Financially Smart Divorce

Unconventional Wisdom

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.
