A New Beginning   WWW.WEDLOCK-DIVORCE.COM

On your own unexpectedly? Whether through death or divorce, loss is a personal journey with its own timeline. As with most of life’s big transitions, these two have many financial implications. This page is designed to guide you through some of the steps in this transition. We would be honored to serve as your financial guide sharing our expertise as you move through the phases of transition.

I’m thinking about getting a divorce . . .

I’ve walked this path – in 2006, it became clear changes were needed in my own life.

I am in the middle of my divorce . . .

In my experience and in the experience of many clients, this can be a foggy time.  There is a lot to consider, evaluate and in some cases execute decisions at a time in your life of upheaval.

I never expected to be alone at this stage of my life . . .

The year (or so) after divorce is a time many will judge and life can look very different just a few years later.  A professional financial analyst can keep the emotion out of the results for you to evaluate.

I’m divorced and beginning my new life . . .

Consider protecting and growing what you now have in settlement.

• A divorce expert can save you money
• Having a financial analyst in your corner can save a lot of time
• The divorce expert does not give you “shoulds” – we tell you “if you do this, this is the financial result” so that you can make the best decisions for yourself
• We consider financial results far out in to the future including tax consequences which can dramatically alter the value of an asset
• After the divorce is settled, we can help you keep and grow your wealth

Grieving a Spouse or other significant loss

• Knowing what you can ignore – not all decisions have to be made right now.  We work with clients to see what absolutely must be dealt with and leave the rest to a time when we are past initial grief
• Many of the steps we guide you through look like typical financial planning, the difference being the context of grief which requires special care so the timeline may be much longer
• There is a full life waiting after grief has its time – we guide you to that life on stable financial footing

There is an arc to these big transitions – and we all land back on our feet at some point in the future – everyone does.  It is our job to guide you there safely in the context of your financial concerns and considerations.
