Your Divorce Is Final. Your Financial Transition Is Not.

What Actually Has to Happen Now

A decree tells you what you are entitled to. It does not move anything for you. These are the items most often missed, and the ones most expensive to miss.

• Transfer and retitle assets. Property, vehicles, and accounts do not change hands automatically.
• Confirm the QDRO was actually implemented. An order that was signed but never processed by the plan administrator is one of the most common and costly gaps we see.
• Update beneficiaries. Retirement accounts, life insurance, and payable-on-death designations override your will.
• Review your estate documents. Will, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, any trusts.
• Build a spending plan for your actual income. Not the old household budget with one column removed.
• Rebuild cash reserves. Divorce usually depletes them, and you no longer have a second income as a backstop.
• Review your insurance. Health, life, disability, auto, home, all of it in your name now.
• Monitor your credit. Confirm joint accounts are closed or separated, and that nothing new appears.
• Revisit your investments. Accounts you received may not suit your goals, timeline, or risk tolerance.
• Check your tax withholding. Filing status, dependents, and support all change the arithmetic.
• Reassess retirement projections. The old plan assumed two people and one household.
• Set short-term and long-term priorities. This is the part that turns survival into direction.

The Post-Divorce Financial Roadmap

Built for exactly this moment: you have the settlement, and now you need to know what to do with it.

What is included: a personalized financial snapshot built before you meet, a 60-minute one-on-one strategy session, a written and prioritized action plan, and two weeks of follow-up email support with introductions to trusted professionals where you need them.

Who it is for: women whose divorce is final, or nearly final, who want a clear picture of where they stand and a plan they can actually follow.

Investment: $997, credited toward getting started if you later choose to work with Intentional Wealth Partners as an ongoing client.

When You Want Someone in Your Corner for the Long Run

The Roadmap does one thing well: it gives you clarity and a plan you can act on. It is education and planning, not investment advice.

For many women that is enough. For others, the plan makes clear that they would rather not carry it alone. If that is you, Intentional Wealth Partners, our sister company, provides ongoing financial planning and investment management as a Registered Investment Advisor.

They are two separate companies. Working with one does not require working with the other, and there is no obligation either way.
