Don’t be sheepish about asking for expert help. Its your life. Do it now!

WHY DO YOU NEED AN FDS?

Financial Divorce Specialists are specifically trained to address the financial apects of your divorce.

Without an FDS you might not get a realistic picture of the financial impact of any proposed settlement agreement you will be asked to sign. Often, no one involved in the settlement negotiations has expertise in financial planning. Your lawyer can use precedent and guidelines to determine what the legal system is likely to allow, but lawyers are not always focused on the financial consequences of your divorce agreement.

An FDS is there to protect your interests. A Financial Divorce Specialist, like Joyce, is trained to help you understand the short and long-term financial impact of a proposed divorce settlement on your post-divorce lifestyle and monetary well-being. When you sign those final settlement documents, you will know you can live with the financial outcome.

Maintaining your lifestyle means having a financially sound exit strategy. Joyce will shepherd you through the financial planning process before, during and even after your divorce.
