Divorce Mediation Done Differently

Some divorce mediators cram complex, high-asset divorce mediations into one day, leaving both parties exhausted and stressed. Take a deep breath and take mediation at a less stressful pace with the team at Torchlight Resolutions.

On day one, we get both parties to agree on the marital balance sheet. That’s it. From there, we tackle division of assets, custody and domestic matters, then finalization.

Getting everyone on the same page upfront makes for a much less contentious mediation. That’s not to say we can’t take the other approach. Just say we didn’t warn you.

Assistance for Attorneys in Reaching Complex Resolutions

Divorce with complex assets in the mix can get, well, complex. The Torchlight team are experts at identifying and defining the up-to-the-minute value of complex assets, so your attorney can negotiate a fair agreement for the next chapter of your life.

Expert Testimony

We arm your attorney with the cold hard facts they need to advocate for you. And when the judge needs more help to understand those facts, we’re on deck to paint the impartial picture. Torchlight can testify honestly so the judge can reach a prudent decision for both parties.

Marital State Analysis Sessions With Attorneys

Gathering evidence, drafting and reviewing marital balance sheets, sniffing out hidden or non-obvious assets — we have your attorney’s back as they prepare to go to court. We also check their work or the work of other experts on appraising businesses, real estate and pensions, so no stone is left unturned.

Divorce Support

Domestic Relations

Divorce is about more than just the division of assets, it’s also about making sure your children get the support they deserve in their new family structure. Torchlight can help your attorney navigate custody, parenting time, child support, education expenses and other domestic matters.

Complex Assets

High-value assets can come with long-term tax implications. Torchlight lays out all of the complex assets involved in the divorce to make a prudent plan for both sides — with no surprises at tax time. We untangle the web of annuities, pensions, stock units, stock options, ESOPs and more.

Complex Pay Structures

Just like complex assets, C-suite pay structures can be awfully complicated if you don’t know what to look for. Torchlight helps your attorney make heads or tails of complex pay structures including deferred compensation, commissions, reserve stock units and performance stock units.

College Expenses

Between 529 Plans, Coverdell ESAs, UTMAs, financial aid and other costs of education, there’s a lot of money tied up in a college-aged child’s education. In addition to defining and dividing costs fairly between the two parents, Torchlight helps parents understand their student’s own financial responsibility for their education — and navigate their new FAFSA opportunities.

Complex Child Support Matters

You probably want to make sure that your child can live comfortably while they get their feet under them. At the same time, you don’t want to pay more into child support than you can afford. Torchlight can help you reach a resolution that’s fair for your tax bracket and your lifestyle.

Overseas Travel and Events

Traveling with a child post-divorce isn’t always as simple as “pack a bag and go.” Torchlight can help you understand the insurance policies, bonds and international conventions that you’ll need to navigate in the hopes that an agreement can be reached before a judge has to decide.

Asset Valuations for Divorce

Pensions

Pensions are a hard-earned benefit, and they carry a lot of nuance in a divorce. The team at Torchlight understands the present-day valuation of pensions, how that money will grow over time, and how and if a pension can be divided as part of divorce mediation.

Stock Options

If all that chicken scratch doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t sweat it. We understand the math behind stock options and their implications in divorce.

Spousal Maintenance

Creating a maintenance plan to support a spouse after divorce is a delicate balancing act. With decades of expertise and a bit of creativity, the Torchlight team can help negotiate a plan for temporary, permanent or rehabilitative maintenance that helps you get back on your feet.

Financial Forecasting After Divorce

When your divorce is in the rear-view mirror, you still have a long, rewarding road ahead of you in life. We can help you make a sound plan for your financial resources as you prepare for the journey ahead.
