PROVIDING VALUABLE HELP
Over 150,000 Canadians separate each year and 75,000 divorce. Depending on the province, up to one half of all marriages end in failure. Divorce can be very damaging emotionally and financially.
Financial professionals (accredited planners and accountants) who acquire Financial Divorce Specialist certification are uniquely qualified to assist in dealing with the often complex financial issues in a divorce.
It is generally understood that assets are split 50/50 in a divorce - but what does this mean in specific circumstances? Various assets may have different values depending on a number of factors including present and future taxation.
Objective asset division evaluation can result in the prediction of future financial consequences. The Financial Divorce Specialist helps clients avoid making costly mistakes in the division of assets as they relate to their future well being.
