Our Services
A fee-only process that does not involve investment advice or securities or insurance transactions. We show you, “in black and white,” the impact your decisions can have on your financial future and make sure that your settlement is “tax proof.
We will take you from concerns and goals to the finished Agreement without the acrimony and high legal costs prevalent in litigation.
Maybe you need more than Mediation. Having a Collaborative Team not only promotes settlement, but provides a foundation for co-parenting and sharing post-divorce events.
Is spouse dishonesty around finances an issue? We can perform a lifestyle spending analysis, pre-marital asset valuation, or other analytical tests to look for hidden income or assets, and support our findings in Court.
Sometimes couples can work it out by themselves without help. Our fixed fee programs are designed to help you get started or work with other mediators.
Our Approach
The cost of divorce is soaring in Maryland. In litigated cases, the minimum cost for legal fees can be $25,000 or more, per spouse. We believe that in most divorce cases, where finances are a major issue, the addition of a Divorce Financial Planner can be an invaluable tool.
We also recognize that it is financially difficult for many individuals or couples to add another layer of professionals to their process. This is why we have created our Fixed-fee alternative programs. If neither program suits your needs, contact us for a 10-minute free consult. We may be able to build a program especially for your needs.
