As an Certified Advanced Practitioner Divorce Mediator and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® I educate and guide couples through all of the necessary information and decisions required in the divorce process. I help them reach agreements on all of the court required issues that need resolution in order to finalize a divorce, such as property division, child support and maintenance (alimony). 40% of the divorce process is comprised of a financial negotiation, which is potentially the largest financial transaction couples will make in their lifetime.

Our sessions include clarifying potential post-divorce financial impact and creative options meeting your needs and enabling you to make informed financial decisions for you and your children.
