The moves you make today can have a lasting impact for years to come, which is why it’s so important to get it right before moving ahead. This guide, prepared by women who have been through it all, can help you approach your divorce like a CFO, with the goal of helping to protect your bottom line and building financial independence.  

This guide can help you: 

A Woman's Financial Guide to Divorce-To-Do List

  • Decide who will be in your corner, including considering a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, to help you reduce the likelihood of costly mistakes and model settlement scenarios for now and years ahead. 
  • Calculate your combined net worth using a step-by-step worksheet, so you can take inventory of everything you own and owe before you begin strategizing a settlement. 
  • Figure out your number, the true cost of living your life, so you can build a settlement strategy grounded in reality, not guesswork. 
  • Protect your credit by learning the steps to establish your own credit history before your divorce is finalized. 
  • Move forward one to-do at a time, with a practical framework designed to replace overwhelm with clarity and momentum. 

This guide is designed for women who may feel like their spouse has held the financial keys throughout the marriage, or who are simply feeling stuck and unsure where to start.

Whether you’re just beginning to consider divorce or already navigating a settlement, it’s time to move from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat of your financial life. 

We typically work with clients who have $750,000 or more in investable assets, but we also consider working with those expecting future financial growth through career success, inheritance, or other significant milestones.
