Divorce Planning FAQs for San Ramon
Common questions from clients planning for the next chapter.
Why is financial planning important during divorce in San Ramon?
San Ramon families often manage multiple income streams, stock compensation, and valuable real estate. These assets—and how they’re divided—can have major tax and long-term planning implications. We help clients understand the big picture, so decisions made during divorce don’t create unnecessary hardship later. With a local focus and financial expertise, we help you protect your future.
Can you help divide RSUs or unvested stock options?
Yes. Many professionals in San Ramon work in tech, biotech, or finance, and equity compensation is a significant part of their wealth. We break down how stock options and RSUs vest, how to evaluate them, and how to structure division proposals that are fair, tax-efficient, and strategic.
What’s the best option for the family home?
That depends. We model scenarios based on whether you sell the home, refinance, or retain it through a buyout. In San Ramon, where property values are high, making the right choice can dramatically affect your post-divorce financial stability. Our role is to give you the clarity to decide with confidence.
Do you coordinate with divorce attorneys?
Absolutely. We work with family law attorneys throughout San Ramon and Contra Costa County. We provide financial documentation, modeling, and strategy that can help attorneys build stronger cases—and help you negotiate from a position of clarity.
What happens if I wait too long to involve a financial planner?
Even if your divorce is well underway, we can still add value. That said, the earlier we’re involved, the more proactive we can be in shaping your outcomes. Starting early helps you understand your options and prevents rushed or misinformed decisions that could affect your future.
