Welcome to Divorce Financial Strategy

We Help You Achieve Peace of Mind During Your Divorce

Divorce Financial Strategy is a professional divorce financial planning services firm based in Ithaca, New York that focuses exclusively on providing divorcing clients (and their attorneys) the financial expertise to support an informed, realistic and viable divorce settlement.  Services include both pre- and post-divorce financial planning services.

Sherry Auble is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ (CDFA™) specially trained and certified by the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts™ (IDFA™) to analyze and evaluate divorce settlements including the tax implications of dividing property and options for dividing pensions/401k plans, marital property, and awarding of child support and spousal support (alimony).  We are qualified to serve as a financial expert on divorce cases and can present powerful analysis and data to back up any disagreements.  Our purpose is to help educate clients on the financial implications of different divorce settlement proposals that will help them make the best possible decision during the divorce negotiations.

Divorce statistics indicate that divorce happens to approximately 2.2 million people each year and 100% of divorces involve financial settlements.  The realities of divorce can be overwhelming.  With over 50% of first marriage and 70% of second marriages ending, it is clear that people need professional financial advice and guidance when making the decision to dissolve their marriage.  The CDFA™ is a comprehensive divorce planning designation that includes training in:

Personal versus marital property

Valuing and dividing property

Retirement plans, pension plans and QDROs

Splitting the house

Tax problems and solutions

Providing litigation support to attorneys

During this difficult time financial issues are combined with emotions and the results can be devastating. Decisions made today can seriously impact your life going forward. At Divorce Financial Strategy, we can provide the information and financial settlement analysis to enable you to plan and secure an equitable and practical settlement that works after the divorce.

Although a proposed settlement may look equal today, it may look very different five or ten years from now once factors like inflation, capital growth, and deferred taxes are taken into consideration. We take an analytical approach and provide powerful charts and spreadsheets using the IDFA™ proprietary Divorce Settlement Analyst software and Family Law Software. Utilizing the software, we are able to resolve actual cases that focus on the key financial issues of most divorces.  The software produces reports and graphs that depict the financial status, cash flow, and graphic net worth of both the husband and wife as compared to each other.  This can optimize the eventual outcome by minimizing taxes, avoiding costly mistakes and providing you and your attorney with the information to make more informed decisions.
