Generally, in marriage, a couple works together to build a life and future. A large part of this is financial. Bank accounts, retirement accounts, real estate and many other types of financial instruments become the basis of this plan. When a split happens, the divorcing couple needs to divide the marital assets fairly and efficiently to get the best chance at a new start. This process, however, must be approached with caution as mistakes can be costly. It is essential for divorcing couples to deliberately plan for the split and involve a financial professional who is trained and experienced in the unique challenges that come with untangling the finances.

Join us for a conversation with Jim Johnson - CFP®,CDFA®,ChFC®,CLU,AEP to explore what a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst does and why they are so important.

Often times, people considering divorce fail to take their specific needs and objectives into account during the selection process in favor of a referral from a family member, friend or colleague that fails to take their specific situation into account. Additionally, they homogenize the skills and capabilities of prospective attorneys during the shopping process. In the end, this introduces the potential for mismatch into their divorce which can add cost and inefficiency.

Join us for a discussion with Jason Sposeep, Partner at Schiller, DuCanto and Fleck and Collaborative Law Fellow, as we explore the basic considerations for choosing a divorce attorney.
