After seeing investment clients receive bad or no financial advice during their divorce, my partner Dwayne and I reasoned there must be a better way-A new way- to divorce. Through our firm, ANEW Divorce Planning, we are passionate about advocating for our clients who live primarily in Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. Our mission is to give them all the information they need to make good, informed decisions that help them move on and start a new chapter in their life without the anxiety of wondering if they are going to be ok financially.
Collaborative Services
I firmly believe that understanding all of your financial options reduces stress and conflict during a divorce.
