Northeast Divorce Settlement Consultants, LLC (NDSC) was established in 2012 as a subsidiary of Seascape Capital Management, LLC by Monica McCarthy, CFA®, CDFA®, CPWA®, CEPA®.

Divorcing individuals face overwhelming decisions while going through a traumatic time in their lives. We have seen even the most financially sophisticated individuals regret the choices they made during a divorce simply because they didn’t have access to the specialized financial services we offer at Northeast Divorce Settlement Consultants, LLC. 

We analyze our clients financial needs and work with their legal counsel to help secure the best economic outcome for our clients.
