We can help our clients with ALL 6 financial solution areas OR any specific stage(s) depending on your needs and your current situation with the divorce process.

Our Unique 6- Stage  Holistic Approach:

Stage #1 - PRE DIVORCE PREPARATION

At the beginning of your divorce process, you will recognize that your financial issues you face are just as important as your  legal ones.  Usually, you should get financial advice about your situation before you enter    a lawyer’s office.

Many divorce attorneys are now encouraging their women clients to have a Certified Financial Planner (CFP)  or a Divorce Financial Advisor (DFA) professional assist the case & be on their team.  It’s definitely advantageous to hire these financial  professionals at the beginning of the divorce process.

We will educate you about  various financial considerations, & help you organize  the required financial material and documents. With our help,  you can  reduce your costs incurred during your divorce process,    and avoid future financial & tax pitfalls.

When you feel more secure, you  will make better choices about your  future, and experience less stress.

Step #2 - DISCOVER  HIDDEN ASSETS AND UNDISCLOSED  INCOME OF YOUR SPOUSE

Our women clients have discovered that  hidden and non-disclosed assets and income from spouses  are commonplace while going  through a divorce.

Finding  these hidden assets & income  during a divorce is a challenging process, but there are several investigative strategies that we use to  uncover hidden assets and undisclosed income.

A variety of personal and business strategies are used to find unreported income and any disguised asset transfer; or hiding sales; or false reporting of expenses. Also, an examination of both business and personal records will reveal unreported assets and income that are NOT required to be reported on a tax return.

Detecting concealed assets would ensure proper asset division, will dramatically  improve your lifestyle.

Our founder, Harvey Weinstein, will use his experience while he worked  at the Internal Revenue Service to do an  investigation and identify hidden assets and income  not disclosed  by your spouse during the divorce proceedings.

Step #3 - PLANNING DURING YOUR DIVORCE PROCESS

We help you navigate both the financial & tax issues — and the complexities that need to be addresses— so you can take the necessary steps toward your next chapter in life.

We work with you and your attorney – so you understand the financial effects of a settlement, including:

  • Understanding the true value of your  marital assets,
  • Understanding the tax consequences of different settlement scenarios, including  the impact of  alimony  and/or any child support,
  • Develop options to achieve an equitable settlement with your spouse,
  • Helping you know what your financial future would look like if you accept settlements “A” or “B”; and the future impact of your decisions on your  future financial stability.

Step #4 - POST-DIVORCE PLANNING OF YOUR LIFE

After your divorce is finalized, we continue  to help you with your financial needs & to build  you a new financial life. Our services are tailored to your specific needs-both short term and long term, and is designed  to take away your uncertainty.

By our creating a budget for your post- divorce,  you can plan for the unexpected, and together we will periodically review your financial situation and build an effective Financial Backup Plan.

We’ll work with you to ensure that ALL the terms of your Settlement Agreement are completed & you get the assets you are entitled to. We will reduce your fear & post-divorce pain, and we will help you feel safe.

A customized financial plan can be created for you that will help you achieve peace of mind about your future,  and comforted with the knowledge that you’ve made the best decisions for yourself and your family.

We provide support for your post-divorce transition. We’ll educate you about post- divorce complex tax implications of your Settlement terms.

Step #5 - PREPARING FOR THE ROAD AHEAD

Let us help you navigate the next chapter in your life with confidence and peace of mind. We will be  your financial partners  helping you to build a secure and fulfilling future post-divorce life,  and into retirement.

We do periodic meetings, after the divorce is completed, to verify that you are on track towards reaching your goals, and determine if any fine tuning of strategy is needed.

Through every step of the process, we use patience & understanding, and show you  clear” next steps” that will  make the process smoother for you. Then, we will help you move beyond your divorce.

Step #6 - TRANSITION PLANNING TO YOUR RETIREMENT

The Divorce Settlement Agreement is just the start of your new  financial life. Women frequently ask us: Where do we go from here? It’s one where you must plan for your future, and potentially for your children and any aging parents.

The transition period  after your divorce is often a struggle. Planning for your retirement as a single woman is challenging– from building an income stream for a longer lifespan– to budgeting for increased living expenses with rising health care costs. We will help you to demystify money management.

We’ll provide financial coaching services that will help you prepare for a financially secure retirement and achieve the kind of lifestyle you want.

During this time, financial education is paramount , as income is typically limited  & there is less time for you to replace income or assets , and create needed retirement savings. 

 Our services will include one or more areas of the following:

  • Getting You Financially Organized—Providing financial literacy for empowerment
  • Identify & Overcome Money Obstacles
  • Budgeting & Debt Management–Creating a financially sustainable future for yourself
  • Retirement Support– Create choices using your funds for retirement, & any support payments
