Gather and Assess Financial Information
We understand the volume of information to assemble can be overwhelming. Our role is to work with you to identify and collect financial data from the marriage. We have a comprehensive documentation checklist which identifies key documents that will be required in the financial data collection process. We use these documents to help you prepare your financial affidavit, financial statement, or mediator documents.
Budget. Analyze, and Goal Setting
A budgeting and cashflow analysis is prepared to give you a comprehensive understanding of what your post-divorce lifestyle will be like. We also review with you your goals for your new life, and some must haves you are looking for in a settlement.
All of this information is critical as we help you analyze possible settlement options. As we review options, we will help you understand the financial and tax consequences of taking ownership of certain assets and how they impact the settlement agreement.
We help you reach a settlement that fully addresses your long-term financial needs.
