Certified Financial Divorce Practitioner - CFDP

This is a divorce mediator...the guy in the tie who attempts to divide up assets and provides financial planning services to both parties involved. This individual can provide financial advice to divorce attorneys to help provide an equitable outcome for both spouses. The information offered by a CFDP is used by attorneys to build their divorce proposals on issues ranging from alimony and child support to the split of assets and child custody.

Now...get this. If you want to become one of these mercenaries, you have to get ten weeks of training from a place called the Academy of Financial Divorce Practitioners. Sounds like a great school, and their football team throws the best parties.
