Financial Future
90% of the divorce process is the financial settlement, which is why the division of your marital assets should be handled by a divorce financial expert NOT your family law attorney.

Preserve Your Financial Future
The financial implications of divorce are complex, subjective and mired in uncertainty, leaving room for plenty of mistakes, stress and anxiety. Divorce actions, usually dealt with in a poor emotional state, can cost you healthy family relationships, loss of assets and money needed to start your new life. In addition to unnecessary legal fees, one mistake can also lead to a big tax bill. All these factors lead to an uncertain future.

FDD was worth every penny for expertise and time savings alone. The money I saved in my divorce (that I attribute to Paula's experience, knowledge & skill set) was exponentially more than the investment I made in hiring her. In my view, hiring FDD was significantly more important than choosing a lawyer.
I retained Paula to perform a forensic study of my family’s expenses. Her thorough work and inquiries stopped my former spouse from continuing litigation and arguing. This expedited my divorce process and helped me secure a fair settlement.
