  • Burning money questions, why investing in financial clarity beats guesswork in divorce.

    Burning money questions, why investing in financial clarity beats guesswork in divorce.
    Jun 25 2025
    Welcome to another behind-the-scenes episode of Divorce Explored, your unfiltered look at what really happens inside My Divorce Solution. In this episode, Catherine and Karen tackle the five most common — and misunderstood — money questions they hear from individuals considering or starting the divorce process. If you’ve ever wondered: "Can you just take a quick look at our agreement?" "Doesn’t my attorney already do this?" "Will I still need a forensic accountant?" "Isn’t our estate simple?" "Will my attorney work with you?" ...this episode is for you. Our co-founders explain why financial clarity isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Learn how lack of preparation leads to costly mistakes and emotional overwhelm, and why a proactive, data-driven approach saves you thousands while empowering you to make confident legal and financial decisions. "The Quick Look Myth": What sounds fair on paper rarely accounts for taxes, long-term consequences, or unforeseen life events. Legal ≠ Financial: Attorneys are not financial analysts. Without financial clarity, you’re navigating blind. Forensics Isn’t Always the Fix: Most clients don’t need one — they just need to be prepared. Simplicity Is Deceptive: Even “simple” cases often hide six-figure surprises. Collaboration with Attorneys: MDS works with — not against — your legal team, setting the foundation for informed negotiation.
