Divorce


You May Need a Certified Divorce Finance Analyst (CDFA®)

As a CDFA®, I work alongside clients who seek a financial advocate throughout and after their divorce process. A divorce can be the largest financial transaction in a person's life. Our services include, but are not limited to, working with you, your attorney and accountants to:

     * Present a clear financial assessment, current and future

     * Help understand the financial implications of different settlements 

     * Guiding decision making financially vs. emotionally

     * Limiting tax liabilities

We're advocates on your behalf, always, While we don't provide tax or legal advice, we analyze the data and provide litigation support to your attorney and accountant. The analysis helps support your financial position in the case settlement. We'll forecast the long-term effects of various divorce settlement options, including potential tax liabilities and benefits.

Using a CDFA® can reduce your divorce expenses and bring the peace of mind that comes from a better understanding of your finances.
