The financial
ramifications of a divorce can be devastating. But with proper planning
and expert help from financial professionals specializing in divorce,
you can increase your chances of arriving at a settlement that fully
addresses your long-term financial needs -- and also those of your
spouse.
What's missing in many
divorce processes is financial expertise. A CPA or Certified
Divorce Financial Analyst™ can help you to understand both the short and
long-term effects of a settlement proposal.
Additionally, when there are considerable
 assets at stake,
or expertise is required to value a business or trust
interest, stock options or deferred compensation, then a financial
professional trained and experienced in these areas is important to make
sure that you arrive at an equitable settlement. And, if there are
separate property claims, then expertise is often required to trace the
separate property to confirm that it is indeed separate and not marital.
Please note that we do not
provide legal advice. We always recommend that you engage an
attorney who specializes in family law to, at minimum, review any
agreement that you make before filing it with the court.
“Remember that
the decisions you’re making now will affect you the rest of your life.
Developing a long-term forecast for your financial situation is better
than a short-term snapshot.” The Denver
Post, May 15, 2003
