Why Attorneys & Mediators Partner with a CDFA®
Not all assets are created equal — which "half" of the marital estate your client walks away with can shape their finances for years to come.
Can your client actually afford the house, the payments, and the tax bill that come with the assets they're being awarded? Is the settlement you're recommending sustainable five years from now, or just for today?
Would you stake your professional reputation on those numbers?
As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®), I work alongside attorneys and mediators to pressure-test settlements before they're signed — so you can advise your clients with confidence, not just optimism.
What a CDFA® brings to your case
-
A side-by-side comparison of settlement scenarios, so it's clear which option actually serves your client's long-term interests — not just an even split on paper.
-
Reports that show what a settlement really costs (or nets) your client after taxes, so there are no surprises down the road.
-
An honest read on whether your client can afford to keep the house, cover support payments, or maintain their lifestyle post-divorce.
-
Clear, defensible reports you can bring into negotiations, mediation, or court.
When the numbers are this important, it helps to have someone in your corner who speaks both finance and family law. Let's talk about how a CDFA partnership can strengthen your next case.
