Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) Program — Course Description
The Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA®) Program prepares experienced financial and divorce professionals to become specialists in the financial complexities of divorce. Divorce Financial Planning applies the principles of financial planning specifically to divorce settlement strategies, requiring a deep understanding of how tax, retirement, insurance, property, and cash flow decisions intersect during divorce—and how those decisions shape a client’s long-term financial future.
Through this comprehensive, self-paced program, participants gain the expertise needed to help divorcing clients and their legal teams fully understand settlement options and their financial consequences. The curriculum explores a wide range of divorce-related financial topics, including divorce laws and procedures, marital versus separate property, pensions and retirement plans, options for the marital home, child and spousal support fundamentals, tax considerations related to asset division and property transfers, debt and credit issues, bankruptcy considerations, and more.

The program includes all required reading materials, interactive learning modules, videos, case studies, quizzes, and exam preparation resources—all accessible digitally.
