Most of the professionals on your divorce team are geared to bring you to the finish line: divorce. A skilled divorce financial planner is the only professional on your divorce team that is concerned about what happens to you after the divorce. That is why you need one. 

Once a marriage has broken down and a decision has been made by one or both spouses to divorce, the financial implications of divorce can be devastating. Devastating not only to you and your spouse, but also to your children, family and friends. Divorce not only has a traumatic emotional impact but a financial impact as well.  Your life after divorce will depend heavily on your decisions during the divorce process.

Our experienced divorce financial planners take the time to help you understand how the personal finance strategies you adopt today will impact your finances now and twenty years from now.
