Math modeling matters in divorce to both parties - it's the 'on the page' view of how each party will fare financially under a particular settlement and on what financial foundation they will build going forward.

Bonnie has been working with families and individuals since 1990 and earned her Certified Financial Planner designation in 1992. She also earned the Accredited Investment Fiduciary, AIF®, designation and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst designation, CDFA™. She served 3 years on the National Board for the Financial Planning Association, served on the Foundation for Financial Planning board, and served as President on the Board of Directors for the non-profit Loudoun Therapeutic Riding. She has also been a volunteer advisor for families in the Building Homes for Heroes program. Bonnie earned a Master’s degree in Financial Planning and keeps current through at least 30 hours of professional continuing education each year.
