IG Reel: Do You Need a Lawyer to Handle Alimony and Child Support Issues?

Complexities of Child Support | TruNorth Divorce

Handling child support and alimony doesn’t always require a lawyer. In fact, working with a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) can be a game-changer.⠀

A CDFA® specializes in the financial aspects of divorce, helping you navigate the complexities of child support and alimony calculations. They consider all income sources—wages, disability payments, interest, dividends, bonuses, and even potential earning capacity if you’re working part-time or retired early. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate and fair child support and alimony arrangements.⠀

One of the key benefits of working with a CDFA® is maintaining control over the process and outcome. They can serve as mediators or consultants, offering solutions that are often faster, less stressful, and more cost-effective than involving lawyers and the court system.⠀

CDFA® professionals also help you plan for future financial changes. Whether it’s understanding how a financial windfall or a change in income impacts child support, they provide the clarity and guidance you need.⠀

Why deal with the stress and expense of the court system if you don’t have to? Let a CDFA® help you resolve child support and alimony issues efficiently and effectively.⠀
