# Negotiating a Healthy Future

### Sign up here for our free support call on Thursday, April 14th.

Divorce affects the design of a family. How do you negotiate now to avoid complications and ease tensions down the road, especially when it comes to a new step or blended family?  In this call you'll:

- **Peak into the future to see what life after divorce looks like for many people**
- **Better understand the difference between "blended" and "step" family**
  
  **Consider how the financial terms you create NOW play out LATER - especially when someone re-marries.**
- **Tips to create a mindfully-constructed agreement and parenting plan. **
