Money issues can be a huge source of stress and conflict in marriage—and even more so in divorce. Individuals and couples increasingly are looking for healthier ways to navigate the process.
As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®), I help clients and attorneys address the unique financial issues that accompany divorce. I assist clients in thinking through the short- and long-term real cost of divorce and develop a realistic idea of what their financial situation may look like in the next chapter of their lives. I help clients understand personal vs. marital property, how to value and allocate property, the options for dividing retirement plans and pensions, and how to navigate spousal and child support. I also can serve as a financial neutral for couples who are cooperative. I most enjoy educating and empowering clients throughout the divorce process—providing the knowledge and tools to help them make difficult financial decisions with confidence.
