What's often missing in the divorce process is objective financial expertise supported by comprehensive and accurate information. We can project the long-term effects of the settlement so that both partners have a clearer view of their financial futures. Only then can they approach a settlement that fully addresses the financial needs and capabilities of each.Once the decision to move forward with the divorce has been made there are many questions such as:
Who should keep the house?
How much will it cost to live post divorce?
How much alimony is there going to be and for how long?
Will the custody arrangement affect child support?
How can the retirement accounts be split and the money accessed?
How can a business be offset?
Should a business be valued?
What is the value of health care benefits?
Most important of all, will you be able to financially survive (and thrive) with the settlement post divorce? These and other questions must be answered and worked through in an organized manner. Only with accurate and complete financial information can these issues be properly addressed.
