Jessica M. Garcia — Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®

Your Advocate in the Financial Decisions of Divorce

Understanding the numbers changes the conversation. Whether you are still weighing your options or actively moving toward separation, understanding your financial picture before decisions are made can change the course of your future. And you don't have to decide to divorce before you begin understanding what divorce could mean financially.

You may be here because…

Your spouse has always handled most of the finances, and you need to understand what you have.
You're wondering whether you could realistically afford to live separately.
Everyone is asking what you want, but you don't yet know what the different choices would mean financially.
You're worried about the house, retirement, support, or maintaining your lifestyle.
A settlement has been proposed, and you want to understand it before agreeing to anything.
Or perhaps you're simply wondering: Would I be financially okay if I left?

My work combines financial organization, analysis, and strategy to help you understand the financial decisions in front of you before they become final. Depending on your circumstances, that may include:

Financial organization and document review
Identifying and organizing assets and liabilities
Cash flow and lifestyle analysis
Settlement option comparisons
Financial scenario modeling
Retirement and property division considerations
Customized financial workbooks
Preparation for meetings with attorneys, mediators, and other professionals
Financial education and decision support throughout the process

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone

Divorce can put you in the uncomfortable position of making some of the biggest financial decisions of your life at a time when you may feel least prepared to make them. My role is not to tell you whether to divorce or what decision to make. It is to sit beside you, organize the financial information, help you understand what the numbers mean for your life, and make sure you know what questions deserve an answer before important decisions become final.

Begin with a Conversation

Every client relationship begins with a consultation, a Zoom conversation that provides an opportunity to discuss your circumstances, identify your most important financial questions, and determine which level of support is appropriate for your situation.

Support That's Right for You

Not every financial question requires the same level of support. The support you need may depend on the questions you are facing, the information available, and how many financial decisions need to be considered together.

Working with Jessica

Momentum — Our Signature Service

Momentum is a private experience for women facing financial decisions while contemplating or navigating separation or divorce. Through a structured process of document gathering, financial review, and strategy, I help you organize the available information, understand the tradeoffs, identify what may still be missing, and prepare for the important conversations ahead.

Divorce Financial Intensive

For women who are comfortable gathering and organizing their own financial information, the Divorce Financial Intensive offers concentrated, in-person time to review defined financial questions, understand what the available information may mean, and clarify the next steps.

The experience includes advance review of your prepared financial materials followed by a private three-hour working session in Charlotte or Cary.
