Divorce Financial Planning
It is said that you get divorced three times: legally, emotionally and financially. When the legal issues are resolved and the emotional issues are behind you, the financial settlement will still significantly impact the rest of your life. A divorce financial analyst can provide you with the tools and information to use in negotiating a fair settlement and to understand how to live and pay your bills after the divorce.
We can work together with your attorney, mediator, collaborative team, accountant or realtor. Contact us for answers to all your divorce financial planning questions.
