Protect Your Financial Future.

Protect Your Financial Future.

 A fair financial settlement will help both of you move forward after a divorce. We can help you calculate the percentage of assets each of you
will take from the marriage and understand your financial options.

Your community property is anything you bought or earned together while you were married. This includes your home, your salaries (even if you kept your money separate), your retirement accounts, and any stock plans or other benefits from your employer.

If you have questions, we have worked with employer benefits from Seattle's large employers, including Microsoft, Amazon, Vulcan, and other tech companies. Your RSU accounts may seem complicated, but there are simple formulas you can use to find a fair split as you divorce.

Call us for a free consult to see if we can help you find a division that's reasonable and makes sense to both of you.

Financial asset/debt division

Refinancing a home without paying extra fees, filing your taxes, adjusting child support, and other financial considerations can feel overwhelming when you begin your divorce. Our team has the experience to help you weigh your options and move forward with confidence. 

We take the information you collect from your expert advisor and put it into a contract that can help you both feel safe, secure, and ready for the future. Your contract is customizable. if you have children, you can add language to your contract that will help you both adjust if one party loses a job or experiences any other big life change that would affect both your finances. If you're nearing retirement, you can add language that will allow you to adjust your finances to save money now and in the future. You can add schedules or create "if/then" scenarios to cover all the things you don't know. 

Community property

Washington is a community property state, but commissioners may access separate property to make an equitable division in a divorce. We can help you sort your financial picture and find a fair settlement. Do you want to refinance your house? Sell and share the proceeds? We can help you project your new financial picture into the future, so that you will feel secure during your family's transition.

Child support

Child support calculations for your court forms need to account for your current financial situation, and also allow your family to grow. We can show you how to give yourself the most flexibility and security.
