How A CDFA Helps
The designation of Certified Divorce Financial
Analysts™ is awarded by The Institute
for Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA) to individuals who successfully
complete the training and test requirements set by IDFA. IDFA is the premier national
organization dedicated to the certification, education and promotion of the use of
financial professionals in the divorce arena.
The financial issues inherent to every divorce case are
often times the ones that are the most overlooked. However, once a divorce settlement has
been signed, it’s too late to change it.
Who should keep the house? How much will it cost to live
post divorce? How much alimony is there going to be and for how long? Will the custody
arrangement affect child support? How can the retirement accounts be split and the money
accessed? How can a business be offset? Should a business be valued? What is the value of
health care benefits? Most important of all, will the clients be able to financially
survive (and thrive) with the settlement post divorce?
Certified Divorce Financial Analysts™ are trained to
answer these questions and more for men and women in the process of divorce and to provide
litigation support for their attorneys, which help them prove and often settle their case. |
