Melissa Gragg- Divorce Mediator
Certified Divorce Financial Analyst
It all started when…
I realized that divorce is not good or bad - it is a CHOICE. We all deserve to choose to stay with the person or leave, and there should be a way we can make these choices without fighting and without spending all of our savings.
People really do want the option of getting divorced outside of court and still get along well enough to provide for their family and make decisions for their kids.
I was already being hired as the ONE valuation expert to come in and let the couple know how much the business is worth. But in a divorce there are more “numbers” than just the company valuation, so I help the couple understand the full financial picture.
Divorce is taking one household and dividing it into two. Which means we need to understand what income and expenses will the couple have individually and how can it work for both people.
I provide financial services to people going through divorce mediation, collaborative divorce or litigation. I work with people in Missouri, Illinois and around the country by utilizing online systems and web conferencing with video.
