The financial consequences of divorce can be significant. Without careful analysis, settlements may address immediate concerns while overlooking long-term financial stability. Working with a professional who understands the financial aspects of divorce can help parties reach agreements that account for both present needs and future security.
Family law attorneys provide essential legal guidance, but many do not have the time or specialized training to analyze the full financial picture of a marital estate. As a result, financial expertise is often missing from the divorce process.
As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), Deborah Beylus of South Florida Mediation Services provides focused financial guidance to divorcing individuals. She helps clients understand how the financial decisions made during divorce will affect their long-term financial outcomes. Through South Florida Mediation Services, Deborah Beylus assists clients in navigating the financial aspects of divorce with the goal of achieving a stable and well-planned post-divorce future.
Top Five Reasons for Hiring Deborah Beylus as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® During the Divorce Process
When navigating the complex financial landscape of divorce, having expert guidance can mean the difference between long-term financial security and years of regret. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® (CDFA®) and Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, Deborah Beylus brings over thirty years of financial industry experience to help couples make informed decisions during one of life’s most challenging transitions.
Time is a critical factor in any divorce proceeding. The sooner you understand your complete financial picture, the faster you can move toward resolution. Deborah conducts comprehensive financial analysis at the beginning of your divorce process, identifying assets, liabilities, income sources, and future financial needs before negotiations even begin.
This proactive approach prevents the costly delays that occur when financial information surfaces late in the process. Rather than backtracking to reassess settlement options, you’ll have clarity from day one. Deborah’s ability to quickly gauge the financial landscape of each case means fewer mediation sessions, reduced attorney fees, and a more streamlined path to your new beginning.
Divorce doesn’t have to drain your life savings. Deborah helps clients save money during the divorce process through strategic financial planning and analysis that minimizes unnecessary expenditures. Her expertise in financial matters allows her to identify cost-effective settlement options that many couples overlook.
By understanding the true value of your marital assets, the tax implications of different division scenarios, and the long-term financial impact of various settlement structures, you can avoid expensive mistakes. Deborah’s neutral mediation approach also reduces the adversarial costs associated with traditional litigation, keeping more money in your pocket where it belongs.
The decisions you make during divorce will impact your financial well-being for decades to come. What seems fair today might create significant hardship tomorrow. As a CDFA®, Deborah specializes in helping clients avoid the long-term financial pitfalls that commonly arise from divorce agreements.
She analyzes both the immediate and future implications of settlement options, including the division of retirement accounts, real estate, business interests, and other complex assets. Deborah helps you understand how today’s choices will affect your retirement security, tax obligations, and overall financial stability years down the road. Her clients benefit from her commitment to sharing information that prevents long-term regret with financial decisions made during the emotional turbulence of divorce.
One of the most shocking aspects of divorce is the financial adjustment that follows. Many people struggle because they didn’t plan for the reality of maintaining two households on what was previously one combined income. Deborah assists with developing detailed, realistic household budgets that help you avoid post-divorce financial struggles.
Through careful analysis of your income, expenses, and financial obligations, she helps you create a sustainable financial plan for your new life. This budgeting process ensures that any support agreements reflect actual living costs and that you can maintain financial stability after your divorce is finalized. You’ll enter your next chapter with confidence, knowing exactly what you need to thrive financially.
Financial uncertainty breeds anxiety, and misunderstandings about your financial situation can derail the entire mediation process. Deborah reduces apprehension and misunderstanding by eliminating false expectations through clear, accessible financial education.
She explains complex financial concepts in straightforward language, ensuring both parties understand the short-term and long-term financial impacts of their settlement options. By providing transparent analysis of the tax implications of property division, the financial consequences of various support payment structures, and realistic projections for post-divorce financial life, Deborah empowers couples to make confident, informed decisions.

“My wife and I have had over 50 years experience working with children and families. We are keenly aware of when individuals do their jobs or when the rare circumstance occurs and people move their level of commitment to a higher level.
