Orfordville, WI608-445-515

As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Certified Divorce Coach®, Transition and Recovery Specialist®, Certified Divorce Sppecialist®, and a Nationally Certified Mediation Professional, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate the complex and emotionally challenging process of divorce. With nearly two decades of experience in the financial services field as a financial advisor and a financial education trailblazer for women, I am passionate about empowering my clients to emerge from divorce emotionally and financially intact. My passion for helping others through divorce stems from my own personal experiences with the process. After going through a difficult divorce myself, I realized that there were very few resources available to help individuals navigate the financial and emotional complexities of divorce. Determined to help others avoid the same challenges I faced, I dedicated myself to becoming an expert in the field. As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I am uniquely equipped to help clients understand the financial implications of divorce, including property division, potential tax implications, and the financial impact of all possible divorce settlement scenarios. I work closely with clients to develop customized post-divorce financial plans that take into account their unique circumstances and goals, helping them to emerge from divorce with their financial futures intact. This gives my clients the clarity to advocate for a fair divorce settlement. In addition to my financial expertise, I am also a Certified Divorce Coach and Transition and Recovery Specialist. Through my coaching services, I help clients navigate the emotional challenges of divorce, providing them with the support, guidance, and tools they need to rebuild their lives with confidence and clarity. My compassionate and personalized approach helps clients come out the other side of divorce feeling empowered and ready to move forward. As a Nationally Certified Mediation Professional, I specialize in conscious uncoupling mediation, guiding couples through a respectful and cooperative process to resolve conflicts and reach mutually beneficial agreements. My mediation strategy focuses on open communication, empathy, and collaboration, ensuring that both parties feel heard and valued. By helping couples retain control over their family’s outcomes, I foster a more positive and constructive divorce experience. One of the things that sets me apart is my commitment to building a strong relationship with each and every client. I understand that divorce is a deeply personal and emotional process, and I take the time to get to know my clients on a personal level so that I can offer them the most effective support possible. Outside of work, I love to travel and enjoy exploring new cultures and cuisines. I am also dedicated to enriching the community through my volunteer work and have served on the board of several local non-profits.

Family Law Attorney

Pennington, NJ609-730-3850

I understand the complex and emotional nature of divorce. I also appreciate that divorce impacts each client differently. My understanding coupled with my experience and knowledge of the nuances of family law allows me to craft creative and personalized solutions to the numerous issues that may arise during a divorce. Although I believe that family law issues, especially custody and parenting time disputes, should be resolved amicably, I have ample experience litigating cases involving complex child custody and parenting time, as well as relocation. I am a zealous advocate for my clients in the courtroom but remain compassionate and sensitive to the importance of maintaining the best interests of the children throughout the litigation. I have extensive experience in alternative dispute resolution as I am trained and participate in collaborative law divorces. I am an active member of and have also served as President of the Mid-Jersey Collaborative Law Alliance. I am qualified as a mediator under New Jersey Court Rule 1:40. This training gives me the knowledge and experience to help clients understand the core issues of their disputes and helps reach a reasonable resolution.

MBA, CFP®, CDFA®

Newark, DE619-354-947

After watching my parents go through a divorce at a young age, and going through a tremendously expensive and emotionally-draining one myself in 2017, I launched Allegiant Divorce Solutions as a sister company to my traditional financial planning firm. I recognize the challenges people face as they decide how to handle their finances relating to divorce. My parents struggled and it was challenging for me, too. Looking back, there were mistakes I made during my own divorce that could have been avoided had I had the support of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst ®. At present, armed with this ever-growing knowledge and almost 20 years of financial planning experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate the complex aspects of divorce and gain a fair settlement, with much less stress.

Victoria Kirilloff

Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and Family Financial Mediator

Santa Monica, CA402.430.3092

Victoria Kirilloff, CDFA®, NCPM®, CDS® was at a crossroads; she could not stay with her partner but did not know how to leave, and the relationship was getting more and more abusive. Victoria’s decade-long partnership had far exceeded its expiration date, but they were deeply financially entwined. Searching for a pathway to freedom, Victoria went back to her roots of financial analysis and report writing (which is how she got her first horse). Victoria created the first Divorce Impact Analysis report which laid out the marital financial facts and different settlement ideas. After a shockingly productive conversation, Victoria and her former partner came to a resolution and peacefully separated. That’s when a lightbulb went off in Victoria’s head! Victoria realized that she could not only help others leave their timed-out marriages but also guide them to becoming financially empowered in the process. Determined to bring a modern peaceful approach to the divorce process, Victoria founded Divorce Analytics. Divorce Analytics focuses on bringing financial clarity and transparency to the divorce process and illustrates the real-world impact of proposed settlements. By concentrating on the financial facts, Victoria shifts the divorce process from destructive to productive. Victoria is a lifelong learner and spends most of her free time increasing her knowledge base. In addition to being a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, a Certified Divorce Specialist®, and Nationally Certified Professional Mediator ®, Victoria holds several other different financial services licenses and designations.
