5 Reasons to Hire a CDFA for Your Divorce Process
1) Engaging a CDFA™ early in the divorce process can SAVE TIME.
The business environment is as competitive as ever. Entrepreneurs now have to compete against challengers from all over the world. It is no longer possible to establish a clientele and relax. Only those businesses that remain innovative, efficient and relevant will survive in the 21st century and beyond. We at Reliance Financial Services can help small to mid-sized business owners make the most of their available resources.
2) A CDFA™ can help you SAVE MONEY during the divorce process.
TBy using a CDFA™, you will have a clear view of your financial future. Only then can you approach a divorce settlement that fully addresses your financial needs, goals and interests. Throughout our divorce financial planning process you gain a clear understanding of how your divorce settlement is directly linked to your future financial plan.
A divorce settlement that floats back and forth between attorneys, without you having a clear understanding of all your financial options and associated ramifications, can be financially detrimental, time consuming and expensive. A CDFA™ can save you money. Your family law attorney is experienced in divorce law matters and your CDFA™ is expierenced in divorce financial and tax matters. Your CDFA™ will work alongside you to make complex financial concepts easy to understand. This will allow you to feel confident in evaluating the different divorce settlement options and their impact on your future finances.
3) A CDFA™ can help you AVOID PITFALLS related to your divorce agreements.
Working with a client and their attorney, a CDFA™ can forecast the long-term effects of the divorce settlement. This includes details of all tax liabilities and benefits. Developing a long-term forecast for their financial situation is far better than a short-term snapshot. Financial decisions must be made that take care of your family’s immediate needs, as well as those 30 years down the road.
4)A CDFA™ helps clients develop post-divorce budgets to AVOID FINANCIAL STRUGGLES.
A CDFA™ can help clients think through what the divorce will really cost in the long run and develop a realistic monthly budget during the divorce financial planning process. Expenses such as life insurance, health insurance and cost of living increases must be taken into consideration when making your final divorce agreements.
5)Using a CDFA™ REDUCES STRESS AND UNCERTAINTY about the divorce process.
Misinformation and misconceptions about the divorce process can be detrimental. Many spouses have misconceptions about their divorce settlement and the ability to continue their current lifestyle. Divorce financial planning reduces the stress and uncertainty surrounding your future finances. Proper planning helps to ensure a good, stable economic future and prevents long-term regrets surrounding financial decisions made during the divorce process.
