Q1:  What is divorce financial Planning?

 

A1:  Both parties provide a financial affidavit that has details about their
      living expenses, income sources, assets, and liabilities.  A trained
      
Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ helps you gather than information
      and uses it to create a financial settlement that is fair and equitable
      for both parties.

 

Q2:  What is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™, and what can they
       do for me?

 

A2:  The financial consequences of a divorce can be devastating.  But with
      proper planning and expert help from a Certified Divorce Financial
      Analyst™, you can significantly improve your chances of arriving at a
      settlement that fully addresses both your immediate and long-term
      financial needs - as well as the needs of your spouse.  What’s missing
      in most divorce processes is financial expertise.  A CDFA™ can forecast
      the long-term effects of the settlement – including tax issues, retirement
      implications, division of property, and the financial requirements for child
      and spousal support.

      By using a CDFA™, both parties have a clearer view of their financial
      futures.  Only then can you approach a settlement that fully addresses
      the financial needs and capabilities of each.


Q3:  
What exactly does a divorce attorney do for me?

 

A3:  Your attorney’s role is to provide legal advice pertaining to your rights
      as you go through your divorce.  This can include child and/or spousal
      support, custody issues, temporary financial relief, drafting a divorce
      decree and other legal documents, mediating your case, representing
      you at hearings, depositions, and trials, negotiating your wishes, and
      working with you to gather and review financial information.  
  
Q4:  
Is the attorney able to make financial projections for me and my
        soon to be ex-spouse?

     analysis or planning.  

 

Q5:  Why should I hire a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™?  Can’t
        the attorney or my financial advisor do the same thing?

 

A5:  A CDFA™ has been trained as a divorce specialist in the financial analysis
      and planning arena.  You need a CDFA™ who understands the tax law
      and other intricacies pertaining to the financial aspects of divorce.  An
      attorney is an expert on the legalities of a divorce.

       Analyst™

      help you make informed decisions that are right for you and your family.

 

Q7:  How will I know if I can make it on my own financially before I file
       for divorce?

 

A7:  The best approach is to have a financial analysis that was completed by
      a CDFA™ who has specialized software and knowledge about how the
      tax laws my affect they.  He or she can run different scenarios and
      help you project your net work and cash flow into the future.  This is
      the assistance you need to make informed decisions about your future.
