Karen Mendez "Protecting Your Lifestyle in Life Changing Events" Comprehensive Wealth Planners Marriage and Divorce financial strategizing for traditional and non traditional individuals and couples San Diego-Santa Monica-Santa Barbara Personal experience led Karen Mendez to realize that all marriages end due to divorce or death and she decided she wanted to help others prepare for either outcome by doing financial planning for divorce and widowhood. She is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® dedicated to providing clients financial stability, hope and a clear way forward. She wants clients to start over smart and she helps them use their money to create happiness in their lives despite experiencing divorce or widowhood. Her philosophy is that while such experiences can be debilitating if clients focus on how best to utilize their resources instead of focusing on how life used to be they can realize although life is different than it was before; it can often be better. Karen works with attorneys; mediators, individuals and couples, helping them navigate through the morass of divorce and widowhood. Her expertise lies in understanding the special tax and financial issues that can plague divorce and she works to help clients get their financial fair share and equitable settlements.
