Supporting You Through Divorce
Divorce involves complex financial decisions that will impact your future for years. From asset division and pension valuation to tax implications and settlement strategies, you need expert guidance to protect your financial interests.
What We Do: We provide detailed financial analysis and strategic guidance for individuals, attorneys, couples, and mediators. This includes valuing marital assets, analyzing settlement proposals, evaluating tax consequences, and ensuring your agreement actually works in real life.
Executive compensation packages create complex divorce challenges. Stock options, restricted stock, deferred compensation, and performance bonuses require specialized financial analysis to avoid costly mistakes.
Key Questions We Answer:
- Are these assets marital property?
- How do we value unvested options and restricted stock?
- What are the tax consequences of different division strategies?
- How do these affect support calculations—as assets, income, or both?
Understanding your true financial picture requires more than looking at bank statements. I analyze spending patterns, trace money flows, and uncover the financial story of your marriage.
What This Includes:
- Detailed analysis of household expenses and spending patterns
- Investigation of undisclosed assets or hidden income
- Documentation of standard of living for support calculations
- Cash flow projections for post-divorce budgeting
In collaborative divorce, both parties commit to resolving their case outside of court with the support of a trained team of professionals. Financial clarity is central to that process, and a financial neutral helps both parties understand their options and reach agreements grounded in accurate data.
What We Do: We serve as the financial neutral in collaborative divorce cases, working alongside attorneys, divorce coaches, and other collaborative professionals to provide objective analysis for both parties. Through asset evaluation, income analysis, and settlement modeling, we help both parties understand the full financial picture so they can make informed decisions together.
Divorce mediation focuses on cooperation and finding mutually agreeable solutions. Financial clarity helps both parties understand their options and reach fair agreements.
In litigation, the stakes are just as high. Attorneys need accurate, well-documented financial analysis to build strong cases and negotiate effectively on behalf of their clients.
What We Do: We work alongside mediators and couples to provide objective financial analysis during mediation. In litigation settings, we support attorneys with asset valuations, cash flow analysis, settlement modeling, and financial documentation that holds up under scrutiny.
Your divorce decree is just the beginning. Implementing your settlement and building your new financial life requires ongoing expertise and support.
What We Handle:
- QDRO implementation and account transfers
- Asset consolidation and account setup
- Estate planning updates through our partner Lylac Estate Planning (wills, beneficiaries, powers of attorney)
- Insurance coverage review and adjustments
- Long-term wealth building strategy
