What a CDFA does
The financial issues inherent to every divorce case are often times
the ones that are the most overlooked. However, once a divorce settlement has been signed,
its too late to change it.
Who should keep the house? How much will it cost to live post
divorce? How much alimony is there going to be and for how long? Will the custody
arrangement affect child support? How can the retirement accounts be split and the money
accessed? How can a business be offset? Should a business be valued? What is the value of
health care benefits? Most important of all, will the clients be able to financially
survive (and thrive) with the settlement post divorce?
Certified Divorce Financial Analysts are trained to answer
these questions and more for men and women in the process of divorce and to provide
litigation support for their attorneys, which help them prove and often settle their case.
The designation of Certified
Divorce Financial Analysts is awarded by The Institute for
Certified Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA) to individuals who successfully complete
the training and test requirements set by IDFA. IDFA is the premier national organization
dedicated to the certification, education and promotion of the use of financial
professionals in the divorce arena.
