Confidence in Financial Decisions During Divorce

A divorce client in my Brentwood, TN office said she wanted to retain my services because she did not have confidence that her attorney could really give her meaningful financial advice.

She asked her attorney, “Should we pay off the house or should we keep the extra cash? If we pay off the house, my monthly bills will be lower and I won’t need as much alimony. But then, we won’t have emergency money. What do you recommend?”

Her attorney acknowledged she really needed to talk with a financial professional to get those answers and referred her to me.

I enjoy working with attorneys that understand the legal and financial aspects of a case require professionals who are trained and qualified to give sound advice in the field of their expertise. You wouldn?t ask your family doctor to treat your heart condition so why would you ask your divorce attorney to address complicated financial issues?
