What Is Divorce & Settlement Support?
During divorce, it’s easy to focus on the urgent—kids, housing, paperwork—while the financial effects get overlooked.
I help you see the full picture before terms are locked in, then turn it into practical strategies so your settlement supports your new life.
Why It Matters
Financial choices you make now shape your next years. Smart, coordinated decisions help you avoid future unnecessary taxes and debt, giving you the tools to rebuild your life.
How We Help
1) Case Clarity Call – We map your situation, priorities, and deadlines so your work stays focused.
2) Financial & Tax Review – I analyze tax documents and personal financial records to identify risks and opportunities.
3) Your Settlement Financial Plan – You and your attorney will receive financial options to strategize, negotiate a strong outcome, and finalize a beneficial divorce decree.
4) Implementation Support – I'll help you execute the plan with implementation support, IRS representation, and progress tracking.
Strategy Examples
I coordinate with your attorney so every financial step supports your legal strategy leading to a favorable resolution.
-
Find and document hidden/undisclosed assets (incl. retirement accounts) for negotiation.
-
Analyze spending patterns to address waste and support a fair alimony outcome.
-
Optimize future tax liability (filing status; child/dependent credits) and resolve IRS issues.
-
Neutralize joint debt (cards, HELOCs, loans) to prevent post-decree surprises.
-
Protect the settlement long-term (life-insurance requirements, QDRO/retirement splits, practical business-payout terms).
