FAMSEG: The Family Law Section eNews July 2026

1. Tell us about your company and the services you provide to family law attorneys and their clients.

   
   

   At Soman Forensic & Valuation CPAs, our job is to help attorneys and their clients make better financial decisions during divorce.

   
   

   We specialize in financially complex family law matters involving business valuation, income determination, tracing, equitable distribution, tax issues, and expert testimony. More importantly, we help determine which financial issues are likely to matter and which probably won't so attorneys and clients can focus their time and resources where they'll have the greatest impact.

   
   

2. What sets your company apart, or what's something about your services that family law practitioners might not know to ask about?

   
   

   Communication and Judgment.

   
   

   Our clients and referral attorneys always know where their case stands, what we're working on, and what comes next.

   
   

   Just as importantly, we continually evaluate whether additional work is likely to create meaningful value. Sometimes the best advice we can give is that an issue simply isn't likely to materially affect the outcome of the case.

3. What trends are you seeing in your industry that family law attorneys should be paying attention to?

   
   

   Beyond AI, I think the profession is becoming more focused on proportionality.

   
   

   I've seen clients spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars litigating financial issues that ultimately had very little impact on the outcome of their case.

   
   

   The best attorneys and experts are increasingly asking a different question:

   "Will resolving this issue materially change the economics of the case?"

   
   

   That mindset leads to better outcomes because it keeps everyone focused on the issues that truly matter.

4. What do you wish more family law attorneys understood about working with financial planners/investment managers versus forensic accountants?

   
   

   Financial planners and investment managers aren't trying to answer the same questions as forensic accountants. On the right cases, having both professionals involved can be highly complementary.

   
   

   A forensic accountant determines the financial facts that affect the outcome of the divorce. A financial planner helps clients understand what those facts mean for their financial future.

   
   

   I've seen financial planners play an instrumental role in helping clients become comfortable with settlement options because they could finally visualize life after the divorce. That perspective can be invaluable and often helps move difficult cases toward resolution.
