Divorce Planning

Gary L Wulf, CIMA®, CDFA®  https://advisor.morganstanley.com/gary.wulf

The dissolution of a marriage is a tumultuous time. Making complex decisions that will determine your financial security now and for the rest of your life is never easy.
    Making those decisions when stress and emotions are at their highest is especially difficult. As a Financial Advisor whose practice is centered on advising clients before, during, or post-divorce, I can help you to navigate the financial aspects of divorce so you can move forward with confidence.
   Finances are a major part of the divorce process. 

• Make informed decisions relative to your divorce settlement
• Put aside funds for a rainy day
• Set up a budget designed to cover your expenses
• Plan for a successful retirement by developing a plan designed to help meet your retirement income needs.
• Provide greater confidence that comes from understanding your financial picture

Divorce Mediation / Divorce Financial Advisor

Denise French 

 At Divorce Strategies Group (DSG) our mediation process combines the expertise of an experienced Family Law Attorney-Mediator and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and Mediator working together to help you achieve a settlement encompassing resolution with both your children’s issues and your finances. The primary goal of mediation is to secure favorable outcomes where the parties settle their differences outside of the courtroom by their own final choice, privately and confidentially.
