NAVIGATING THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF DIVORCE
WITH CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst^®, Amber provides financial guidance in the divorce process to one or both spouses. Ideally, she likes to get involved early on. This is because she has found that the biggest practical obstacle most people have around initiating a divorce is not knowing beforehand whether they can emerge financially independent so that they can confidently get on with their lives.

“That’s where I add the most value. I help divorcing clients to inventory their finances and sources of income. When we can get accurate data, I can then give some clarity to one or both spouses on what their financial picture might look like post-divorce, and if it aligns with their priorities for their new life. Even very affluent families are unclear about how their resources will “translate” into their desired lifestyle once the divorce is final. I love seeing them understand how they can be okay and know more of the big picture of what life looks like on their own.”

Amber helps her clients come up with ideas they can take to an attorney or mediator to craft an equitable distribution, taking the marital assets and splitting them in a logical, tax-efficient way based on each spouses’ respective post-marital priorities, not necessarily just down the middle. “Anyone can split every asset equally, but that’s usually not an optimal outcome for either party.”

WORKING WITH DIVORCE PROFESSIONALS

Amber also provides support to attorneys and mediators who have been engaged by one or both parties to facilitate information gathering.
