Before signing the financial settlement of a divorce, it is critical to understand the value of the assets and maintenance being negotiated on your behalf and what that will mean to you for the rest of your life.

​How long will the funds last? What lifestyle will it provide for you? What are the tax implications?  How much will you need to fund a lifestyle and perhaps raise your family?

The divorce process is one of the most stressful life events a person can experience.  Inherent to the process are emotional, mental, and financial costs.  Having an experienced financial advisor to partner with throughout the process can often make a difference to the successful outcomes of financial settlements.
