I'd never heard the term before -- and I had no idea there were so many ways to prepare financially for a divorce! Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas needed a financial neutral in "War of the Roses." :-) Thanks for the clarification between a financial advisor and a financial neutral, Lisa.

When a Financial Advisor, (in the information I gave I am referring to someone with specialized knowledge of Divorce Financial Planning), acts as a financial neutral they are essentially being just that...neutral. In other words, they do not represent either party, but are there to guide the individuals in making their own decisions, while bringing the financial advisor's knowledge and expertise to the table. They are there to help facilitate the process and help couples to understand any potential problems or pitfalls associated with their choices. Thank you for asking for further clarification.
