Divorce Financial Mediation in Raleigh, NC or Online

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

We believe in honoring the past while building a future with clarity and calm. Our divorce mediation services are designed for couples ready to part ways with mutual respect, dignity, and a shared commitment to creating fair financial outcomes.

Whether you're looking for comprehensive support or a more flexible, focused approach, our mediation offerings empower you to navigate divorce together—strategically, peacefully, and with expert financial guidance every step of the way.

Why Mediate with a Financial Expert?

Unlike many mediators who bring a legal background but often lack comfort with financial complexity, I bring over two decades of financial experience—including credit, banking, investments, and specialized divorce financial planning. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and Family Financial Mediator, I don’t just facilitate conversation—I help you understand what’s at stake, what’s fair, and what’s financially wise.

From reviewing retirement assets and analyzing cash flow to identifying long-term implications of various settlement options, I ensure your financial decisions are not just emotionally grounded—but mathematically sound.

You’ll receive:

✔️ Insightful, impartial guidance from someone who understands both the emotional and financial side of separation
✔️ A welcoming, judgment-free environment
✔️ A roadmap tailored to your unique situation
✔️ Financial clarity and documentation that supports your next legal steps
✔️ The option to meet virtually or in our Raleigh office
✔️ A timeline that respects both your time and emotional bandwidth


Two Flexible Ways to Work Together

  • The Full Mediation Package – A step-by-step, expertly guided experience for couples ready to resolve all financial and practical decisions through mediation. Ideal for those who want a structured roadmap, in-depth financial analysis, and clear documentation to confidently move forward.
  • The A La Carte Option – A flexible, focused alternative for couples who have done some prep work or need support on one or two key issues. Streamlined, yet still supported by expert attention and clarity.


Mediation That Empowers, Not Overwhelms

Divorce is complex—but your process doesn’t have to be. Let’s replace uncertainty with structure, and fear with informed decisions. Our sessions are designed to move at a thoughtful pace so you’re not rushed—but always progressing.

Choosing the Right Mediator

Especially When Finances are Involved

In North Carolina, many divorce mediators come from legal backgrounds—typically as family law attorneys or former judges. While these professionals offer deep legal insight, it’s important to understand that legal expertise alone doesn’t guarantee financial clarity.

Here’s the truth: there is no legal requirement that divorce mediators be attorneys or judges. What matters most is their training in mediation and their ability to guide couples through the emotional, practical, and financial complexities of divorce.

Why Financial Expertise Is Non-Negotiable

Divorce is as much a financial separation as it is a legal one. From dividing retirement assets to understanding the tax implications of spousal support, the long-term effects of your decisions today will shape your financial future.

Yet many traditional mediators struggle to confidently review or interpret financial documents, let alone help couples understand how different choices will impact their post-divorce life.

That’s where I offer something different.

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Family Financial Mediator, and financial professional with over two decades of experience, I bring a rare and essential perspective to mediation. My work isn’t just about finding agreement—it’s about ensuring those agreements are financially informed, realistic, and sustainable.

What This Means for You

Choosing a mediator with financial fluency means:

✔️ Clarity instead of confusion when discussing income, assets, debts, or support
✔️ Strategic analysis of settlement options—not just legal viability, but long-term stability
✔️ Confidence that your agreements reflect real numbers and real-life needs
✔️ Documentation and summaries that support your next legal steps


Divorce is one of the most financially significant events of your life. Don’t leave your future to someone who’s uncomfortable reading a tax return or misinterprets a retirement statement.


If you're looking for a mediator who is both trained in conflict resolution and deeply knowledgeable about financial matters, you’re in the right place.
