Your divorce attorney is brilliant at the law. Your financial advisor knows your investment portfolio inside and out. But here’s what most women don’t realize until it’s too late: there’s a significant gap between the two, and your settlement lives in that gap.
A traditional financial advisor isn’t trained in the financial mechanics of divorce. Divorce is a specialized financial event, and general financial planning doesn’t prepare anyone for it.
On the other side, your divorce attorney is focused on the legal process and procedure, and rightfully so. But they’re not there to tell you whether taking the house over the 401(k) will leave you house-poor, or whether a lump-sum settlement beats ongoing support over time.
That’s exactly where a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst comes in. A CDFA® sits at the intersection of law and finance — specifically trained to analyze what a settlement means for your financial future, not just today, but for years to come. She’s not a luxury. She’s a critical member of your team.
I bring something even more layered to that role. As a former legislative strategist, I understand how policy, process, and negotiation intersect at the highest levels. As a licensed attorney, I read every agreement, every order, and every financial disclosure with legal precision — I don’t just advise on the numbers, I understand the legal weight behind them. As a licensed financial advisor and CDFA®, I combine the analytical rigor of financial planning with deep fluency in how divorce actually works from the inside.
My clients don’t just get financial guidance. They get someone who has lived in every room of this process.
You deserve someone who speaks both languages fluently. Reach out if you’d like to chat about your case.
