I can be your divorce coach, consultant, mediator or expert witness.  Because of my own St. Louis County divorce, along with assisting well over 120 divorcing individuals in the St. Louis metropolitan area, I am familiar with the legal divorce system.

I continue to take educational classes in this area, including ones that Illinois and Missouri lawyers attend. Additionally, my taxation and financial continuing education classes exceed over 40 hours annually.  My experience and continuing education keeps me up to date on how the written law constantly changes in interpretation by the different county judges, and finalization of different court cases.

Examples of areas that I may assist individuals and their legal counsel include:

• Determination of actual income, especially for the self-employed

• Evaluation of what you own and what you owe, otherwise known as assets and liabilities

• Analyze court papers for financial omissions or misstatements

• Forensic accounting to uncover missing or hidden assets

• Discovering business valuation report deficiencies and suggesting adjustments
  to the fair market  business value

• Equitable distribution planning

• Tax effects of income and distribution alternatives

• Financial and tax planning for individuals, businesses, estates and trusts

• Divorce coaching to improve negotiation skills

• Creating innovative financial strategies to expedite settlement

• Expert witness service to improve your odds of winning in court

• Educate you on financial strategies to keep separate items, such as gifts, inheritances, and assets owned before marriage, from becoming marital property

Let me help you and your attorney shorten the divorce process and minimize fees and court filings. 

Being proactive can save you thousands of dollars, possibly even hundreds of thousands. 

A certified public accountant specializing in divorce can give you peace of mind because a third party professional is also on your team.
