Art of Divorce

Art of Divorce specializes in providing financial analysis to clients as they are preparing, going through divorce or even those who need help post-divorce. By combining financial expertise with a creative approach, I support clients in making informed decisions for their future financial well-being.

One of the most challenging aspects of divorce is the uncertainty around finances.  Questions like, “Will I be able to keep the house?”, “Will my children have to change schools?” or “How is divorce going to impact my retirement?” can preoccupy your mind while not having answers or enough information saps your energy.  

Having gone through a long and difficult divorce myself, I understand the fog of financial uncertainty that comes with one of the most difficult times of your life. At the time of my divorce, I didn’t know about all the resources that were available beyond mediation and attorneys.  Once my divorce was final, I changed careers and became a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) to help others exit their marriage in better financial shape than I did. As a CDFA®, I help cut through the fog by conducting the analysis to help you answer those important questions so that you can make informed, long term decisions.

Wela Financial-Eric L. Essex

Wela is an Old English word that means prosperity. It is where our word for ‘wealth’ comes from; or also our word for ‘well’ as in “well done good and faithful servant”.

At Wela Financial, we help our clients pursue prosperity. Prosperity doesn’t just mean a big balance statement. It encompasses a life plan and fulfillment of that plan. We believe that we all have been given many blessings by God. These blessings include our talents, families, assets, incomes, passions, relationships and time. It is our goal to help our clients steward and use all of these blessings wisely.

We fulfill this through an ongoing planning process. We elicit from you, our clients, your dreams, goals, and plans by listening and asking great questions. We then help you build and manage and ultimately impact your world by providing you with solutions and tools that fit you. Plans will eventually evolve and change as we journey through life and reach new chapters and have new callings. At one time it might have been “help me build financial security” and now it might be “help me pass this on to others”. We desire to be there every step of the way.
