Divorce is more than just a legal separation—it’s also a major financial turning point. As you untangle years of shared income, assets, and debts, the decisions you make today will impact your financial well-being for years to come. That’s where a CDFA®—Certified Divorce Financial Analyst—comes in.
At Divorce Smart, we understand how overwhelming this process can feel. That’s why we combine divorce mediation with professional financial guidance to help you make smart, informed decisions during this critical time.
A Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) is a financial professional trained specifically in the financial aspects of divorce. CDFAs receive specialized training in areas like:
Think of a CDFA as your personal guide through the financial fog of divorce. They work alongside mediators, attorneys, and clients to ensure that the financial settlement is fair, realistic, and forward-looking.
If you’re going through a divorce in Minnesota—or even just considering it—a CDFA® can help you:
Some assets look equal on paper but have very different long-term consequences. A CDFA® helps you avoid costly mistakes and anticipate future needs.
Dividing retirement accounts, managing shared debts, and deciding whether to keep the family home are huge decisions. A CDFA® provides clarity so you can move forward confidently.
As part of Divorce Smart’s mediation services, our CDFA® ensures both parties have a clear picture of the financial landscape. This reduces misunderstandings and supports more cooperative solutions.
Budgeting for a single-income household, revising insurance policies, and setting new financial goals are all part of the transition. A CDFA® helps you rebuild with stability in mind.
At Divorce Smart, we don’t just guide you through the legal process—we help you create a peaceful and financially sound future. As both a mediation firm and a CDFA®-led practice, we offer a unique blend of emotional support and financial expertise for couples divorcing in Minnesota.
Whether you’re just beginning to consider divorce or are already in the process, we’re here to help you make smart decisions with compassion and clarity.
