Harry Pappas Jr., CFP®, Managing Director-Investments Attains Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Designation™
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida (PRWEB) January 30, 2015 -- The Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA) has recognized Harry Pappas Jr., CFP® as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA). Harry completed an extensive four-module course, eight hours of exams and is one of approximately 5,000 professionals in the U.S. and Canada to become a CDFA. On-going continuing education is required to maintain certification.
“If you’ve noticed more commercials for divorce lawyers airing on local TV channels recently, there’s good reason,” says Pappas. According to a 2014 Men’s Health Survey Jacksonville, Florida is the sixth worst city for marriage (highest divorce rate) in the United States. “Transitioning from married to unmarried is often a difficult and challenging process emotionally and financially. It is critical for people going through divorce to understand the financial implications of decisions regarding property, child support and spousal support," Pappas says. As a CDFA™, Pappas works closely with clients, their attorneys and CPAs to determine the short-term and long-term financial impact of a proposed divorce settlement.
The CDFA™ designation is the only comprehensive divorce-planning designation listed by the CFP™ Board (The Board of Certified Financial Planners™) in its listing of professional certification programs. CDFA™ professionals are in high demand as more than two million North Americans will divorce this year, and 100% of those divorces involve financial settlements.
