Schedule a consultation with our team to make sure you and your future spouse are both legally protected should a divorce occur. Some key takeaways from this episode include: There is a conflict of interest between being both your financial advisor and your CDFA. Your CDFA should only be invested in you making the best financial decisions for your needs through the divorce process. A financial advisor can steer you in managing your accounts after your divorce. Don’t move financial assets around without your CDFA. Let them help you figure out the details, like what constitutes “half” of the assets, how individual accounts will be divided, costs that may be missed, and so much more. No two cases are the same. Even if your situation is very similar to someone else’s, a professional will identify the nuances from a financial and legal perspective to make sure your unique needs are met.
