Fee-only financial advisors for divorce — CDFA-trained, no commission conflict.
Divorce is one of the largest single-event wealth disruptions most people experience. Asset division decisions (which retirement account to take, keep/sell the house, QDRO mechanics, alimony tax treatment post-TCJA) are often irreversible and have long tax tails. A CDFA-credentialed fee-only advisor models the decisions a divorce attorney isn't tra
Situations we handle
- Should I take the 401(k) or the house in the divorce?
- How do QDROs actually work — and what happens if my ex is the plan participant?
- Post-TCJA alimony tax treatment for post-2019 divorces — who bears the tax?
- Social Security ex-spouse benefits — when do I qualify?
- My ex owned a business — how is it valued for equitable distribution?
- I'm going from joint to single-filer tax brackets — what's the real hit?
Why a specialist. A regular financial advisor doesn't model QDROs, post-TCJA alimony tax treatment, or ex-spouse Social Security benefits. Divorce attorneys handle the legal process but rarely model the 20-year financial consequences of asset-division choices. A CDFA-credentialed fee-only advisor fills the gap and has no incentive to push product — a critical difference when you're vulnerable.
