Understanding your financial situation before, during, and after divorce is one of the most challenging and stressful parts of the separation process. In many households one spouse handles the budget, including paying the expenses and managing savings. Some couples choose for a spouse to stay home and care for children, others choose to put mortgages and car loans in one spouses name. All of these situations can result in a lack of transparency when it comes to your financial health. If you are planning to divorce it is important that you speak to a financial professional who can help you assess your finances and plan the healthiest path forward so that you can begin your next chapter with a sound financial plan.
Stampone & Associates offers a variety of packages for individuals who are planning to or are in the midst of the divorce process. With each of the package options listed below, we will dive into your financial history to reveal a clear picture of your finances. This can then be used by your attorney to determine a proper allocation of assets and expenses during negotiations.
