Money arguments are a leading cause of divorce
— and those money arguments can become even more intense as the divorce process unfolds. If that sounds like you, welcome. You are not alone and I bet you’re really tired of arguing about money, especially as you navigate the painful process of separating your life from your spouse.
But if you haven’t been tracking every penny throughout your marriage, it’s difficult to anticipate what your day-to-day needs will be when the circumstances change.
And the reality is, life is going to be different.
Your lifestyle is going to change.
The key is ensuring that your divorce settlement will lead to financial freedom - not financial ruin.
What Is Divorce Financial Mediation?
As a Divorce Financial Mediator, I help uncover a clearer picture of what your current financial situation looks like and how different settlement scenarios might impact your future. I have no personal stake in the game — I’m just a financial professional who can help you to make the best, most informed choices on dividing your finances that will best benefit you and your family.
Division of property (assets/liabilities)
Child Support / Spousal Support
Impact of taxes
Retirement concerns
I’ll work in tandem with your family law/divorce attorney — yes, you do still need an attorney! — to find the best financial outcome for everyone involved. Sometimes agreements come easy, but most times they take time and a lot of work. When agreements are hard to reach, that is when I step in to help. It is my job to keep the lines of communication open, brainstorm ideas, and assist in the decision-making process.
Let’s find workable solutions that are rooted in the reality of your financial picture, past, present and future. And if we can save you some stress, heartache, and money along the way, then we’ve truly succeeded to “navigate your divorce”!
