Divorcing couples are often unaware of the financial implications of various settlement options. As a Neutral Financial Professional, Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) I help couples evaluate their financial situation and develop creative solutions to complex financial problems. As a neutral, I provide greater creditably in providing information and fostering a dialogue than an advocate. This makes it easier to reach mutually satisfying agreements.
