Financial Planning During Divorce - FAQs

What is financial planning during a divorce?

Financial planning during divorce helps you understand how asset division, support obligations, and taxes affect your long-term goals. Savant helps you model different scenarios and evaluate trade-offs so you can make informed decisions.

How can I protect my retirement assets?

What should I look for in a financial advisor during a divorce?

Look for financial advisors who act as a fiduciary and do not receive compensation through commissions, so their guidance aligns with your best interests. Ideally, they should coordinate closely with your attorney and other advisors to help ensure your financial decisions support both your short- and long-term goals. Savant’s team includes CPAs, estate planning attorneys, and credentialed advisors to help guide you through the process.
