3. Financial Issues & Support
Financial decisions are often among the most complicated aspects of separation and divorce. Understanding income, assets, debts, property division and support obligations is essential to developing arrangements that are fair, practical and financially sustainable.
Drawing on his extensive business and financial background, Stephen Rosenfield helps couples organize financial disclosure, review their financial circumstances and consider options for resolving property and support issues. This may include child support, spousal support, pensions, investments, family homes and other financial matters.
An important part of Stephen’s approach is helping each party prepare realistic post-separation household budgets. Understanding the anticipated cost of maintaining two households can help couples evaluate different settlement options and make informed decisions about their financial futures.
Where appropriate, financial analysis and support calculations may be prepared using professional family-law software. Stephen works with the parties to document proposed financial arrangements in a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding for independent legal review. Complex tax, valuation and legal questions may require advice from qualified independent professionals.
Our objective is to help couples reach informed financial arrangements that consider both their immediate needs and longer-term financial security.
