MEET OUR TEAM

Melissa Océan, CFP®, CDFA®, MAFF®

I am the Chief Executive Officer of a specialty wealth management boutique firm and the founder of DSG (Divorce Strategies Group). DSG was established in 2010 to demonstrate my commitment to providing the highest level of professionalism and personal attention in divorce matters with an emphasis on lifestyle analysis.

I have been in the financial advisory and services business since 1992; earning my CDFA® designation in 2004, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation in 2007, and most recently obtaining in 2013 the designation of Master Analyst in Financial Forensics®. I am locally and nationally recognized and respected for my focus on guiding clients through the financial transition of divorce and am the advisor of choice for many family law cases.

I have contributed articles to the NFLR (Nevada Family Law Review) publication and lecture to the legal and financial communities. In March 2013, I co-presented at the Nevada Family Law Conference regarding Special Needs. I maintain memberships with the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts and the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts.

I currently serve as an investment consultant to various individuals and their businesses. Additionally, historically serving as nonprofit Treasurer and Investment Committee Chair. I started my career in Tucson, Arizona after obtaining my bachelor’s degree from the University of Arizona.

As a parent myself, I understand the rising need to assist in the financial mentorship to generations to come – a true gift.

I enjoy an active lifestyle participating in half marathons, indoor cycling, travel, and walks on the beach, all to maintain a life that is balanced and abundant.

INDIA KERN
Certified Divorce Coach

Divorce can feel like your whole world is unraveling. I work with individuals who are overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unsure of what steps to take next.

My role is to bring clarity to the chaos by providing:

  • Emotional support
  • Mental preparation for the business of divorce
  • A strategic game plan tailored to your unique situation

My goal? To help you move through this chapter with strength, confidence, and peace of mind—which is truly priceless.

Because when it comes to divorce, you have a choice: Get bitter, or get better. I help you get better!

Our process can be done in a more peaceful, educated and financially holistic healing manner. We prepare like we’re going to trial, so we won’t have to. Mediation instead of trial?
