A bit more about Michael Graven, JD, CPA: Divorce is a complex and emotional process that can be overwhelming for those going through it. As a highly rated Divorce Law attorney with more than 30 years of experience, I work closely with my clients throughout the Chicagoland area to ensure that they are actively informed of every step in the process. Finding the solution that best serves the interests of my clients’ families is my number one priority. I represent people in all aspects of family law. My clients come to me with problems concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody), child support, property division, business valuation, finding hidden assets and income, paternity, domestic violence, adoption, and grandparents’ rights. Drawing upon my previous work experience as a Certified Public Account and tax attorney, I negotiate, and if required litigate, financial issues in matrimonial cases. I also handle prenuptial agreements for those planning to marry and postnuptial agreements for individuals who have already taken the big step. See the Practice Areas section for more details. Most divorce cases reach a conclusion through negotiation, and I have extensive experience reaching my clients’ goals without going through a long and costly court battle. In addition to negotiated settlements, I resolve through alternative dispute processes such as Collaborative Law and mediation in order to settle cases between disagreeing spouses. Some cases result in litigation, and I have extensive experience fighting for my clients in court. My goal is to help my clients make smart, clear-headed decisions. I approach every case with an open mind and take care to listen to my clients so that I can best meet their individual needs. My clients use words like “trustworthy,” “calm” and “empathetic” to describe me. I come from a family of lawyers. My father was also a divorce attorney, and I have been connected with the profession for decades. I am proud of my reputation as a tireless advocate for my clients. I am a Fellow in the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which is a select national group of attorneys acknowledged as prominent family law practitioners. I have also received the following honors for my work in Family Law: Recognized by the Leading Lawyers Network (2009-present) Named an Illinois Super Lawyer (2009-present). A Super Lawyer is considered the best in their profession and “represent the top 5% of the practicing attorneys in Illinois.” Received the highest rating from the Martindale-Hubbell® Lawyer Rating System, which denotes “adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.” Selected by my peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers In America© in the practice area of Family Law.

Spotting Financial Red Flags During Divorce - Tracy Coenen Today, Mardi Winder welcomes forensic accountant Tracy Coenen, who has spent more than 25 years investigating financial fraud and uncovering the secrets hidden in divorce finances. Tracy brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing why what you don’t know about the money in your marriage can absolutely hurt you during divorce, and how you can take proactive steps to protect yourself. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the thought of navigating joint accounts, credit cards, or potential “money shenanigans,” you’re not alone. Tracy explains how financial confusion is common and nothing to be ashamed of, especially if you weren’t the one managing the money in your relationship. She breaks down her practical approach to taking charge with her Divorce Money Guide, designed to put powerful tools and knowledge into the hands of everyday people, no advanced math skills required. Together, Tracy and Mardi dig into the common tactics used to hide assets, how to recognize signs of secret accounts, and what documents you need to gather when divorce is on the horizon. They touch on important topics like home equity lines of credit, early withdrawals from retirement accounts, and even cryptocurrency, debunking myths and sharing how to spot clues in financial records. If you suspect money is being hidden or moved, or you’re just trying to get your financial bearings, you’ll find step-by-step guidance and a reassuring message: you can take control and secure your future.  Plus, Tracy Coenen shares resources, including free tools and online courses, to help you get started, and offers advice on when it makes sense to invest in a forensic accountant or handle things yourself.  About the Guest Tracy Coenen has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could become a CPA… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.  For Tracy’s complimentary resource: https://divorcemoneyguide.com/plan/  To connect with Tracy: https://www.divorcemoneyguide.com
