Divorce can financially destroy business owners before the ink is dry.
I help make sure it doesn't!

“I find the financial traps no one else sees, so my clients go through divorce with eyes wide open, knowing exactly what is theirs and how to keep it.”

Gabriella E. Martinelli, CDFA®

HERE IS THE BLUNT TRUTH:

Divorce does not just end marriages. It can blow up businesses, drain cash flow, and unravel everything you have built.

​

As a business owner, you face unique financial risks:


Your business might be considered a marital asset—even if your spouse never worked a single day in it.


Your business valuation could be inflated, leaving you forced to buy out your spouse for far more than it is truly worth.


Your income can be double-counted—once in valuation, again in support calculations—leaving you paying twice.


Partners, investors, or clients might get dragged into disclosures you never wanted public.


The stress of litigation can cripple your ability to focus on running your business.


Divorce law does not care that your business is your livelihood. It treats it like any other asset to divide.

I am Gabriella E. Martinelli, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) who has spent two decades helping business owners navigate divorce without sacrificing everything they have built.

HERE'S WHAT SETS ME APART:

I Work for You — Not just the Legal Process

Most financial experts in divorce are brought in by attorneys to support their legal strategy. And while that is necessary, their loyalty ultimately lies with the legal team, not you. I am different.

 

I work directly for you—the business owner—to make sure you understand exactly what is happening financially, why it matters, and how to protect yourself.


I ensure you fully understand every financial detail and decision. I translate complex legal and financial jargon into clear, practical guidance.


I proactively uncover blind spots that attorneys and traditional financial experts often overlook.


My recommendations always prioritize your long-term financial security—and the security of your business.


Yes, I collaborate with attorneys, but my primary loyalty is always to my clients. I am here to make sure you remain confident, informed, and in control throughout the entire process.
