Judges Approve What Looks Fair.
I Help You See If Your Financial Settlement Will Actually Work.

In a divorce, dividing assets is only step one. Courts decide what appears fair โ€” not what guarantees your long-term stability. That's why understanding how assets actually behave matters before anything is signed.

I'm Leanne, Certified Divorce Financial Analystยฎ and financial planner.
When you can't trust anyone else in this process, you can trust me โ€” I help you understand what this settlement actually means for your life.

Wondering "Can I afford to do this?" You're asking the right question.

Why "Looking Fair" Isn't Enough

Judges don't decide whether your settlement will actually work for you. They decide whether it looks fair. Once a divorce is final, the consequences of that decision belong to you โ€” not the court.

Here's what most people discover too late: Equal-looking settlements can create very unequal futures. A 50/50 split might leave one spouse comfortable and the other struggling โ€” because not all assets behave the same way.

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analystยฎ and financial planner, I help you understand what this settlement actually means for your real life:

In a divorce, dividing assets is only step one. Understanding how those assets will actually support your life is everything that comes after.

Hiring an attorney to decide what you'll live on after divorce is like hiring a dentist when you need an oncologist

Both are docs, but only one can cure cancer.

Your lawyer knows the law. I show you what happens after you sign โ€” your actual income, real expenses, tax consequences, and what your life looks like for the next 10 years.

80% of divorce is about money โ€” assets, debt, and what you'll live on. Without financial analysis, you could agree to something that looks fair but doesn't actually work for your life, leaving you struggling years after the ink is dry.

And when trust feels impossible, you need an expert whose only goal is to protect your financial rights (yes, you have those) and well-being โ€” now and for years to come.

You don't have to choose between an attorney and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst โ€” you need both.
Your lawyer fights for legal rights.
I fight for what those rights mean financially โ€” so you can trust that every decision is in your best interest.

"Looks Fair" vs. "Actually Works"

Courts approve what appears fair. But appearing fair and actually working for your life are two different things. Here's what happens when no one slows down to check:

  • โ†’ Fighting for the house you win โ€” then living on cat food because you can't afford it. The mortgage, taxes, and maintenance drain every dollar while you wonder how to eat.
  • โ†’ Accepting $3,000/month in spousal support that sounds generous โ€” until you realize your bills are $4,200. Three years later, you're burning through savings you can't replace.
  • โ†’ Taking the retirement account that "looks bigger" โ€” without understanding the tax bomb waiting for you. What seemed like $200K becomes $140K after taxes, and now your plan doesn't work.
  • โ†’ Agreeing to "50/50 is fair" without calculating what you'll actually live on. Fair on paper, broke in real life. Your attorney moved on. You're the one living with the consequences.
  • โ†’ Signing because you're exhausted, scared, or pressured โ€” without seeing what your life will look like next year. By the time you realize the deal doesn't work? The ink is dry.
  • โ†’ Trusting that "it'll all work out" โ€” when you don't have the numbers to prove it will. Hope is not a financial plan. Fear is not a negotiation strategy.

When trust is shattered โ€” with your spouse, your attorney, or your own sense of judgment โ€” fear takes over.

That's where I come in.

I bring financial truth into the chaos so you can make decisions you trust.
I call that Fearless.

While you're reading this, decisions are being made.

Your spouse's attorney is preparing arguments. Settlement terms are being drafted. Every day you wait is another day someone else shapes YOUR financial future.

The ink doesn't care if you understood what you signed.

Why Slow Down Before Signing?

I'm Leanne Ozaine, Certified Divorce Financial Analystยฎ and financial planner. I exist to help people slow down before they make irreversible decisions.

Here's what I've learned from working with hundreds of people through divorce: the court approves what looks fair. But once it's final, the consequences belong to you โ€” not the judge, not the court.

Asset behavior matters more than percentages. Taxes, liquidity, income potential, timing โ€” these determine whether your settlement actually works in real life. Equal-looking splits can create very unequal futures.

That's why understanding how assets actually behave matters before anything is signed.

Judges don't decide whether your settlement will actually work for you. They decide whether it looks fair. Once a divorce is final, the consequences of that decision belong to you โ€” not the court.
