Guided by a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, our workshops offer practical, clear financial education designed for women facing divorce in Charlotte and nationwide.
Financial Clarity During Uncertain Times
Workshops Designed for Women Facing Divorce
Divorce creates financial questions that can feel overwhelming, especially for women in midlife who are navigating both emotional and monetary transitions. Our financial education workshops are built on the unique needs of women, many of whom are confronting a lifetime earnings gap, retirement planning concerns, or asset division challenges. Led by Kelley Hughes, one of only about 90 actively practicing CDFAs in the country, these sessions offer practical instruction without jargon or clutter. Each workshop is structured to deliver calm, step-by-step guidance, so you can move forward with confidence. Whether you are preparing for mediation, assessing your post-divorce cash flow, or seeking to understand Social Security benefits, these workshops provide the information and support you need, delivered in a minimalist, welcoming environment in Charlotte.
Trusted Guidance from a Nationally Recognized CDFA
What Sets Our Financial Education Apart
Smart Divorce Decisions stands out by offering workshops that draw directly from real-world divorce financial planning, not generic advice. Kelley Hughes is a recognized authority, teaching Continuing Legal Education (CLE) to local attorneys and presenting at industry events. Our sessions translate the same specialized knowledge used in high-stakes legal settings into actionable steps for individuals. We focus on the areas that matter most, like equitable asset division, tax implications, and long-term liquidity. Unlike standard financial seminars, our workshops are built for people experiencing stress, confusion, or high-conflict divorce situations. We prioritize calm, clear communication and use proven models to help you understand what your financial future can look like. Attendees leave with more than information—they gain the confidence to advocate for themselves and the peace of mind that comes from having an experienced financial advocate in their corner.
