Divorce Financial Planning

Even a “friendly” divorce creates significant stress and long-lasting financial challenges. It’s a traumatic life event that triggers emotions such as anger, anxiety, worry, and confusion. There are so many decisions to be made during this stressful time, and the wrong choices can have devastating results for many years to come.

ATTORNEYS CONCENTRATE ON LAW

Divorce attorneys are generally focused on the legal aspects of divorce and may not have as much experience with complex financial matters. Whether you’re pursuing a traditional dissolution, working through mediation, or taking the collaborative route, working with a financial planner who has a deep understanding of divorce issues can protect your financial interests today and down the road.
