 “I began working as a divorce financial planner to correct perceived injustices in the legal system that failed families financially in the long term,” said Ms. Vasileff.  “I am honored to be recognized by my colleagues for my efforts to help couples and individuals become knowledgeable about and make good financial decisions in a time of personal crisis.”

 Lili’s passion came from her own personal experience as she faced the unknown in divorce as a single parent of two children, one of whom has special needs.  Lili was inspired early on to help empower women who had little financial experience, guidance or expertise to understand life changing financial decisions they were called upon to make during critical emotional period of transition in their lives.  Drawing upon her extensive financial expertise in finance and investments, Lili has helped to develop a professional niche that has led to an international movement and growth of thousands of divorce financial planners today. Lili listens to each of her client’s unique story and contributes knowledge and expertise in order to solve issues that may arise during and after the divorce process.
