🎧 Tune in now to get the insights you need to take back control!
Divorce doesn’t have to drain your bank account—or your sanity. If you think the only way to get divorced is by hiring expensive attorneys and battling it out in court, you’re not alone. We’ve been conditioned to believe that’s the norm. But what if there was a smarter, faster, and way more affordable option?
In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and exposing the better way to divorce: mediation. Too many people overlook this solution, and it’s costing them thousands of dollars (not to mention unnecessary stress). If you and your spouse are both working, not fighting over the kids, and just want to move on, there is absolutely no reason to spend big money on litigation. Mediation lets you sit down, reach an agreement, and walk away with your finances intact.
In this episode, we discuss:
✔️ The biggest misconceptions about divorce that could be draining your wallet
✔️ What mediation is—and why most people don’t realize it’s an option
✔️ Why you don’t need an attorney to enter mediation
✔️ How mediation works, who it’s best for, and when it may not be the right fit
✔️ The emotional and financial toll of litigation (and how mediation spares you from both)
✔️ What to look for in a mediator to ensure you get the best guidance
If you’re thinking about divorce (or in the middle of one), don’t make it harder and more expensive than it needs to be. This episode will open your eyes to a solution that could save you money, time, and emotional energy.
🎧 Tune in now and take control of your divorce the smart way!

What happens when life throws you a curveball, and it’s time to reassess your support obligations? Whether it’s child support or alimony, understanding how to navigate a change in circumstances is essential in these situations. In this episode, we’re cutting through the confusion and giving you a straightforward guide to modifying support obligations.

✅ Defining what qualifies as a substantial, permanent, and involuntary change in circumstances
✅ How alimony agreements can include pre-negotiated terms for changes, such as anti-Lepis clauses, and how they work
✅ Why negotiating with your ex before heading to court can save time and money
✅ What is a Case Information Statement?
✅ Essential documentation you must disclose if you want to modify support
✅ What happens after a qualifying change in circumstances is proven?
✅ The common mistakes that can undermine your case and how to avoid getting blindsided
✅ Other non-income-related scenarios that may qualify as a change in circumstances If you're considering requesting a modification or just want to be prepared for what the future might hold, this episode is packed with information to ensure your case is as strong as possible. Remember, preparation, communication, and the right guidance are key to protecting your interests and creating a path forward that works for you.
