Sure.
Thanks so much for having me as a guest today.
My name is Melissa Murphy-Pavone.
I'm a certified financial planner and a certified divorce financial analyst.
And my true passion is really helping people
and empowering the non-CFO spouse through their divorce process.
So the CFO of the family is the person that deals with the tax return, the investing accounts, the savings accounts, maybe like the more long-term things, the larger purchases.
And it's great when both spouses are involved in that process or aware of it.
But we've all heard of like the blank tax returns, like people not knowing who their mortgage is with and how much credit card debt they have, or they just have...
They're only privy to kind of like the day-to-day expenses, like you said, being able to run the household, but not seeing the big picture.
And that's really important.
I'm a big proponent of no matter where you are in your relationship or in life, just to have that financial clarity and open financial communication, because that's really key.
So I got my CDFA back in 2015, and I always wanted to help
People go through divorce.
And the reason why is my mom.
I was a child of divorce.
She made a lot of decisions with her heart and not her head.
And when you're in the throes of divorce, it's so emotionally draining that you're not able to think clearly anymore.
to how these decisions will affect me, my family, my retirement, 5, 10, 20 years.
You're just trying to get through the day.
