Why Choose Divorce Financial Planning?
Traditional financial planners will step in after divorce, taking a look at your then current situation and help you make adjustments. But a Divorce Financial Planner is qualified to guide you through every step of your divorce from beginning to end to make sure you are getting the best financial advice at every step of the way.
Should My Attorney Handle The Finances?
Unfortunately, not always. Attorneys are trained in all aspects of divorce but too often there are so many complicated financial decisions that even attorneys will turn to a Divorce Financial Specialist to help their clients. You want your attorney to worry about making sure what you are supposed to get, you get. So it would be wise to take the burden off the attorney to also help you plan for financial stability during all aspects of your divorce.
What About QDROs?
Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) are a critical piece of any divorce settlement. Making sure that retirement assets are allocated properly to you from your spouse will give you financial peace of mind in the future. In fact, a good QDRO will help you avoid severe tax burden in the short term while also clearly defining your future benefits.
