Divorce Mediation

Divorce Doesn’t Have to Be a Battle — Let It Be a Beginning

When the time comes to separate, you deserve more than conflict and uncertainty.
You deserve a process that is private, strategic, and designed to protect both your dignity and your future.

Empowered Separation is a refined financial mediation experience for couples who want to resolve divorce thoughtfully—without courtroom battles, unnecessary expense, or emotional escalation.  This is not a quick compromise or a one-size-fits-all process.


It is a guided, financially informed path toward resolution—built with intention, clarity, and mutual respect.


A Modern Mediation Standard—Grounded in Financial Expertise

Most mediators come from a legal background. Few are trained to analyze the financial implications that must now be addressed under modern mediation standards.


That distinction matters.


With more than two decades of experience in banking and investments, and over a decade as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, I bring a financial lens that ensures your agreements are not only emotionally considerate—but financially sustainable.

From evaluating retirement assets and support scenarios to projecting long-term cash flow and understanding the financial impact of parenting decisions, every conversation is informed by clarity and analysis.

The result is a process that supports better decisions now—and fewer regrets later.


What You Can Expect from Empowered Separation

This mediation experience is designed for couples who value structure, neutrality, and forward-thinking resolution.

You can expect:

  • Impartial, financially informed guidance 
  • A calm, structured environment designed for progress—not posturing
  • Financial clarity that supports sound decision-making
  • Thoughtfully prepared documentation to streamline attorney review
  • Flexible scheduling, including private virtual sessions
  • A process that respects your time, emotions, and long-term stability


How to Work Together:


Empowered Separation Mediation Experience

A comprehensive, private mediation process for spouses ready to resolve financial and practical matters with dignity, fairness, and foresight.

This experience is intentionally structured to meet modern mediation expectations while remaining responsive to each couple’s unique financial landscape.

The process includes:

  • A pre-mediation alignment session to establish readiness, priorities, and scope
  • Secure digital folder and proprietary financial workbook
  • Thoughtful review of core financial documentation
  • Up to three 2-hour mediation sessions, guided with neutrality and financial insight
  • A Memorandum of Understanding outlining agreed-upon financial and practical terms
  • A post-mediation session to review the Memorandum of Understanding and support each party as they prepare to take it to their respective legal counsel for formal drafting.


Choosing the Right Mediator

Especially When Finances are Involved

Most mediators come from legal backgrounds. Valuable, yes—but legal training alone doesn’t guarantee financial fluency. When your future depends on the numbers, you need a mediator who can interpret them with precision and neutrality.


Why financial expertise matters
Divorce is a full financial restructuring. Retirement accounts, cash flow, taxes, support, real estate—each choice carries long-term consequences. Without rigorous financial analysis, agreements that are just numbers on paper can fail in real life.


What sets Empowered Separation apart
Led by a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and seasoned financial professional, our mediation applies the same level of scrutiny you’d expect from high-stakes financial planning—within a calm, structured process.


What you gain

  • Financial clarity: Every asset, liability, and income stream analyzed—no guesswork.
  • Strategic foresight: Agreements built for durability, not just today.
  • Confident decisions: Settlements grounded in real numbers and real needs.
  • Clean handoff: Clear summaries to support your legal next steps.

Your divorce is one of the most significant financial events of your life. Choose a mediator who speaks the language of money.
