If you're going through a divorce in the Spokane area, I want to help.
I'm Leanne Ozaine, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with 20 years of experience. My office is right here in Spokane, and this is the only city where I meet with clients in person.
I know how overwhelming this feels. You don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out.
Two-thirds of divorce is about money
Your attorney handles the legal side. They negotiate terms, file motions, represent you in court. That's what they're trained for. But they're not building financial models. They're not calculating whether you can actually afford the house you're fighting for, or tracing 20 years of retirement contributions to separate what's marital from what's not.
That's what I do. I help you gather your financial information, understand your numbers, and know the right questions to ask. I can help draft settlement proposals that reflect reality, not just what sounds fair on paper. And I work cooperatively with your attorney so the legal strategy and the financial analysis support each other.
A Certified Divorce Financial Analyst handles the part your attorney isn't trained for. That's me.
What Washington law means for your finances
Washington is one of nine community property states. Here's what that means for you:
- All income earned and assets acquired during marriage are community property (owned 50/50)
- Property owned before marriage, inheritances, and gifts are considered separate property
- Separate property can become community property through commingling (mixing it with marital funds)
- The court aims for a "just and equitable" division, which doesn't always mean exactly 50/50
- Retirement accounts, pensions, and stock options acquired during marriage are divisible
- The family home's equity is community property even if only one name is on the deed
"Just and equitable" requires someone who can calculate what equitable actually means in dollars. That's my job.

How to get started
There's no single right way to begin. It depends on where you are in the process.
The Private Sessions $97
This might be right for you if you're early in the process and want to educate yourself before making any moves. Eight audio episodes and a workbook where I walk you through the financial side of divorce, what to gather, what to watch for, and how to think about your settlement. The first three episodes are free.
