Our team will help guide you in gathering the required financial documentation and information for your divorce. Once we have a big picture view of your finances, we work with you to conduct a full financial review and prepare a plan for financial division and support. This work is all based on readily available financial information.
In addition to helping you identify and weigh your options for asset and liability division, we also help you identify your income and support needs for your post-divorce life. Our team will work with you to develop your post-divorce budget.
Having a plan ahead of time and taking the time to understand it is the key to protecting your financial future.

Washington is a community property state, but commissioners may access separate property to make an equitable division in a divorce. We can help you sort your financial picture and find a fair settlement. Community property is anything you bought or earned together while you were married.

Will your house need to be refinanced? Or do you prefer to sell and share the proceeds? Our team can help you project your new financial picture into the future, to maintain security during your family’s transition.
Child support calculations need to account for your current financial situation and also allow your family to grow. It’s hard when families are trying to set up two households with the same income that supported one household before the divorce or separation. We can show you how to give your family flexibility and security.
We recognize that each divorce is different and carefully plan a custom strategy that is right for you and your situation, no matter what stage you are.
Our work together is sensitive, discreet and confidential, while we provide a customized, non-judgmental safe-haven keeping you focused and on task.
Our experience, wisdom, and compassionate leadership streamline and supports you through this painful process saving you time and money.
