Divorce Financial Planning Los Angeles
Divorce Financial PLANNING LOS ANGELES
Wondering how expensive is your Los Angeles divorce going to be? Let's find out!
Divorce can be an emotionally charged life event, and your attorney may not be equipped to uncover details about your current & future financial situation the way a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst can. That is why the divorce financial planning & analysis can make a big difference in the outcome.
We understand that taking control and ownership of your life and making financially smart decisions when it comes to initiating a divorce can be overwhelming.
When you lead with financial analysis in your hand, your relationships & post-divorce Los Angeles lifestyle don’t have to take a hit.
Divorce Analytics replaces fears of divorce with facts, allowing you to clearly envision how your post-divorce life will look like and empowering you to make data-driven decisions.
It is our goal to create win-win solutions that both parties can agree on which preserves resources otherwise spent on legal battles. We achieve that by providing objective financial facts that untangle joint finances and clearly outline what happens to the marital home and other property, spousal and child support, debt management, investment dividends, and other key factors.
This service is perfect for you if:
- You’re wondering whether you’ll be able to maintain the same standard of living post-divorce
- You’re experiencing conflicting emotions and need objective support to be able to focus on the facts
- You feel confused about how to advocate for your family’s financial future in settlement sessions, and your attorney can’t answer your financial questions
- You want to get as much clarity about your current and future financial situation as possible to make informed decisions every step of the way

Our approach
What happens when we partner with you
Uncovering the real cost of your divorce
The most complicated part of the divorce process is the finances, which is why divorce financial planning is crucial in maintaining your wealth & post-divorce lifestyle.
We bring a family's financial reality into sharp focus by itemizing marital and separate assets, taxes, debt, household expenses, and individual contributions. This data forms the foundation of our post-divorce lifestyle analysis report and informs the negotiation strategy.
Formulating a settlement negotiation strategy
With the numbers crunched, the settlement terms become clear for financial and non-financial issues. At this stage, we also create a customized Divorce Impact Analysis Report to compare different settlement options.
Our goal in this stage is to push for a faster resolution or draft a more equitable settlement proposal and reduce the animosity between the two parties. If relevant, we provide relevant guidance and education to bring our clients up to speed with their financial education.
Collaborating with your legal team
If your Los Angeles divorce is at the litigation stage, it's crucial for the attorney and the divorce finance strategist must be on the same page.
We provide attorneys with high-level and detailed financial truths to come up with the most persuasive arguments to honor that truth and advocate for our clients’ rights. Having the financial facts enhances the quality of counsel our clients receive before a litigated negotiation.
White glove negotiation support
Negotiation sessions are dynamic, and the offer on the table may change during the discussion. While our clients are more confident after partnering with us, there may be curve balls they’re not equipped to handle.
To empower them to make informed decisions at every step, we show up as expert sounding boards and provide real-time analysis in settlement sessions.
