Going through a divorce is overwhelming, difficult, and lonely - and that’s before you even start talking about dividing assets! In this episode, I talk about how a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® - or CDFA® for short - is an important person to have on your divorce team so you can make informed and strategic decisions about your financial future during your divorce. I share what a CDFA® actually does, my unique approach in working with my clients, and red flags to look for when choosing a CDFA®.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
A CDFA® should only work with you for the duration of your separation and divorce proceedings. Be wary of any CDFA® who’s also trying to sell you insurance or financial products, or who wants to manage your wealth after your divorce.
You cannot afford to go through the divorce process without a CDFA®. While working with one is an investment, it’s one that will give you a huge return, both financially and mentally.
I’m very passionate about education during your divorce. It can be such an overwhelming process, which is why I take the time to explain every step with my clients so they can make the best, most informed decision possible.
