Whether you’re in the midst of a divorce or simply want to understand all your options, let’s discuss how I can help you avoid costly mistakes.

“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.”

Services

I combine my experience and expertise to empower and guide you through the maze of divorce support and settlement issues to help you avoid expensive mistakes.

Divorce Planning

Divorce involves many moving parts, both emotional and financial. It can feel overwhelming, so it’s important to work with a financial professional to help assess your current and future financial situation.

Mediation Mentorship

Financial mediation is an opportunity to communicate and reconcile conflicting perspectives on financial issues.

Wealth Management

As an independent Certified Financial Planner® professional with more than two decades of experience, I help high net worth individuals preserve their wealth and manage their assets post divorce.

Hello, I’m Vickie Adams

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

During my own divorce, I realized that my attorney was an expert in family law, not in long-term financial planning. While he was fighting over random assets, we never discussed a big picture financial strategy for my future.

After my own experience I noticed the financial problems of recently divorced clients who were blindsided by the monetary implications of the divorce settlements they agreed to, I took a proactive stance in advising my clients to plan for their economic future before, during, and after their divorce. My practice is focused on high net worth, complex divorces, complicated by the nuances of California’s unique tax code.

My dedicated aim is to ensure my client’s financial security by providing objective, intelligent advice that considers their lifestyle and future goals.

Flower in a Pot

I'll strategize a win for you.

Life doesn't always work out like we had hoped. You’ll want my expertise in your corner to help guide you through what can be a confusing and overwhelmingly stressful chapter in your life. Let’s get your future underway.
