Strategizing for life
after divorce
Divorce is difficult, but the finances don't have to be
We understand the legal process
Most divorces are handled within the court system. Our founder and chief CDFA®, Karen D. Sparks has her law degree (J.D.) and therefore has a full understanding of the divorce financial implications and the court process.
We specialize in divorce finances and NOTHING else
The “D” for Karen’s middle name isn’t divorce, but it could be. At DFS™, the only financial analysis work we handle is related to divorce , so we are true experts.
Budget and mortgage finance help IN HOUSE
You don’t have to worry about “what next?” when choosing DFS™. We have the professionals necessary to help you understand, plan and execute the appropriate financial decisions for your family.
