In your divorce process, what was the best aspect of using a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst?
I obtained my divorce in California three days before 9/11. I paid my attorney to handle my divorce so I could start my life all over again. The only thing I asked from the judge was my maiden name back.
And, I've been doing just fine ever since.
I have to confess there was no such person within my reach at the time of divorce. I'm talking about the conditions for divorce in Ireland. It was just a case of the lawyer making out a quick budget and offering it to the other side.
The final result was not satisfactory and how I wish I'd had an expert to help out with the arrangement. As a a result of poor judgement by both myself and the lawyer, I haven't faired well since, though I can't blame the lawyer for that. Little or no provision was made for future needs etc.,and this is showing now as we are talking about 10 years on.
An analyst...I like the word.
Arlene and cshpublish - you both hit on both ends of the spectrum with the financial aspects of a completed divorce. Most folks don't know that CDFA's exist, which begs the question - are they a "best kept secret" in the divorce process or a bad idea? So, looking for real experiences that may shed some light on the topic and perhaps help avoid cshpublish's experience.

To achieve the best possible outcome, approach the financial aspects of your divorce as dispassionately as possible. When you’re emotionally exhausted, you might be inclined to make compromises that aren’t in your best interest. But, remember: In divorce, there are no do-overs, and you could be stuck with the consequences of a bad decision.
Instead, set your emotions aside, and keep your eyes on what really matters: a secure financial future.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
