Summary
There are many ways to maximize the financial opportunities provided by law in preparing for and structuring your marital settlement agreement. This, combined with knowing exactly how your financial outcomes will play out in one scenario compared to another, saves time and money both "pre-", "during", and "post" a divorce action, whether you are working with a litigator, mediator, Collaborative process or doing it yourselves. Certain highly emotional discussions are circumvented, when you have all the facts at your fingertips. Knowing ahead of time exactly what you are agreeing to in your marital settlement agreement, also puts your mind at ease about whether the money will last and knowing exactly how the settlement will impact your lifestyle - both now and in years to come.
While divorce is not a pleasant situation to begin with, and often one in which we feel very little control, many have found that by using a CDFA™ and realizing significant cost savings, they gain comfort from knowing they made the most informed decisions possible and will skip the part about later regrets.
