My parents divorced when I was six and as a result, my sister and I grew up in a house with challenging financial circumstances. Looking back, it’s easy for me to see why I gravitated toward a career that incorporated finance and divorce. 

I have 25 years of experience helping women and men navigate the financial issues in their divorce. Along the way I developed an interest in the division of pensions and retirement accounts and have written and lectured extensively on this topic along with other financial issues in divorce not only in Michigan but across the country to other financial professionals, lawyers and judges.

People often ask me how I can stand working in such a “depressing” field. Actually, my work can be challenging but it’s incredibly uplifting. I get to help people through one of the most difficult times in their life and see them through to the other side.

 We all know how easy it can be to delegate financial responsibilities, shy away from money conversations, or feel completely left out of our own financial business. It's so important for people to feel compelled to understand what they have and what they will need to be financially secure in the future. 
Jacki and I want to inspire our listeners to be the drivers of their financial future, no matter their relationship status and hopefully ease fears of becoming financially ruined by divorce.
As a financial advisor and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, I see first hand how divorce can be one of the most costly financial decisions. However, through financial planning and good financial decisions there can be good financial outcomes.
