Divorce Financial Coach: On-Demand Expert Guidance Service

A marketplace connecting individuals in marriage/divorce decisions with vetted financial coaches (not lawyers—CPAs, financial planners, divorce financial analysts) for 30-60 min video consultations ($150-$300 per session). Coaches help users understand asset division impact, tax consequences, retirement account splits, and spousal support scenarios specific to their situation. Users book coaches by expertise (tax-focused, retirement planning, business owner splits) and state.

SERVICE

32 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Provides personalized, expert guidance at 1/10th the cost of a lawyer retainer. Coaches focus on financial strategy, not legal representation, so they're cheaper and faster to engage. Users get specific, actionable advice (e.g., 'defer the ESPP sale 6 months for tax optimization') rather than generic legal information. Beats DIY calculators because it's human expertise; beats lawyers because it's affordable and focused.

Target Audience

High-net-worth individuals ($250k+ household income), business owners, those with complex assets (real estate, stock options, retirement accounts); people who need expert guidance but can't afford $5k+ retainer with a divorce lawyer.

Key Features

Marketplace with searchable coach profiles (credentials, specialties: business valuations, retirement splits, tax planning, real estate)
State filtering (coaches licensed/experienced in user's state)
Booking calendar with 24-48 hour availability
And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

React/Node.js for marketplace platform PostgreSQL for user, coach, and booking data Zoom API for video consultation integration Stripe Connect for payment processing and coach payouts

Original Problem

Individuals lack clear guidance on financial and legal consequences of marriage and divorce decisions

People facing marriage or divorce decisions struggle to understand the complex legal and financial implications (asset division, tax consequences, custody arrangements, spousal support) because information is fragmented across legal websites, forums, and outdated resources. Current solutions like generic legal websites and Stack Exchange Q&A don't provide personalized guidance for individual circumstances, forcing people to either hire expensive lawyers upfront or make uninformed decisions with costly consequences.
