If you and your spouse have chosen the legal route of divorce, i.e. each of you hiring an attorney and letting the attorneys guide you through the divorce process of discovery, conciliation, and trial, you may very well feel the need for comprehensive financial guidance from a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA).
Many of our clients need financial guidance in addition to the legal guidance they are receiving from their attorneys. Attorneys are experts in the legal aspect of divorce. Janet has 24 years of divorce financial experience helping her clients determine and understand what is the best financial solution to their divorce equitable distribution. She analyses their current spending needs and more importantly their needs post divorce; do they need alimony and if so, how much and for how long. She helps them make decisions regarding selling or keeping the house; what assets to choose; taxation of assets; what percentage of the overall marital assets, and what is the mix of assets they will need to continue to live to old age. Janet takes the guess-work out of equitable distribution, so that her clients know they will be ok, and not just cross their fingers and hope so!
