       Divorce Financial Analysis

    As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst I have the experience and training to help you with the financial side of your divorce regardless of whether you are doing it yourself or pursuing a mediated or a collaborative divorce.

    I work cooperatively with you, your attorney(s), and other financial professionals to develop a settlement that will work for you. Only an attorney can tell you your legal rights, but the final decision is yours, and you will want to know that you have made sound informed decisions.

    The Process:

    I collect financial statements, which allow me to calculate the assets and then project what each person will have financially over, 5, 10, 15 or more years using different scenarios. I work with individuals or both spouses. My goal is to show various projections based on different scenarios, that both spouses, as well as the lawyers, and judge, can examine during divorce proceedings to determine how to divide assets in order to reach a fair settlement that both parties can live with regarding:.

    Lawyers are good at dealing with the legal aspects of divorce, but I have found that many aren’t as proficient at dealing with the financial aspects, such as, tax implications, investments, stock options, deferred compensation, alimony, living expenses, pension plans, child support, and other benefits.
