About Equitable Solutions

Equitable Solutions:

  • Helps clients understand the financial impact the divorce will have.  
  • Mediates divorces when both parties are willing to work together with a mediator to create a division of their property with dignity and confidentiality.

  • Work with individuals and their attorney involved in the adversarial divorce process -- helping them before and during mediation to reach and understand which assets and liabilities they need to be awarded.

Texas Divorce is not only hard emotionally, it can be, without guidance, financially devastating.  Child support and maintenance (alimony) is incredibly limited unless voluntarily agreed to in mediation.  Equitable Solutions, Inc. is a revolutionary new approach to the division of marital assets that cuts through the emotions and percentages, and deals with the realities of tomorrow!

Equitable Solutions, Inc. is a professional firm of Certified Financial Planners and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst specializing in the division of marital assets.  The firm’s over-riding goal is to enable a family, with or without children, which has become dysfunctional, and involved in the divorce process, the best opportunity to become two fully functioning and financially viable families.

We accomplish our goal by utilizing our financial planning expertise, mediation skills and experience, and a proprietary computer program to illustrate graphically what any given division of property means to each of the divorcing spouses as they create and live their
new life. 

Divorce is an emotional process!  It involves all of the emotions -- hurt, anger, fear, guilt, even relief.  But ultimately, before it is over, it is about money.  Divorce is not about hurting or about getting even.  It is about what is equitable -- a division that will enable both parties to move forward without being financially crippled.
