It depends on your situation. Some clients benefit from guidance through all 5 stages for comprehensive support from start to finish, while others have specific needs within our framework. We show all 5 to demonstrate our comprehensive capabilities and work with you to determine the right level of support—whether that's complete guidance or focus on specific areas like pre-divorce planning, settlement analysis, or post-divorce financial planning.
We work as efficiently as possible once we have the necessary financial data. Most delays come from the divorce process itself rather than our analysis work. We adapt to your timeline and can work on multiple stages simultaneously when appropriate.
We can work with you in coordination with your attorney or independently, depending on your situation. Our approach is designed to complement your legal team's efforts, providing specialized financial expertise that enhances your case rather than creating overlapping work.
We typically work on an hourly basis for most stages, with some specialized services (like QDRO preparation) offered at flat fees. This approach ensures you only pay for the specific guidance you actually need.
