1. Getting to know you

We’ll meet with you to learn more about you, understand the financial details, and where you are in the divorce process. We’ll get to know you and seek answers to questions such as:

  • What are your biggest concerns?
  • What is your top priority?

We’ll also help you understand the financial implications of divorce. There is a lot at stake, so it’s important to take the time to understand you and your concerns, needs, and priorities.

2. Gathering information

Next, we’ll work together to gather the necessary details to understand your finances, including tax documents, W-2s, and a list of assets and expenses. This will help us assess the current value of your assets. Accurate, current financial information provides a solid starting point as we help you plan for your future.

3. Assembling your team

If you already have a team in place, you’re one step ahead. We work with many people going through divorce who still need their own specialists such as a CPA and/or estate attorney. We can recommend a few trusted people or help you understand what to look for in a specialist.

4. Building a plan

Now, we start building your financial plan for your life after divorce. We’ll model your settlement options so you can make informed decisions. This will allow you to set realistic goals to form a post-divorce plan that works best for you.

Once your divorce is finalized, the advice and plan we’ve discussed can now be put into action. We will:

  • Support your attorney to follow up on all post-divorce action items.
  • Ensure your share of retirement assets, including those received through a qualified domestic relations order (QRDO) are received in timely manner. 
  • Streamline and consolidate assets and accounts.

6. Ongoing relationship

We often work with our clients for generations—not just for one life event—because financial wellbeing is a journey. We’ll continue to meet, assess your plan, and adjust it as your life and your priorities change.
