According to Kiplinger, many people navigating divorces choose to add the following financial professionals to their divorce teams.
Certified Public Accountants
CPAs tend to focus on the tax implications of divorce. Understanding how a divorce is going to impact your taxes is an important part of setting enough aside and avoiding unpleasant surprises, come tax time.
Forensic accountants
Forensic accountants may come into play if you suspect your spouse might be hiding assets or otherwise not being upfront with you about what he or she has tucked away. These professionals may be able to do a deep dive into your spouse’s online affairs and accounts to help make sure you get a fair shake during asset division.
Business valuators
If you, your ex or the two of you together own a business, you may need to use the services of a business valuator. The business valuator helps determine the value of a business and may, too, help you figure out possible ways to divide it.
