Financial Support for Every Stage of Divorce
Divorce involves more than dividing assets. It can mean organizing years of financial information, understanding unfamiliar accounts, preparing for legal meetings, evaluating options, and figuring out what life may look like afterward.
Next Chapter Strategies helps you work through the financial side of the process with practical guidance, analysis, organization, and accountability.
How I Can Support You
Support is tailored to where you are in the divorce process and what you need help accomplishing.
Get Financially Organized
Identify and organize accounts, assets, debts, income, expenses, insurance, tax information, and other financial documents so you can see the complete picture.
Understand Your Financial Options
Work through budgets, cash flow, housing considerations, retirement assets, settlement alternatives, and the potential financial impact of different choices.
Prepare for Attorney & Mediation Meetings
Organize information, identify questions and priorities, and prepare for conversations so you can make productive use of time with your attorney, mediator, or other professionals.
Stay on Track
Break the financial work into manageable steps, establish priorities, and get the accountability needed to keep moving when the process becomes overwhelming.
What Working Together Looks Like
-1-
Start Where You Are
We identify what is happening now, what information you already have, what is missing, and which financial issues need attention first.
-2-
Build Clarity
We organize the information, work through questions and financial considerations, and identify the next decisions or actions that need to occur.
-3-
Keep Moving Forward
Between meetings, you'll have clear next steps and accountability so financial tasks don't become another source of delay or overwhelm.
The Questions Don't Always Fit Neatly Into a Legal Meeting
Clients often know they need to make a financial decision but aren't sure how to evaluate it or what questions to ask. We can work through issues such as:
— What does my current household actually cost?
— What might my post-divorce budget look like?
— Can I realistically afford to keep the house?
— What financial documents should I be gathering?
— What accounts and assets do I need to understand?
— What should I prepare before meeting with my attorney?
— How do different settlement options potentially affect my future?
— What should I understand about retirement assets?
— What information am I still missing?
— How do I organize everything my attorney has requested?
— What financial questions should I be asking?
— What do I need to do next?
When the Financial Picture Is More Complex
Some divorces require deeper financial analysis. Next Chapter Strategies can provide additional support when the financial picture includes complex assets, business or income questions, extensive financial records, or financial issues requiring more detailed analysis.
Forensic & Complex Financial Analysis
More detailed review and analysis of financial information when the circumstances require work beyond traditional coaching and organization.
Mediation & Litigation Support
Financial preparation and analysis to support clients and their professional teams during mediation or litigation..
