The ADFP Has Done It Again!

 

As part of our current public relations initiative, the Association of Divorce Financial Planners has once again been recognized as a resource for identifying and locating divorce financial planners across the United States.

 

According to the August 15th Nolo’s Divorce, Custody and Family Law Blog, “To find a DVP [divorce financial planner], ask your attorney if they’re using one. Or, go to the website of the Association of Divorce Financial Planners or the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts and find a DVP in your area.”

 

 

What the ADFP is and What It is Not

(An excerpt from a working draft of the ADFP Chapter Organizational Manual)

 

·         The ADFP is a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) association run by its members through a democratically-elected Board of Directors.

·         It is not a business and has no profit motive.

·         We consider the ADFP to be the voice of the profession, including allied divorce professionals supportive of integrating divorce financial planning into the divorce process.

·         We believe a strong unified voice representing our members will help us achieve our mission of making divorce financial planning and integral part of the divorce process.

·         We believe it is essential to operate at both local and national levels

·         We believe it is essential to embrace allied divorce professionals, welcome them into the association and work cooperatively with other divorce associations or entities.

·         The ADFP is an independent entity and is not affiliated or competing with the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA), the Academy of Financial Divorce Practitioners (AFDP) or any company, school or organization offering divorce financial training or otherwise operating within the field of divorce.

·         We are supportive of the IDFA and AFDP and strongly believe they provide an important and valuable service to the divorce and financial planning communities.

·         Many of our members have earned CDFA or CFDP designations. We strongly urge similar designees to join and become actively involved in the ADFP, at both the local and national levels.
