About Baume and Company
Baume and Company is Australia’s premiere divorce planning organization.
As a wedding planner assists in wedding plans so a divorce planner focuses on all aspects of the divorce. If you are thinking about leaving your marriage or are in the middle of divorce proceedings you need to have a strategy to minimize the hurt to your assets and children and put you in the best possible position for your post divorce life.
All the programs we offer are designed for the individual needs of a person thinking about, going through or coming out of divorce. The programs and support groups have been designed with the individual needs of these specific groups in mind.
Programs include
- Pre Divorce Planning – especially designed for those wishing to leave their marriage and need help to plan the numerous matters this involves.
- Post Divorce Planning – this is our program for individuals who finished going through the divorce process and now need help planning their new life.
- The Divorce Program – Is our coaching program for people going through divorce. The eight areas of life are carefully looked at as well as divorce planning, post divorce planning and divorce support.
- Divorce Etiquette Workshops – our one day workshops designed to make divorce easier for those who find they do not know the right way to behave in these new circumstances.
- Support Groups – We run divorce support groups in Sydney for men and women to get feedback from others in the same situation.
- Telephone Support – telephone support is available for those that have a short question that needs answering.
Nicola Baume
Baume and Company is the brainchild of Nicola Baume who has been a divorce planner and coach since 2004.
Nicola is dedicated to getting people through the divorce process in the best emotional, physical, financial and legal shape possible so they are able to easily start a new and fulfilling life on their own terms.
Nicola likens divorce to the birth of your first child:
‘When you are having your first child everything you learn is about the birth, you go to birthing classes and find
out all sorts of information on what can go wrong or the different kinds of birthing techniques.
The day arrives and you spend anything from a couple of hours to a couple of days giving birth. It can be really easy or really hard but it happens because the baby is coming out no matter what.
When the birth is over, you suddenly find yourself with a baby you have to take care of 24/7 and don’t know where to begin. The thing is the birth was always going to happen, you can’t stop it, it mightn’t go to your plan or it might be perfect, but it is the baby that matters and knowing what to do with the baby and not many people plan for this.
‘Divorce is the same, spend all your time concentrating on the settlement (the birth) which is going to happen, and when it does you will find that you are lost because you have not planned for what is important, your new life (the bringing home of the baby).’
‘Divorce planning is more than getting through the legal proceedings it is deciding how you wish to live your life and making a firm positive move in that direction.’
Nicola is the co-author of Anti-Ageing the Secrets published by Pan Macmillan Australia, 1999.
