Financially Smart Divorce

Divorce is never financially smart! As a financial planner, I don't recommend divorce. It's bad for your finances! However, you can go through it in the most financially smart way – to leave both of you in the best possible position. We have seen quite a few people go through divorce. We've seen some total disasters, fighting for years through lawyers with monstrous legal costs. A wife hiring one lawyer after another for years to keep going after her ex. A dentist declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying alimony. We have helped clients go through it amicably while talking & agreeing on what to do. We can help identify the financially best way to divide assets. We can show how to minimize or avoid tax when dividing assets. Paying tax means you both get less. I am a financial planner – not a lawyer. My insights here are based on experience about how to be as financially smart as possible.
