Triangle Divorce Financial Mediation

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 not just another mediation service—it is the elevated standard for couples who want to part ways with grace, fairness, and financial clarity. Here, every detail is addressed with compassion and expertise. 

Every choice is informed. Every outcome is built together.

Most mediators come from a legal background. Few are equipped to untangle the financial complexities of divorce. That is where Empowered Separation sets itself apart.

With over two decades of experience in banking, investments, and 10 years of divorce financial planning, I bring a level of expertise that ensures your decisions are not just emotionally considerate—but also financially analyzed.. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and Family Financial Mediator, I translate complexity into clarity so you can move forward with confidence.

From evaluating retirement accounts to analyzing cash flow and modeling settlement outcomes, we ensure your financial agreements are equitable, sustainable, and aligned with your future goals.

Here, mediation is not about quick compromises. It is about:

• Impartial, insightful guidance that protects both parties’ interests
• A structured, judgment-free environment designed for progress
• Tailored financial clarity that informs your next legal steps
• Documentation you can rely on when formalizing your settlement
• The flexibility to meet virtually
• A process that respects both your time and your emotional wellbeing

Our most comprehensive service: a step-by-step, expertly guided process for couples ready to resolve all financial and practical matters. Includes a financial document review, a digital financial workbook, 2 pre and post 60-minute meetings, and three 2-hour mediation sessions. You’ll leave with a Memorandum of Understanding—the framework for your binding settlement.

An alternative for couples who have already laid some groundwork, have a level playing field of financial knowledge, and need expert guidance on specific issues. Streamlined, yet still supported by the same depth of financial expertise and neutrality with a a carte motions as needed.

Divorce doesn’t follow a script—your mediation shouldn’t either. The Empower Sessions offer you the flexibility to schedule mediation in exclusive three-hour blocks, giving you the freedom to move at your own pace while ensuring every detail receives the attention it deserves.

These sessions are designed for couples who want a focused, high-touch experience without committing to a full package all at once. 

Whether you choose one session or several, Empower Sessions offer the discretion, structure, and expertise needed to make meaningful progress on your terms.

In North Carolina, many divorce mediators arrive from the courtroom—former judges, seasoned attorneys, and family law professionals. Their expertise in the law is valuable, but legal training alone does not guarantee the financial fluency required to guide couples through one of life’s most complex transitions.

Here is the truth: there is no requirement that a mediator be an attorney. What truly matters is their ability to navigate the emotional, practical, and financial intricacies of separation with precision and neutrality. And when your financial future is at stake, expertise in money matters is non-negotiable.

Divorce is not only the end of a marriage—it is the restructuring of an entire financial life. From dividing retirement assets and analyzing cash flow to evaluating the impact of spousal support, every decision carries lasting consequences.

Many traditional mediators are not equipped to interpret these complexities, leaving couples vulnerable to agreements that look balanced on paper but collapse under real-world financial pressure.

At Empowered Separation, the standard is different.

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Family Financial Mediator, and financial professional with more than two decades of banking and investment experience, I bring a perspective that is both rare and indispensable. Here, mediation is not just about reaching agreement—it is about ensuring those agreements are informed, strategic, and sustainable.

When you choose Empowered Separation, you gain:

• Financial clarity, not confusion—every asset, liability, and income stream is analyzed with precision.
• Strategic foresight—agreements are designed not just for today, but for the long-term stability of both parties.
• Confidence in every decision—knowing your settlement reflects 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. Entrusting it to someone who cannot confidently review a tax return or interpret a retirement statement is a risk no discerning couple should take.

Empowered Separation ensures that every decision you make is elevated, informed, and designed to protect your family’s future.  Schedule a call today.
