Divorce Expertise in Action
Financial Consulting & Analysis
When divorce involves complex income streams, investments, stock compensation, or closely held businesses, financial clarity becomes essential—not optional.
BrainstormingWomen provides detailed financial consulting and analysis for individuals seeking clarity before critical decisions are made.
We work directly with clients and in collaboration with attorneys and mediators to untangle even the most intricate financial landscapes—translating statements, disclosures, and tax records into clear, actionable insight.
Our work may include:
- Comprehensive review of income, expenses, assets, and liabilities
- Financial affidavit preparation and organization
- Settlement modeling and “what-if” projections
- Tax-aware strategies to support equitable division
Clients and professionals gain a grounded understanding of financial reality—allowing negotiations to proceed with fewer surprises, stronger positioning, and greater confidence.
Best suited for law firms, mediators, and individuals requiring expert financial insight.
Most clients begin with a focused conversation to determine the most appropriate level of support.
Strategic Coaching & Education
Divorce doesn’t come with a handbook—but informed decisions require thoughtful guidance. Our strategic coaching offerings are designed for individuals and couples who want clarity, preparation, and direction as they navigate the financial realities of separation. These conversations often serve as an entry point, helping determine whether focused strategy support, a full VIP Day, or private financial mediation is the most appropriate next step.
Strategic offerings include:
Office Hours with Jessica. A focused, one-hour strategy conversation to address urgent financial questions, clarify options, and determine appropriate next steps.
Divorce VIP Day. An immersive, private financial working session offering deep analysis, scenario modeling, and clarity for complex divorce decisions.
Private Financial Mediation. Structured, neutral financial conversations guiding couples through budgets, assets, and settlement scenarios with clarity and reduced conflict. For spouses seeking collaborative financial decision-making, structured mediation support is detailed below.
Not sure which path is right? Office Hours is often the best place to begin.
Divorce Financial Mediation
For spouses ready to work through financial decisions collaboratively, mediation offers a structured and informed path forward.
Money conversations during divorce are often charged with emotion. Our role is to make them productive. As neutral financial mediators, we guide spouses through discussions about budgets, assets, and settlement scenarios—helping both parties understand the financial implications of each option and work toward informed agreement.
Mediation support may include:
- Guided financial mediation sessions
- Scenario comparison and settlement analysis
- Structured communication designed to reduce tension
- Optional pre- and post-session meetings for review and refinement
Unlike traditional mediation models, our work is grounded in detailed financial analysis—ensuring decisions are informed, not simply agreeable.
Our mediation approach blends financial intelligence with emotional neutrality—turning confusion into cooperation.
Professional Partnerships
BrainstormingWomen regularly supports attorneys, mediators, and financial professionals with complex cases involving high-asset division, non-traditional income, and long-term financial planning considerations.
We support professional teams with:
- Financial affidavit preparation and case organization
- Income, lifestyle, and support analysis
- Expert witness and litigation support
- Spanish-language services for diverse client populations
Think of us as your firm’s financial clarity partner—bringing depth, precision, and care to every case.
Divorce Mediation
Empowered Separation
Empowered Separation is BrainstormingWomen’s private financial mediation process for spouses who want a respectful, informed alternative to courtroom conflict.
Led by a trained Family Financial Settlement Mediator and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, this process centers financial clarity, neutrality, and mutual understanding—so both parties can participate meaningfully in shaping their resolution.
Rather than having outcomes decided for you, Empowered Separation creates a calm, structured environment where informed choices can be explored thoughtfully. While legal advice is not provided and binding agreements are not drafted, spouses leave with a clear written summary and Memorandum of Understanding, ready for review and formalization by their attorneys.
