Divorce and Life Transitions

Divorce is one of life's hardest transitions, financially and personally. We bring a steady hand and a clear financial picture to the process, so you can make sound decisions during a stressful time and rebuild around your next chapter with confidence. We work as your financial adviser throughout, alongside your attorney and other professionals.

WHAT YOU GET

The work behind this part of your plan.

The same people stay with you from the first analysis through the years after the settlement, so the detail of your situation never has to be rebuilt from scratch.

Divorce Financial Analysis

We model each settlement option side by side so you can see how a proposal on paper would actually support you in five, ten, and twenty years.

Division of Assets

Dividing assets and understanding a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). A QDRO is what allows a retirement account to be divided without triggering an avoidable tax bill, and we help you see which assets are truly comparable in value.

Tax Considerations

Two settlements of equal size can leave very different amounts after taxes. We identify that gap early, working alongside your tax and legal advisers, so it is priced into the negotiation.

Cash Flow After Transition

We build a realistic monthly picture for a single household, including the costs that change quietly, so you know what your income actually supports before you commit to it.

Rebuilding the Plan

Once the settlement is final we reset retirement targets, investments, insurance, and beneficiary designations around your name alone, not the plan you built together.

A Steady Presence

You keep the same financial team through the process and long after it, so nothing has to be explained from the beginning again at the moment you least want to.
