Meet DeLynn Shogren

Founder & Financially Focused Divorce Strategist

"There has to be a better way."

That simple thought became the foundation of A Better Way Divorce Solutions LLC.

After spending more than two decades helping individuals and families build wealth, prepare for retirement, and make confident financial decisions, I saw firsthand how divorce could quickly unravel years of careful planning. Too often, couples were left overwhelmed by conflict, confused by complex financial issues, and unsure where to turn for guidance.

I believed there had to be a better way—one that focused on education instead of fear, collaboration instead of conflict, and thoughtful planning instead of costly mistakes.

That belief became my mission.

Today, I help individuals and couples navigate one of life's most significant transitions with financial clarity, compassionate guidance, and practical solutions designed to protect both their future and the relationships that continue beyond the divorce.

I don't believe divorce is about "winning."

I believe it's about helping people make informed decisions they can live with long after the divorce is final.

My philosophy has always been simple:

Help couples divide their assets based on need, not greed, while preserving the portion of their relationship that continues beyond the divorce.

Whether you choose our comprehensive flat-fee program or need guidance with a single issue, my commitment remains the same.

I'll take the time to listen, answer your questions, explain your options, and help you understand the financial and practical impact of every decision before you make it.

Because I believe the best divorce settlements aren't built on pressure or fear.

They're built on knowledge, understanding, and thoughtful decisions that allow you to move forward with confidence.

I look forward to helping you discover a better way through divorce.

"If you're looking for someone who will take the time to educate you, listen without judgment, and help you make thoughtful decisions that support your future, I'd be honored to help."
