Violet P. Woodhouse, APC
A certified Family Law Specialist and a Certified Financial Planner™, Violet P. Woodhouse has become one of the nation’s leading authorities on divorce through her unique combination of family law expertise and financial knowledge. “This dual certification gives me an added edge in dealing with many dissolution matters,” she notes, “as it provides me with a greater understanding of the financial and tax aspects of a case.”
Woodhouse received her financial planning certification from the University of Southern California College for Financial Planning in 1986. By the time she graduated from the Western State University College of Law in 1993, she had already gained a deep understanding of the financial implications of divorce: “Initially as a Certified Financial Planner™ I prepared tax analysis on the consequences of dividing property and assets under different scenarios,” she explains. “So becoming a family law attorney was an expansion of the work I was already performing.” In 1997, she received her certification as a family law specialist from the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.
In addition to being a skilled trial attorney, negotiator, and financial advisor, Woodhouse is a noted author, educator, and speaker. Her Nolo bestseller, “Divorce & Money: How to Make the Best Financial Decisions During Divorce,” was described by New York Newsday as “the most comprehensive financial planning guide for divorcing couples available,” and she has been widely quoted in many prominent national publications. “The key to my longevity is that I enjoy working with clients and handling their complex issues,” Woodhouse says of her 20-year career. “It’s always rewarding to see my clients grow and become better people.”
