Financial Affidavit Preparation

An essential step in your divorce is to provide a financial statement. This statement lists all of your income, assets, and debts comprehensively. Depending on the type of divorce you will be going through, this affidavit could be the most critical document in your divorce. If you feel overwhelmed or unsure how to complete your financial statement, we can help you collect the data needed from your marital assets and complete the forms. 

Pension Valuation & Executive Compensation Valuation (Stock Options And RSUs)

Determine a pension’s present value and marital portion (if applicable) through a detailed pension valuation and report.

If stock options, restricted stock units, or other executive compensation are involved in a divorce, our analysts can help determine values, effects from taxation, and how to negotiate the split of these assets. 

Financial Forensics

 Asset Tracing & Dissipation

Divorce is not only an emotional process but also a financial one. In many cases, financial issues can complicate proceedings, especially when there are suspicions of hidden assets, undisclosed income, or unusual financial behavior. 

Our analysis can also help in cases where marital assets were used (to the benefit of one spouse) for things like affairs, excessive spending, gambling, or loaning large amounts of money; this is considered a dissipation of marital assets.

Separate Property Tracing

Separate property tracing is needed when assets may have been established before the marriage or inherited during the marriage. Our divorce services include: analyzing asset statements, documenting, and valuing property ownership for divorce.

Lifestyle Analysis

The lifestyle analysis is a process of calculating and analyzing the income and expenses of the marriage. This analysis is typically used by both parties to determine the standard of living, which can be used to influence support calculations and possibly property division. 

Marital Settlement Agreements

Many of the mistakes we see in divorce are in the wording of the settlement agreement. Before you agree to a marital separation agreement, you should understand how the divorce financial settlement impacts your life after the divorce.  This includes taxes and your individual needs post-divorce.

Maintenance Buy-Out Calculations

In certain circumstances, alimony buyouts can be a way to negotiate a lump sum amount upfront to be paid instead of payments over time. Our comprehensive divorce financial services package can assist in determining if this makes sense in the divorce.

Expert Testimony

When financial clarity matters most, our expert divorce financial analysis and testimony can make the difference. We provide clear, court-ready insights on complex financial matters, from asset valuation to (Q)DRO analysis and forensic financial investigations. Whether you’re navigating property division, retirement accounts, or uncovering hidden assets, our expertise ensures you have the facts to support your case. Trusted by attorneys and individuals alike, we translate financial data into compelling, easy-to-understand testimony that strengthens your position and protects your future.

Credit And Future Spending Analysis

 During a divorce, you may need to close financial accounts to sever economic ties with your spouse. Your income and expenses will likely change as well. Whether you purchase a plan for our divorce financial services or just want us to review your credit and analyze your post-marital cash flow, understanding your future spending power and credibility is essential.

(Q)DROs

Our divorce financial services include QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Orders) plan research, drafting the proposed QDRO, getting plan approvals, and drafting final orders.

Retirement accounts are typically one of the largest assets being negotiated in a divorce. Do not make a costly mistake in your divorce. Before you finalize your divorce, you should have the language in your agreement reviewed before a domestic relations order is submitted to the plan.

Budget And Cash Flow Analysis

The biggest concern with divorce is money. Your financial situation will dictate what you can afford, the lifestyle you can have, and the ability to achieve your goals; through this analysis, a lot of the anxiety you may experience during a divorce could be diminished. Creating a budget and cash flow analysis is like a financial x-ray.
