Looking for divorce advice for women? You’re in the right place.
For us women, divorce isn’t just about ending a marriage. It's about securing our financial future and stepping into a new chapter with confidence.
And while no divorce is easy, avoiding common pitfalls can make all the difference in securing your financial future. In this guide, I'm revealing the three biggest mistakes I see in women’s divorce—and exactly how you can steer clear of them.
Let’s dive in! 💪
Divorce Advice for Women from a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®: Avoid These 3 Common Mistakes
Women’s Divorce Mistake #1: Waiting too long to assemble the right team.
In divorce, time is money. And when it comes to securing your financial future, every moment counts. Yet, many women make the critical mistake of delaying in assembling the right team to guide them through the process.
Why is this such a big deal? Because your choices now impact your long-term financial stability. Avoidance won’t do you any favors in divorce. Once those papers are signed, your fate is sealed. So, it's crucial to have the right advocates by your side from the get-go. Who are these key players?
Attorney: But not just any attorney—you need someone with a proven track record of advocating for women. As a woman, the legal system is rigged against you. Having a fierce advocate in your corner is non-negotiable.
Forensic Accountant and Private Investigator: If you're divorcing a narcissist or a controlling spouse, you’ll need their professional help to uncover the truth behind the financial facade. These experts can dig deep to reveal hidden assets, undisclosed income, and other crucial details your ex may conveniently omit. 🙄

Women’s Divorce Mistake #2: Accepting financial information without verification.
The court system should enforce financial disclosure, but let's face it—it doesn't always. My advice? Don't believe everything you hear. Especially when it comes to finances. Too many women fall into the trap of taking their ex's word as gospel, only to find out they've been hoodwinked. Let's break it down with some real-life client stories:
👉 Story #1: Divorcing a Doctor With an Incorrect Property Valuation
Divorcing a doctor, Elizabeth's soon-to-be-ex conveniently left out crucial assets. With the help of a Private Investigator and Forensic Accountant, we uncovered $300K from an out-of-state property, securing her a jaw-dropping $1.2 million settlement.

👉 Story #2: Divorcing a Narcissist with a Hidden Pension
Another client's ex swore up and down he had no pension. But my gut said otherwise, and guess what? I was right! Turns out, he had a cool $120K pension stash just waiting to be uncovered. If we hadn't challenged his narrative, my client would've missed out on her rightful share. Moral of the story? Question everything, my friend! 🕵️
