“I’m thinking about getting a divorce: How much spousal support will I have to pay? Will I lose my assets?”

“I’ve seen an attorney. I want help with preparing the disclosure document.”

“I need clarity on my joint finances & investments.”

“I need you to liaise with my attorney and translate their counsel to what it means to me financially.”   

“I don’t know if mediation is right for me. I don’t feel like I understand the money well enough to represent myself & my financial interests.”

“I’m divorced already. I need to re-negotiate child support issues.”

Hi, I’m Vickie Adams

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ and a Certified Financial Planner™, I’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate the financial side of their divorce with confidence so they can refocus on what matters: their lives.

California has a lot of state specific requirements regarding divorce. That’s why I have specialized in guiding individuals through high-asset and high-conflict divorces for decades throughout the entire state. I’ve seen firsthand how not being fully informed or understanding the financial implications of certain decisions can have a major impact on you.

My strength is making the complex financial issues of your divorce easy to understand. My only goal is to plan and protect your financial future. We will get it done right, because there are no do-overs in divorce settlements.

I’ll strategize

a win for you.
