Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®
The financial results of a divorce can be devastating to both parties, but with the educated guidance of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, you can increase your chances of an equitable divorce, resulting in long-term financial confidence for both parties.
Many people getting divorced do not think to engage a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, however sitting down with a financial planner to map out the financial road-map of your division of assets and post-divorce life can be helpful in many ways.
1. Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® can help you determine what your priority financial needs are, allowing you to better focus your negotiations.
A large part of the divorce process consists of dividing assets and finances between two parties. Hiring a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® can help you organize and understand the many financial pieces being divided in a divorce, including understanding the investments made during the marriage, determining marital assets, and interpreting a forensic analyst’s findings from bank statements, retirement plans and investment accounts.
2. A Financial Planner can help you make decisions about the appropriate ways to divide your assets.
Every couple’s finances and assets are different. It is important to make informed decisions about dividing assets in a way that benefits the parties involved. Every couple can divide cash flow, liquid assets, investments, properties and retirement assets differently. A divorce financial planner can help each individual make the smartest decision for their particular lives. Additionally, a financial planner understands tax and other financial implications and can advise you on how the division of assets would affect your tax filings and the appropriate tax strategy for you.
3. They can guide you in determining a suitable strategy to build up wealth again in your post-divorce life, as well as help you balance cash flow, liquid assets and retirement assets moving forward.
