Natalie Nelson, MBA, CDFA™, CFP®
Mediator
Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA)

All too often the statistics of divorce hit close to home with one out of two marriages ending in divorce. Divorce often times brings financial difficulty to both parties and, when there are children involved, can irreparably strain family relationships. Both situations can lead to a lifetime of hardships which Natalie is committed to helping individuals and couples prevent. In Colorado individuals have a wide array of choices in pursuing their divorce: pro se (without attorney representation), mediation, collaboration and litigation. Natalie has been trained to provide assistance throughout any of these processes.

With a 20 year background in finance and a trained mediator she works with individuals by educating and empowering them in order to answer the questions: "Will I be OK after divorce?" and "How do I know what is fair." Divorcing individuals need to understand the overall financial impacts of their decisions at a time in their lives when emotions may impair good judgment. She helps individuals and couples by addressing their financial and family concerns, allowing the opportunity for a knowledgeable and fair settlement.

Natalie is a Professional Mediator of the Colorado Council of Mediators, a member of the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts (IDFA), Colorado Bar Association and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. She is a Regional Director for the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts. She has presented nationally on Integrating Financial Concepts into Divorce Mediation and Advanced Techniques in Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Natalie has been featured nationally in the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Bloomberg Wealth Manager, Robb Report Worth, on Bloomberg Financial Network, CNBC and CNN Financial. Closer to home she has had coverage in the Denver Post, Boulder Daily Camera , Boulder County Business Report, Women's Magazine, on Channel 9 KUSA Television (an NBC Affiliate) and various local radio programs.
