Fees, Logistics, and Expectations

What deliverables will I actually receive?

Most clients receive practical outputs such as:

Asset & liability inventory with ownership notes
Scenario-based settlement comparisons (after-tax and cash-flow focused)
A post-divorce cash-flow and liquidity plan (often 12–24 months)
Implementation checklist (retirement division steps, account changes, insurance/beneficiary updates)


How do you charge for services?

Most clients engage us on an hourly basis or via a defined scope of work (for example: document organization + settlement modeling + implementation plan). After an initial call, we will recommend the most efficient structure for your needs.

What should I bring to the first meeting?

If you have them, bring:

Most recent tax return(s)
Recent paystubs and/or business financials
Bank/investment/retirement statements
Mortgage statement and property tax/insurance
Any proposed settlement terms, mediation summaries, or draft agreements
Equity compensation statements and/or plan summaries (if applicable)
Business financials and entity documents (if applicable)


How do you help me avoid “expensive surprises” after the agreement is signed?

We focus on items that commonly create post-divorce financial pain:

Taxes triggered by asset sales or distributions
Underestimated carrying costs for homes and private assets
Poorly planned liquidity for obligations (taxes, tuition, capital calls)
Operational gaps (beneficiaries, insurance, account titling, plan administration steps)


What can I expect after we start?

You will get a clear process and tangible outputs—organized financial information, scenario comparisons, and an implementation roadmap—so you can move forward with confidence rather than guesswork.
