The divorce plan that you created for me was invaluable for my peace of mind and as a negotiation tool in the mediation process--I would highly recommend anyone who is going through a divorce to use your services. I was a nervous wreck and it was because of you and your work that I could sleep at night. Your plan financially benefited me as well getting me the alimony I very much needed. Now I will be able to complete my masters degree and earn more income to support me and my sons. It is because of your plan that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I appreciate you being there to walk me through it all.

Having a team of skilled professionals on your divorce team is one of the most important decisions you can make for your life after divorce. A Certified Divorce Planning Specialist is one such skilled professional. I had never used a Certified Divorce Planning Professional ("CDPP") in any of my previous divorce cases until I used Ryan Leahy and his Institute in a recent case (Divorce Planning Institute of Texas). Ryan spent a considerable amount of time interview and working with our client to prepare a divorce plan with several possible outcomes in preparation for an upcoming mediation. I have always found that managing a client's expectations during a divorce is one of the most difficult tasks but both Ryan's sound advice to the client and preparation of a very detailed and thorough plan assisted me greatly in managing my client's expectations and also providing security in our client's life after divorce. Ryan shares that same focus on life after divorce and his plan benefited greatly in helping my client's spouse understand how having liquidity on my client's side of the equation would benefit their children. Ryan's service increases the value I can provide my clients and I look forward to continuing to work with Ryan who is a skilled professional I want on my divorce team.
