Divorce is a lot more than a legal process. It’s also a very technical financial challenge. Fortunately, with a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® professional like me on your side, I can help you and your client to clear all of these intimidating hurdles:
The Affidavit of Financial Information is overwhelming for your clients. Its questions about their current financial situation are often hard enough to answer; its questions about their future financial picture are downright daunting. Let me help. For a flat fee of just $495, I’ll help your divorcing-women clients complete their AFI, within one week of my getting the supporting documents. So they—and you—will have a good, solid AFI that opposing counsel can’t poke holes in, for a flat fee, in fast time. Contact me to help your clients get started.
What are your client’s—and her children’s—financial needs? They’re hardly static; children grow. And tax laws treat them differently at different ages (and where they live, for given portions of the year), so you need to know exactly what you’re doing to plan the best possible future for them. I’m an expert at this. Let me help.
My attorney clients uniformly love this service from me, when it’s needed. Let me and my team determine who-owned-what, and when. You’ll often need a financial “snapshot” of one specific date in time, such as when your client first married, or when they were separated. Tracking this down can be tricky: It requires special software and forensic skills to reconstruct what something was worth, at a given time, compared to what it’s worth now—or what it will yield in the future. The implications are huge. Don’t try to do this yourself: your time is better spent on billable services, and, frankly, you won’t uncover the things that I will.
You can’t complete a divorce without a full and accurate picture of all the financial elements. This is inherently hard—but it gets even trickier when, say, the spouse is trying to hide assets or information or there are hard-to-value assets such as pensions. Let me scrutinize his AFI. Let me pore through those bank statements, tax returns… all of it. I can see when things “don’t look right,” and dig deeper, on your behalf, when necessary. I have saved my clients a fortune doing this—and made their attorneys look like superstars in the process.
Let me help with the complex calculations needed to complete any Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.
How much will your client be able to count on, each month, each year? Is it being calculated accurately? Fairly? What are the tax considerations? Put me and my team to work on this for you.
This is a brief overview of just a few of the financial services I provide for women facing divorce. Yes, this is highly technical. And I’m highly qualified to tackle it. But I promise to make everything clear and simple for you: What your client will get. What she can expect. Because the financial/technical side is my job, not yours.
