Karen Sparks - Divorce and Finances

Karen D. Sparks, CDFA, Provisors member, and Owner and Founder of Divorce Financial Strategists, has valuable insights to share regarding the divorce financial analysis process. Before starting her own practice, Karen noticed too many people questioning the choices they made during the divorce process and sought to provide a solution. The goal of her practice is to eliminate the “whys” that may follow a divorce. In particular, she highlights how working with a CDFA will help to provide education and sound strategies that will help you avoid divorce remorse. If you or someone you know is contemplating divorce or currently in the divorce process, Karen’s interview is for you. Karen outlines the full-scope of the divorce process and why starting with strategic financial planning is essential. Everyone’s situation is unique, and Karen does not take a cookie cutter approach in finding solutions that work for everyone. In a life-changing situation such as divorce, you need a grounding, neutral, expert voice to guide you through the process. Getting a handle on your finances first is essential to the rest of the process, and if you or someone you know is going through a divorce, be sure to learn from an expert like Karen. 1-Minute Sections: 7:53-8:44: Three things she prioritizes in her practice. 10:34-11:41: Importance of planning in a divorce and full-scope of divorce process. 15:33-16:33: Discusses some areas where her work intersects with other aspects of law - collaborative law.
