What Does a CDFA® Do?

One of the most difficult aspects of going through a divorce is all the uncertainty, especially around finances. It's really hard to make plans when you have no idea where the pieces are going to land.

Will you be able to afford to stay in the home? Will you have to move? Will you have to change jobs or go back to work? Will the kids have to change schools? Will you have enough to retire? Will you be able to continue to save for retirement, college or emergency savings? Will you have to find affordable health insurance? Will you receive or have to pay child support or maintenance? Is your spouse hiding income or assets from you? Is what they're proposing a fair settlement? How will taxes impact property division? What is your pension worth? If either you or your spouse have equity compensation, how will that factor in?

A Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® can help you answer those questions. A CDFA® will run the analysis on proposed settlement options and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions. A CDFA® can perform pension valuations, help calculate child support and maintenance, spot red flags indicating potential hidden assets, perform a lifestyle analysis, answer your financial questions and help you craft divorce and post-divorce budgets.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
