In divorce mediation, the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) performs a thorough financial assessment. This process involves meticulously analyzing various financial elements, including assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Divorcing couples receive a clear understanding of their current financial situation after the CDFA analyzes these components.

The insights gained from this financial assessment can become the cornerstone of collaborative financial planning during divorce negotiations. The complexity of dividing assets and liabilities can be simplified when couples have a clear understanding of their financial landscape. This proactive approach not only streamlines the negotiation process but also ensures that the resulting financial agreements align with the unique circumstances and goals of the individuals involved. Ultimately, the CDFA's financial assessment and planning empower divorcing couples to make well-informed decisions that pave the way for a more stable and sustainable post-divorce financial future.
