Olivia Summerhill CFP®, CDFA® - Pets and Divorce: Should You Have A Pet "Prenup"? on "Why Do Pets Matter?" hosted by Debra Hamilton #169

Olivia Summerhill, CFP®, CDFA®-- a financial planner -- is joining us during this episode of "Why Do Pets Matter?"  Olivia helps women who are going through a divorce with their finances. One thing she has noticed is that most people don't put together a plan for their pets while they still like one another -- pre- disagreements, separation, and ultimately divorce. Olivia is sharing her thoughts about the importance of having a plan in place for the care of your pet from the perspective of a financial planner who has seen the devastating consequences of her clients' not having any sort of agreements in place pre-divorce. The last thing you want is for your ego or pride to get in the way of doing what's in the best interest of your animal!   Learn More About Olivia Summerhill: Olivia Summerhill, the founder of Summerhill Wealth Management, works exclusively with affluent women, protecting their lifestyle throughout the divorce process.
