Applied Divorce Solutions Helps Clients Grasp
What the Numbers Really Mean

Time Changes Things

For a simple but telling example of what can happen if you don't fully understand some fundamentals of financial planning click here.

All too often, no one involved in settlement negotiations has specialized training in financial planning. Clients do not always get a complete picture of the fundamentals underlying the settlement they will be asked to sign.

Applied Divorce Solutions excels in helping everyone involved get a better handle on the money issues. Using proprietary software and graphic models, the professionals at Applied Divorce Solutions give both partners a clearer view of their long-term financial futures after divorce.

Where disagreement over money occurs, the graphic depictions of expected outcomes can be very powerful in helping parties reach settlements that fully address the financial needs and capabilities of each.

Applied Divorce Solutions provides clear, concise information on the financial issues that come up in divorce, including tax consequences, dividing pension plans, continuing health coverage, stock option elections, and much more. Good information helps alleviate the fears and misunderstandings that often accompany divorce negotiations.

Using the Applied Divorce Solutions approach, even clients with no financial background can grasp the big-picture impact of the financial decisions they will make in divorce. In some cases, Applied Divorce Solutions is called on by one of the parties to provide expert testimony.

Applied Divorce Solutions is also available to help divorce counselors, mediators, and attorneys whose clients have problems that require professional financial planning to resolve.
