Options & Strategies

Steps 4-6: Michelle collaborates with your attorney to brainstorm creative strategies related to your unique goals and priorities. Some assets are better divided than others based on what you plan to use them for. Often there are tax-related strategies when dividing assets that get left behind. Michelle will bring awareness to these unique strategies. She will also review your budget for accuracy so you and your attorney are working off of accurate data.

Step 6: If a re-finance or new mortgage is needed, Michelle coordinates with a divorce mortgage specialist to lay out options you have. This is important to do pre-divorce as how you can qualify for a mortgage may impact income/assets you get/keep in divorce.

If there are complex tax issues, Michelle may coordinate with your current/new CPA pre-divorce.

If you will need to change health insurance post-divorce, Michelle will pro-actively coordinate with a health insurance broker and compare individual rate options. Knowing your premium post-divorce helps with accuracy in your budget that is used in the divorce discussions.

In the Way forward step, you will receive:

1. A FWD Roadmap –summarizing your goals, priorities, and recommended financial actions

2. FWD Executive Summary of your divorce decree – detailing who does what next

Step 8: Michelle will provide your attorney your customized FWD Executive Summary checklist to clarify what steps he/she will handle vs. Michelle vs. you. It is common that important next steps get lost in the lengthy divorce decree. This summary helps ensure everyone is on the same page and clear on what the next steps will be. Post-divorce – Months/years in the future, Michelle may need to clarify with your attorney financial matters that come up. Michelle’s continual relationship with your attorney may be very valuable for these future issues that can come up.
