’s parents and (to a lesser extent) the groom. For some it’s a good idea, as planning a wedding can be a very stressful thing to have to do and having a professional do that for you would leave you free to get on with the actual act of getting married.

However, how come there are no companies offering divorce planning services? It would make perfect sense, because organising a divorce is just as much effort as organising a wedding. With a wedding you need to organise the flowers, cake, cars, dress, church, band etc… but with a divorce you need to organise far more, such as custody of the kids, the dog, dividing up all of the possessions (including the wedding gifts), splitting the house, dividing up the money, the list goes on.

So I’d like to see services such as divorce planning coming into the mainstream. Divorces are really stressful, and having someone to plan it all for you and take the pressure off your divorce would be a great idea!
