Divorce Financial Analysis
A Peak into the Future
Divorce is an expensive endeavor especially if it is contentious or if you are not sure of what you’re entitled to regarding your settlement. The average cost of a divorce per person in Southern California is $40,000. If you are involved in a contentious divorce with conflict over assets, debts, income, and child custody a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst may be able to help you better understand the best way to divide your assets, debts and income. This can result in a lower cost overall for your divorce since you will be educated and equipped to understand and negotiate your own settlement without being kept behind the scenes and wracking up large legal bills with your attorney.
How We Help
A CDFA stands for certified divorce financial analyst. A CDFA can help you understand your settlement options with regard to taxes, estate planning and retirement issues. While community property in California is often 50/50 it does not mean that every asset that is deemed community needs to be split 50/50.
