For Attorneys
During negotiations to end a marriage, clients are asked to make life-altering financial decisions at one of the most emotionally-wrenching times of their lives. Even a client with a high degree of financial savvy may not have a specific understanding of the financial aspects of divorce. I have the expertise to provide attorneys and their clients with the tools they need to make important financial decisions required to assess proposals and settle cases, freeing the attorney to concentrate on the legal issues. I have worked with over 40 local attorneys in over 300 cases and testified in Hamilton and Butler counties and Lexington, KY.
I provide the following services to attorneys and their clients
- Estimation of short-term after-tax cash flow to answer the questions How can I pay that amount of support? and What will I have to spend after taxes?
- Clarification of tax issues, such as exemptions, tax credits, Alternative Minimum Tax issues, capital gains and loss carry-forwards.
- Historical lifestyle analysis with detailed supporting evidence.
- Assistance in developing projected budgets.
- Long-term computer projections with specialized software to uncover potential future financial pitfalls and provide a greater peace of mind about the division and support issues.
- Expert witness testimony for lifestyle issues, tax implications of support and asset division, and projections.
- Education for the client about financial issues and empowerment to help less financially-astute clients take control of their financial lives.
