Financial Planning After Divorce Success Story

Janine and her husband used a mediator to divorce after 25 years of marriage. They have two children who were 20 and 17 years old. While Janine had always been responsible for the household budget, she had yet to make time to understand the family’s complete financial picture. The sudden realization of the decisions ahead led her to engage HTG. Seeking assistance while negotiations were in process allowed Janine to better understand her choices and set herself up for a successful transition to independence.

Divorce Financial Planning FAQs

What are your fees, and do you have any minimums?

As a fee-only fiduciary, we do not receive commissions or fees from the sale of financial products. Our fees come exclusively from our clients, so you can count on us to be transparent and straightforward. All of our services, including financial planning, investment management, client meetings, performance reviews, portfolio reporting, tax reports, etc., are included in our fees, which are billed quarterly in arrears.

Our fees consist of a fixed fee of $3,000 per year plus an assets under management fee starting at 0.75% that declines at higher asset levels. While we don’t have strict minimums, our fees generally make sense for clients with at least $2 million in investable assets (excluding home equity and checking accounts).This allows us to provide the most value and makes the most financial sense for both parties.

What makes HTG’s divorce planning different from working only with an attorney?

Attorneys are essential for legal agreements, but they are often focused on reaching a settlement. At HTG, we consider the entire picture, including taxes, long-term goals, and carrying out the financial aspects of the settlement. We also offer follow-through to ensure assets are actually divided and retitled as intended.

Does HTG help during the divorce process or only after?

We assist at every stage. Before divorce, we help organize your finances and prepare for meetings with attorneys. During the process, we provide support for asset division discussions and financial affidavits. Afterward, we build a complete financial plan to support your new lifestyle and goals.

Can HTG help me decide whether I should keep the house?

Yes. We help you determine whether keeping the home is financially feasible long-term. Sometimes, what feels emotionally right may not be financially sustainable. We will walk you through the decision making process.

What are common financial mistakes people make during or after divorce?
  • Not considering the tax implications of different asset types
  • Failing to follow through on the actual division of assets
  • Staying in the marital home without fully understanding the cost
  • Not updating estate documents or beneficiaries
  • Overspending, or extreme underspending due to fear
  • Not understanding the option to take spouse’s Social Security

We help you avoid these missteps and make informed decisions for both the short and long term.

Is HTG's first consultation free?

Yes. Our 30-minute introductory call is complimentary. It’s a chance to learn about your financial situation and share how we can help, without pressure or obligation.

Does HTG offer standalone divorce planning services?

Our services are offered as part of a comprehensive relationship. This allows us to provide coordinated investment management and planning support to give you the best long-term outcomes.

How often will we meet?

You’ll have regular check-ins, plus access to your advisory team as questions arise or life circumstances change.

I don’t live in Connecticut. Can I still work with HTG?

Yes. In fact, our clients are geographically dispersed across the country; fewer than half reside in Connecticut. We are accessible via telephone and video conference and regularly schedule trips to regions outside the NY Metro area.

What does fee-only fiduciary mean?

Fee-only indicates that we only receive fees from our clients. We do not receive compensation from the sale of any financial products, so our advice is always in your best interest, not influenced by commissions.

As fiduciaries we are legally and ethically bound to act in our clients’ best interests.

What are the advantages of hiring a financial advisor & what differentiates HTG from other advisors?

A knowledgeable financial advisor aims to protect you from financial mistakes that could jeopardize your long-term goals. As fee-only fiduciaries, HTG advisors always act in your best interest, giving unbiased expertise and guidance for your specific needs. We’ve been implementing proven strategies for our clients since 1993.
