Divorce is not only a legal matter. It is also one of the most important financial events a person may face.

At Utah Divorce Analyst, we help individuals, families, and attorneys make informed financial decisions during divorce. As a Utah divorce financial analyst practice based in Sandy, Utah, our work is grounded in a simple reality: a settlement can look fair on paper while leading to very different financial outcomes over time. That is why we focus on the financial details that can affect stability, security, and long-term planning long after the divorce is finalized.

Utah Divorce Analyst was founded to bring a more practical, financially informed perspective to the divorce process. We help clients understand the real-world impact of decisions involving property division, retirement accounts, pensions, taxes, spousal support, child support, cash flow, and the long-term affordability of major assets such as the marital home. Our goal is to help clients avoid costly mistakes and make decisions that support a more stable financial future.

Utah Divorce Analyst is led by W. Earl Webster, CPA, Esq., CDFA. Earl is both a certified public accountant and an attorney, with 25 years as a CPA, 12 years in private law practice that included divorce cases and family-law-related research, and a background in tax planning and Utah family law. His CDFA work is a way to combine that legal and financial experience to help clients pursue a more equitable division of assets and liabilities.

That combination matters because the financial side of divorce is often more complex than it first appears.

Important questions can include:

These are not side issues. They can shape a person’s financial life for years to come.

Many people begin the divorce process with an attorney, which is understandable. But divorce also involves major financial decisions, and those decisions are often made under stress, uncertainty, and emotional pressure. The site’s existing CDFA content emphasizes that emotional strain can interfere with rational financial decision-making and that mistakes made during divorce can create a permanent financial disadvantage.

That is where a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst can provide meaningful value.

A CDFA helps clients and their lawyers understand how financial decisions made during divorce may affect a client’s future. This includes issues such as marital versus separate property, valuation and division of assets, retirement and pensions, support obligations, tax consequences, and whether keeping the house is financially realistic. Additionally a CDFA can provide financial data showing the effect of a proposed settlement, assist with mediation preparation, support discovery, and in some cases serve as an expert witness.

We believe divorce financial planning should be clear, practical, and grounded in facts and data.

Our work is designed to help clients:

When appropriate, we also work alongside divorce attorneys and other professionals to provide financial analysis that supports stronger decision-making throughout the case.

Utah Divorce Analyst serves clients from its office at 9942 Electra Lane in Sandy, Utah.

Our Mission

Our mission is straightforward: to help clients avoid preventable financial mistakes during divorce.

Too often, people agree to terms that seem reasonable in the moment without fully understanding the impact on taxes, liquidity, long-term affordability, or overall financial security.
