HELPING INDIVIDUALS TRANSLATE COMPLEX DIVORCE FINANCES INTO CLEAR, CONFIDENT DECISIONS FOR THEIR FUTURE.
Services
Divorce involves a series of financial decisions that can shape your long-term stability long after the legal process ends. I work with individuals who have begun, or are preparing to begin, the divorce process and want a clear, structured understanding of their financial picture before final agreements are reached. Through objective analysis and scenario-based modeling, I help clients understand how assets may be divided, how cash flow and support outcomes may vary, and how different settlement options affect long-term financial sustainability, so decisions are made with clarity rather than pressure.
Client Education
Divorce often introduces financial concepts and decisions that feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. Client Education provides a structured explanation of key financial issues involved in divorce, how assets are categorized, how support is typically analyzed, and how financial decisions today can affect long-term stability, so you can engage in the process with confidence and clarity.
A clear and accurate picture of the marital estate is the foundation of informed decision-making. This service organizes assets and liabilities into a comprehensive marital balance sheet and, where applicable, summarizes separate and marital property claims through financial tracing, helping identify what is subject to division and what may require closer review.
Understanding how income, expenses, and support interact is critical before agreements are finalized. This analysis models projected cash flow under different support and division scenarios, allowing you to see how various outcomes may affect your monthly and long-term financial sustainability.
Marital Balance Sheets
Cash-Flow & Support Scenarios
Not all settlements produce the same long-term results, even when they appear similar on paper. Settlement Option Comparison evaluates multiple proposed outcomes side-by-side, illustrating how different asset divisions and support structures may impact future cash flow, liquidity, and overall financial stability.

Neutral Financial Summary
Clear financial analysis can help reduce confusion and streamline discussions with other professionals involved in the process. A Neutral Financial Summary presents key financial findings, assumptions, and modeled outcomes in a clear, objective format designed to support productive conversations and informed decision-making.
How Fees Work
Every divorce is different, so services are tailored to your specific situation, goals, and where you are in the divorce process. Rather than offering individual or à la carte services, I work with clients on a case-by-case basis to provide comprehensive financial guidance based on what you actually need.
Fees are charged as a flat fee, not hourly. The total cost is determined after an initial conversation and depends on the complexity of your finances and the scope of analysis required. Payment is split into two parts: the first is due when we begin working together, and the second is due at the end of the engagement, before final reports or summaries are delivered.
This approach provides clarity and predictability, so you know what to expect and can focus on making informed financial decisions.
