What is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst?

A Certified Divorce Financial Analyst has received specialized training in the issues of divorce and is trained to help people with the financial aspects of divorce including income, expenses, assets, tax issues, pensions, and division of property. CDFAs educate clients on the financial details and ramifications of divorce and empower them to make educated decisions about their future. The goal is to arrive at an equitable settlement that meets the personal needs of the family.

With detailed spreadsheets and graphs, CDFAs look at cash flow and net worth projections of different settlement proposals. A CDFA can forecast the short and long-term effects of different scenarios and address the financial needs and capabilities of both parties. Once the settlement agreement has been signed, it can't be changed and by providing the financial expertise in the pre-settlement phase, CDFAs are often able to save time and money by providing a clear view of the financial future for both parties.
