Fee based financial planner?

[Anonymous]

I've posted here before about how to deal with a spouse who's overspending. I downloaded statements going back 12 months and it's even worse than I'd thought. DH has spent about 30k on hobbies. I am concerned that there is an underlying mental health issue, and feel like it would be more effective to have a third party have a come to Jesus with him. Result was overspending by $34k and finding it to be a stretch to max out 401k and HSA. I also am inheriting what is, for me, a lot of money, and this overspending makes me want to keep it out of his hands. It's sad on many levels. In some ways, the money itself is not the worst part.

Would appreciate suggestions on how to find the right person to hire as an advisor.
