Divorce Mediation  Ever After Wealth®

Divorce Mediation with Financial Clarity

Strategic Divorce Mediation for High-Earning Couples Who Want Clarity, fairness, and Financially Sound Options. Without Unnecessary Conflict or Financial Blind spots.

Divorce does not have to become a battle, or a financial guessing game.

At Ever After Wealth®, mediation is designed for couples who want to remain civil without sacrificing financial clarity or long-term security.

 

 

Mediation for Financially Sophisticated Decisions

This mediation model is designed for couples with complex financial lives and meaningful financial stakes. When businesses, professional practices, investment portfolios, equity compensation, or significant income disparities are involved, standard mediation approaches often fall short. As a financial professional serving as mediator, I focus on bringing clarity to the numbers so decisions are made with a full understanding of cash flow, tax exposure, and long-term sustainability—not pressure, assumptions, or oversimplification.

When you both understand numbers, you deserve a mediator who does too-and a process that turns financial complexity into clear, sustainable choices. 

Who This Mediation Is For

  • High earners or financially sophisticated couples

  • Those wanting to be fair, but unsure what "fair" actually means in divorce

  • Couples who know their finances, but recognize divorce changes the rules

  • Professionals seeking clear, informed decisions

For high earners, "fair" and "financially smart" are not opposites.

The right mediator brings both to the table.

What Financially Informed Mediation Focuses On:

  • Understanding how assets actually function after divorce, not just how they appear on paper

  • Evaluating cash flow, liquidity, and post-divorce sustainability

  • Identifying tax exposure and unintended consequences of “clean” splits

  • Stress-testing assumptions around income, support, and future earning capacity

  • Surfacing common financial risks high earners often overlook

 

Traditional mediation was built around communication skills, not complex finances. Most mediators are excellent at guiding conversation—but they are not CDFA® professionals, they are not modeling scenarios, and they are not trained to see the long-term financial impact of your decisions.

High-earning couples often assume that because they understand numbers, they will naturally reach sound financial agreements. In divorce, that assumption can be costly. The rules change. Taxes behave differently. Cash flow replaces net worth as the true measure of sustainability. Decisions that appear balanced on paper can create long-term imbalance once households separate.

As a CDFA®, Nationally Certified Mediator, and Certified Divorce Specialist with 22+ years of experience (including 15 years inside law firms working alongside attorneys on high-net-worth cases), Gabriella and her team bring something rare to the mediation table: deep, divorce-specific financial expertise integrated into every conversation.

Our process is designed for couples who understand numbers and want to be fair. Instead of leaving you to "do the math" after sessions, we look at the real numbers together—cash flow, taxes, equity, practice value, and long-term security—so the agreement you reach is not just peaceful in the moment, but sustainable for both of you over time.

Most Mediators Are not Trained in the Numbers. WE ARE.
