Some billionaire couples find it is not necessary to hire an advokat when they divorce, and real estate billionaires Tim and Edra Blixseth have decided to do things their own way. The couple is worth an estimated two billion dollars, and are not using accountants or advokater to handle their friendly divorce. Together and married for twenty five years, the couple have split amicably, and reached most of the property settlement in one afternoon while they shared a bottle of wine. Each made a personal list of property that they wanted to keep, and then they did some old fashioned horse swapping, with each giving a little and getting almost everything they wanted, with no large advokat or accounting costs involved. He aim of the couple is to keep their dignity even though divorcing, and neither wants to be splashed across newspapers all over the world in the latest divorce scandal. The split is so friendly that rather than divide the three jets owned by the couple, they have agreed to share them. This is a big step forward in a world where sharing the same restaurant dining room for some divorced couples is too much for some relations.



If couples can reasonably discuss a divorce, and come to terms on property and asset divisions, then a divorce advokat may not be necessary, but if you do not have one make sure you get everything in writing and signed by your significant other. Divorces have a way of bringing out the worst in many people, and most divorces are not as friendly as the one between Tim and Edra Blixseth. A divorce advokat can help protect your assets and rights, and should be at least consulted, especially when large amounts of money or property are at stake or there are children involved. In a world that sometimes seems like it has gone crazy from greed, it is really an eye opener to see a couple with so much at stake each to cooperate and do what is best for the both of them. Too many times divorcing couples, especially if they are rich or powerful, turn the divorce into a battle of wills that no one wins, and they lose all sense of dignity and decorum in the process. Kudos to the Blixseth couple for showing the rest of the world how to stay friendly in the middle of a divorce after long years of marriage, and with both parties agreeing not to get a divorce advokat.
