DO CALCULATORS MAKE YOU NERVOUS?

You don't have to be a financial pro to dive into divorce finances with your clients. Let a CDFA® show you how!


Ever get questions like these from clients:

  • How do I know if I can afford to leave?
  • How will I ever support myself?
  • What if I don't know anything about money?
  • What should I ask for?
  • How will I know if it's fair?
  • Isn't hiring an attorney expensive? I don't have that kind of money.

 

Money fears are a big deal in divorce and financial decisions have long-lasting consequences. No wonder so many clients (and coaches) would prefer to leave the numbers to the pros.

Financial professionals play a vital role in divorce. Nobody wants an amateur deciphering a tax return, valuing a business, tracing complicated separate property, or calculating the present value of a pension.

But there is so much you CAN do as a divorce coach to get your clients started on the road to financial literacy and good decision making.

In this course we'll cover:

🔸    Planning for divorce costs

🔸    Gathering financial documents

🔸    Defining marital lifestyle

🔸    Estimating cash flow needs (monthly budget)

🔸    Identifying assets and debts

🔸    Proposal development

🔸    Introduction to tax implications

🔸    When to involve financial professionals


Even if you failed high school algebra or the word "budget" makes you break out in a sweat, we promise you can work through some basic divorce finances with your clients. From prioritizing their short-term and long-term needs to assessing when (and how) to effectively engage financial professionals

This financial foundations course at Divorce Coaches Academy® is the first of its kind, specifically designed for the professional, practicing Divorce Coach in their role as an alternative dispute resolution specialist.
