A CDFA professional complements but does not replace a family law lawyer during separation or divorce
While a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) provides valuable financial expertise during divorce proceedings, they cannot legally replace a family law lawyer. These professionals serve different but complementary roles in your separation process.
- A family law lawyer provides legal representation, interprets laws, and handles court proceedings
- A CDFA professional focuses specifically on financial analysis, asset division strategies, and long-term financial planning
- Working with both professionals gives you comprehensive support for legal and financial aspects of separation
For the best outcome in your separation, consider engaging both a family law lawyer for legal protection and a CDFA professional for detailed financial guidance. This combined approach helps ensure both your legal rights and financial interests are properly protected throughout the separation process.
