Money is a loaded topic which permeates all areas of our lives. Disagreements about money are some of the top reasons which cause couples to call it quits. Other times couples don’t disagree, but there may be an imbalance when it comes to money because the non-CFO spouse (the one who doesn’t handle the finances) needs the reassurance that an outside expert is evaluating the financial settlement for fairness so that you are able to advocate for yourself in whatever divorce method you choose:

​

• Self-Negotiation (One or both spouses hire a financial advocate or neutral.)

• Mediation (One or both spouses hire a financial advocate or neutral.)

• Advocacy (One or both spouses hire their own attorneys who communicate to each other on behalf of their clients. Plus one or both spouses may hire a financial advocate.)
