Divorce Calculators

Divorce is largely about money and making smart financial decisions, such as how to make the most tax advantageous allocation between child support and alimony, how best to equitably divide the marital home and other marital property or how to avoid alimony recapture, often requires calculations by divorce financial planning specialists with sophisticated divorce calculators.

Divorce Financial Planners come from a variety of backgrounds and different levels of experience. Many are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners. Some have also been trained and certified by the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts and awarded the designation Certified Divorce Financial Analyst or CDFA (formerly the Institute for Certified Divorce Planners, Certified Divorce Planner and CDP). Others have received training or designations from other schools or have extensive hands-on experience working with people going through divorce and their mediators or attorneys. Hiring a divorce financial planner can both potentially save you money and get you better results. It is important, however, that you hire a knowledgeable and experienced planner you feel comfortable working with.
