Matrimonial Matters

Divorce proceedings can often be expedited once each party’s short- and long-term employability and earning potential are evaluated. Conway Scanlan & Associates can assess an individual to determine realistic expectations of a spouses' present and future employability, placability, and earning capacity. In cases of divorce in which a spouse has been out of the workplace for a number of years, we analyze education and prior work history along with the local labor market. This helps determine whether there is need for further education or training to help position the individual as a marketable candidate in a competitive work environment.
