What is a Divorce Financial Neutral?

One of the biggest concerns when you’re going through a divorce is wondering what’s going to happen with your finances. That’s why you need a Financial Neutral. A divorce neutral is an impartial expert who discovers all the assets, debt, sources of income, and expenses, and then helps to create options for the equitably division of the assets and debts.

A divorce neutral can also help calculate child support, alimony, and other complicated divisions, such as pension plans and employer sponsored retirement plans.

The top three reasons you need a financial neutral are to help you to

• Gather and document your financial information and prepare the marital balance sheet.
• Provide you with clarity and a path forward.
• Follow up with an attorney to help take it to the final step.

Divorce isn’t just a 50-50 division of everything. Listen in to learn what your financial options are.
