for Divorcing Individuals

| Separation and divorce are often scary
and overwhelming, and for good reason. Studies show that divorce often
leaves one spouse prospering while the other flounders, even sinking
into bankruptcy. Here's how we can help.
Vision
You want to know whether a particular divorce settlement would be
good for you. We can tell you through simple, clear illustrations.
If the settlement isn't right, we can tell you what to do to make
it right.
Recovery
You know there are lots of financial pitfalls during both separation
and divorce. We steer you around them - avoiding problems with taxes,
debt, retirement accounts and pensions, health insurance, and dealing
with the family residence.
Stability
You want to come through divorce without facing a lifetime of financial
struggles. We help you find a settlement and a financial life that
works for you and your children - one with the best possible financial
security.

| Can I use
your help if I am working with a divorce lawyer or mediator? |

expertise can be a great help to lawyers and mediators, who
typically don't have training in this area.. |

with individuals, but can work with couples who are committed

issues of separation and divorce, preparing you to make the
most effective and cost efficient use of your lawyer. |

complications when creating divorce settlements, and can refer
