FOR ATTORNEYS AND MEDIATORS
Why Attorneys & Mediators Partner with a CDFA®
A financial specialist on the team means faster settlements, cleaner analyses, and clients who understand — and stand behind — the numbers they're agreeing to.
THE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Not all assets are created equal — is your client actually walking away with what the spreadsheet says?
Can your client actually afford the house long term, or is it a slow-motion problem?
Would you stake your professional reputation on those numbers?
A Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® is the financial specialist who answers those questions — with the analysis to back them up. My role is to complement your legal work, not compete with it: the numbers, the tax picture, and the long-term sustainability check, delivered in a form your client (and their opposing counsel) can trust.
FAQ
Common questions before we talk.
-
A CDFA® pressure-tests the division of assets so what looks equal on paper is actually equitable in real life — including tax basis, liquidity, and long-term growth.
-
We model post-settlement cash flow with real tax consequences baked in, so you and your client know what the numbers actually mean going forward.
-
We stress-test proposed settlements against your client's real budget, timeline, and retirement horizon — before they're locked in.
-
Clean, organized financial exhibits and analyses that support your legal strategy and speed up negotiations.
When we work together, your clients walk into mediation with numbers they understand and a settlement they can actually live with. That's better for them, better for the case, and better for your practice.
