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 not just another mediation service — it reflects the new 2025 mediation standards and sets the bar for couples who want to part ways with grace, fairness, and financial clarity. Every session is guided by a proven process, yet tailored to the unique needs of each couple. Here, every choice is informed. Every outcome is built together.


Why Mediate with a Financial Expert?

Most mediators come from a legal background. Few are trained to navigate the financial and tax implications that now must be addressed under the 2025 standards. That is where Empowered Separation stands apart.

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

From evaluating retirement accounts to analyzing support scenarios, projecting long-term cash flow, and reviewing the financial impact of parenting plans, every decision is backed by clarity and analysis — giving you peace of mind today and security for tomorrow.


What You Can Expect

This is not about quick compromises. It is about creating a resolution that reflects both fairness and foresight.

  • Impartial, insightful guidance that protects both parties’ interests
  • A structured, judgment-free environment designed for progress
  • Comprehensive financial clarity that informs your next legal steps
  • Tailored documentation you can rely on when formalizing your settlement
  • Flexible scheduling including private virtual sessions
  • A process that respects your time, emotions, and future stability


Ways to Work Together:

Additional sessions are scheduled as needed to turn clarity into agreements. These meetings are focused on negotiation — addressing property division, support, and parenting arrangements — at a pace that protects both your time and your emotional wellbeing.  

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.
