Stephanie Maloney, CFP™, CDFA™

Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP), Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA)

Stephanie Maloney was one of the first practicing divorce financial planners in the Los Angeles area.  Maloney offers problem solving on a wide range of financial issues relating to divorce.  With her new business venture, Los Angeles Divorce Solutions, Maloney brings conflict reduction and low-fee divorce answers to Los Angeles County.

 ioTaping on her years of experience, Maloney assists her mediation clients make solid choices for divorce settlement. She helps determine the short-term and long-term financial impact of proposed divorce settlements, offers valuable insight into the pros and cons of different proposals, and helps avoid the common financial pitfalls of divorce. Stephanie is also available for private coaching on financial issues, negotiating, and high conflict dispute resolution.

Maloney believes that her work helps bring about amicable solutions to the problems at hand.  Much like the dissolution of a business partnership, both parties can leave the table feeling as if they had achieved their goals and not depart adversaries, thus avoiding future conflicts.

She completed the training with the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst in 1999.  Maloney has taken Collaborative Divorce Training™, completed 30 hours of mediation training in 2005 and 40 hours of divorce mediation training in 2007.  In 2008, Maloney provided coaching for mediation training programs for Mosten Mediation, Peace Talks and an advanced program for Dispute Resolution Services, a nonprofit corporation of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. In 2008, Maloney became certified to teach the High Conflict Diversion Program™. The High Conflict Diversion Program™ is a resource for parents in high conflict divorce, offering strategies to help them reduce the conflict related to their custody issues.
