Planning for a child with special needs can feel overwhelming—especially in the middle of a divorce or major family transition. In this episode of Civility Wins: Family Law Edition, attorney Kristen Goss, Esq., sits down with Jordan Niefeld, CPA, CFP®, a financial planner with Raymond James, to break down how families can protect their children, preserve critical government benefits, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Together, Kristen and Jordan talk about what it really looks like to plan for a lifetime of support: from special needs trusts, SSI, and Medicaid to guardian advocacy vs. full guardianship to building what Jordan calls a “confidence plan”—a living roadmap that answers the biggest question parents have: “Are we going to be okay?” You’ll also hear Jordan’s personal connection to the special needs community through his father’s decades of work as a special needs teacher and how that shaped his passion for serving families with children who have unique abilities. The conversation also explores how collaboration between family law attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors can give families true peace of mind during divorce, estate planning, and beyond. 🔹 In this episode, we cover: Why resolving special needs cases outside of court is often best for the child and the family How special needs trusts work and why they’re essential to protect SSI and Medicaid Common mistakes that can accidentally jeopardize government benefits The difference between guardian advocacy and full guardianship when a child turns 18 What a confidence plan is and how it helps answer, “Will I be okay financially after divorce?” The importance of working with professionals who truly understand special needs planning How giving back to the community shapes Jordan’s approach to wealth, purpose, and joy 🔹 About our guest – Jordan Niefeld, CPA, CFP® Jordan is a Miami-born CPA and Certified Financial Planner with Raymond James who focuses on: Investment planning and tax mitigation strategies Risk management and estate planning coordination Special needs planning for families Exit planning and value enhancement for business owners Learn more or contact Jordan: 🌐 Website: jordaniefeld.com 📞 Office: 305-682-2434 🔹 About your host—Kristen Goss, Esq.
