Divorce Financial Planning

Divorce is devastating—not only to the individuals involved, but also to the children, family, friends, and employers of the divorcing couple. Divorce not only has a traumatic emotional impact, but a financial impact as well. 

Because of the financial complexity of many divorces, more and more financial professionals  (financial planners and accountants) are being asked to play an active role helping individuals and attorneys sort through the financial issues related to divorce. 

If you're going through divorce you're probably contemplating these financial questions:

• ​How do we value our property?
• Who gets what property?
• What are the tax implications? 
• How do we divide retirement funds and future pensions?
• And so much more overwhelming questions!

I work with individuals and attorneys to:

• Compile financial data, such as a list of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, taxes, and budget information that best meet the needs of the family. 
• Prepare projections of proposed financial settlements, showing the short- and long-term effects on both parties. 
• Present financial data and projected settlement options at the mediation or arbitration sessions. 
• Prepare and present additional options as a result of the mediation or arbitration sessions. 
• ​Has knowledge about the legal issues in divorce.
• ​Is trained to interview clients on financial matters
