Johnson Investment Counsel wealth advisor talking with a female client.

Divorce is both an ending and a beginning. We’re here to help you move forward with financial peace of mind.

The financial impact of divorce can be complex — from managing your finances to restructuring wealth and planning for long-term security on your own. At Johnson Investment Counsel, we specialize in helping clients navigate these transitions with empathy, clarity, and support. Our team meets you where you are, providing full-service financial planning as you reshape your life.

  • Compassionate, practical guidance. We don’t just crunch numbers. We know the financial impact of divorce is tightly intertwined with emotional and life goals.
  • A fiduciary you can trust. As an independent RIA, we are legally bound to put your interests first – we understand trust is built over time through honesty and reliability.
  • A seasoned team behind you. From wealth advisors to trust officers and estate attorneys, we work together so your next steps are clear and coordinated.
  • Decades of navigating change. Since 1965, we’ve helped clients navigate both expected and unexpected turns.

How we help — clear steps, gentle pace

  1. We listen first. Your advisor begins by hearing your story and immediate concerns — no rush, no pressure.
  2. We stabilize what matters. We’ll help identify access to cash, benefits, and any immediate financial protections so you’re not surprised.
  3. We craft an interim plan. Short-term liquidity and practical next steps (so you can breathe).
  4. We build the long-term plan. Investment strategy, tax planning, retirement income, estate updates — all aligned with your priorities.
  5. We stay with you. Plans evolve. We monitor, adjust, and remain a consistent resource.

If you’re interested in exploring how divorce can impact long-term financial planning, you may also enjoy our blog on divorce financial planning. It offers guidance on how to protect your assets, make informed investment decisions, and plan for a confident financial future after a major life transition.

We have been guiding clients through these life changes for 60 years. We are here to listen to your unique story and find solutions that work for you.
