Michael A. Rogge, CPA, CDFA

 A divorce is one of the most stressful events you will ever encounter in your lifetime. Many people want to "just get it over with."  However, in today's volitile economic environment, it is more important than ever that you receive excellent professional representation. This includes all the legal issues associated with divorce, as well as all the financial aspects. There are many things to consider, including making sure that you receive an equitable distribuion of marital assets & liabilities, a proper focus on alimony and child support, along with ensuring that your financial settlement will provide you with both short & long term financial security.

Working side by side with your attorney, I will ensure that you receive proper guidance on how to divide your marital net worth. This often includes the application of forensic accounting procedures to ensure that all assets and liabilities are properly disclosed by your spouse, and valued accurately. I also provide guidance on potential financial pitfalls, such as unforseen tax consequences on certain transactions. Too many times divorce settlements are based upon emotion, and not hard economic facts. It's unfortunate that you found yourself in a divorce situation, but it is extrememly important that you safeguard your financial future.
