In this episode of the Akiona Law podcast, Ululani “Lani”  Akiona speaks with Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and owner of Serene Divorce Planning, Jesse Deason.

Jesse explains how financial neutrals use "what-if" modeling to help clients in Collaborative Divorce navigate real estate and cash flow considerations. She outlines the essential prep work required, from gathering tax returns to building a realistic post-divorce budget. While Jesse emphasizes the value of neutrals for complex assets such as equity compensation, she also clarifies when a simpler case might not need one. The conversation highlights how professional financial guidance provides clarity and confidence during a difficult life transition.
