Women and Divorce

In this episode of the Money Ma’am podcast, Necie discusses divorce with her good friend Jamie in New Orleans. She is focusing on how to navigate the financial issues of divorce, especially as a woman, and how to prepare financially when you’re in the situation of an impending marital breakup. The divorce rate in couples over 50 has doubled since the 90s which makes this discussion very relevant for older couples considering both retirement one day and divorce today. Listen to the podcast, especially the last 10 minutes for Necie’s detailed 10-point advice on how to prepare and protect your finances in the time leading up to the actual divorce. She covers record gathering, credit cards, bank accounts, income, valuable personal property, reducing expenses and more, including how to finance your new life after divorce.
