Divorce & Transition Planning

No matter who you are or what your specific situation may be, divorce is never a fun or easy process. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®), Ashley Brown specializes in all three phases of the divorce process: pre-divorce, planning during divorce, and post-divorce. She works with you and your attorney for the best possible outcome.

Pre-Divorce Process

Before a divorce is finalized - or even known by both parties - it is important to have a plan in place for what post-divorce life could look like. This preparation not only helps financially and logistically, but it will also help to bring some peace of mind during an otherwise extremely stressful situation. It is also important to identify any challenges you foresee occurring beforehand, so it's easier and quicker to react in real time.

Some questions to keep in mind pre-divorce include:

   - Do you want to keep the home, or purchase a new home?
   - Do you have ample savings to be financially independent?
   - Where will the kids live?
   - Are there any tax implications I need to be aware of?

Every client's situation is unique in its own way, but it's important to begin the conversation before anything ever happens. As a CDFA, Ashley will help walk you through some of those bigger question marks, as well as use her expertise to assist you as well as your attorney to make the best financial decisions today that will benefit you for the future.

Planning Throughout Divorce

Once divorce is on the table, it's important to have someone by your side who knows the ins and outs of various tax implications, can collaborate effectively with attorneys, and keeps the bigger financial picture in mind when it may be tempting to remain caught up in the present

Ashley is an expert at analyzing your current financial situation and determining what the best outcome for you will be. Taking a long-term approach to divorce settlement will ensure that the best outcome for you is always the priority.

Post-Divorce Planning

The question still remains: What happens next? The beauty of being a CDFA and CFP means that Ashley's job doesn't end when the divorce is finalized. While an attorney or CPA may see the finish line in site, Ashley's work is just beginning. She will continue to work with you in the weeks and years to come, guiding you through the ongoing financial planning process and providing peace of mind long after the divorce is settled.



Whether your attorney recommended Ashley or you recognize the value of working with a CDFA throughout the divorce process, don't hesitate to leave your name and number to schedule a meeting with her and discover the value that she will bring to your divorce team.
