Divorce Financial Planning for Women in the D.C. Metro Area


Clear answers, a steady plan, and a team that has been through it too.
Divorce asks you to make some of the biggest financial decisions of your life at the exact moment you have the least energy for them. We help women across the DMV and beyond understand what they have and what they're entitled to, and picture what life can look like on the other side.

Let's Talk

We've Lived Through Big Transitions Ourselves

The women who lead Curo understand that life can bring unexpected changes and new financial priorities. Our own experiences with divorce, independence, and new beginnings shape how we work with clients, with empathy, an open mind, and a focus on clarity over pressure.

Whether you’re accustomed to managing big decisions or navigating your finances independently for the first time, we’ll meet you where you are. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances, answer your questions, and help you move forward with a financial plan that reflects your goals and priorities.

What Should You Know Before Your Divorce Is Final?

The decisions made during the process set up everything that follows, so this is the time to get clear.

Know what you own together.

Retirement accounts, stock options, deferred compensation, pensions, and business interests are easy to overlook and often significant. We help you build a complete inventory.

Understand what a proposed settlement means for your day-to-day.

A house that looks like a win can become a burden once you see the carrying costs on one income. We run the numbers so you can weigh the trade-offs before you sign.

Plan your cash flow now.

A realistic spending plan for the next year helps you make calmer decisions and reduces surprises.

Coordinate with your attorney.

We're happy to work alongside the professionals already on your team, so the financial and legal pieces fit together.


Our article on your first 90 days after filing walks through what typically comes first.

Your First 90 Days After Filing

What Happens to Your Finances After the Divorce?

Once your divorce is finalized, there are financial details to address and new decisions to make. We’ll help you prioritize what needs attention, get organized, and build a plan for the next chapter.

What Should You Do First After Divorce?

Once the paperwork is signed, a second list begins. We help you work through it in order.

  • Retitle and separate accounts, and confirm retirement assets are divided the way your agreement says.
  • Update beneficiaries on every account and policy, so the people you intend to name are the ones listed.
  • Review insurance. Health, life, and disability coverage may all change after a divorce.
  • Prepare for your first tax season as a single filer, which can look very different from the years before.
  • Rebuild your retirement plan around your own timeline and income.

How Does Divorce Financial Planning Work at Curo?

Every relationship begins with a discovery conversation where we get to know you, your life, and your financial goals. Our team then takes a closer look at your finances and develops a personalized written plan. We walk through it together, discuss your options, and help you put the right strategies into action. As your life and priorities evolve, we continue to check in and adjust your plan along the way.

We also collaborate with your divorce attorney, estate planning attorney, and CPA to help coordinate your financial strategy and ensure your plan reflects the full picture of your life and goals.

Our Process & Pricing

Planning for the Life That Comes Next

Divorce marks the end of one chapter and the start of a new story that you get to write on your own terms. You may be ready to start a business, travel, move closer to family, or focus on goals that have taken a back seat. Our whole-life approach to financial planning considers more than your accounts. We look at what matters most to you and build a financial plan around the future you want to create.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I work with a financial planner during divorce?

As early as possible. Working with us before your divorce settlement is finalized can help you understand how different options may affect your financial future. It’s often easier to evaluate your choices before an agreement is signed than to make changes afterward.

Will you work with my divorce attorney?

Yes. We coordinate with attorneys, mediators, CPA'S and other tax professionals to help ensure your financial plan and legal strategy work together. We don't provide legal advice.

Should I fight to keep the house in my divorce?

That depends on your financial situation, priorities, and long-term goals. We help you evaluate the full cost of keeping the house, including mortgage payments, taxes, maintenance, and other expenses, alongside what you might give up in the settlement. This gives you a clearer picture of which option makes sense for you.

What happens to my retirement accounts in a divorce?

Retirement accounts may be divided as part of your divorce settlement, and certain accounts require a court order, such as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), to complete the division. We help you understand the financial implications of your settlement and coordinate with the appropriate professionals to help ensure your accounts are handled properly.
