Episode Description
Hello from the other side! Previous episodes have discussed planning for a breakup, self-care, child custody and real estate. This episode pulls back the curtain on the service providers who work with people experiencing divorce. Did you know a digital forensics expert can recover data from Venmo? She can also find hidden assets, evidence of abuse and much, much more. Today we will hear from Grace Rubio, owner and founder of Rubio Digital Forensics. Even if your soon-to-be ex thinks a device is outmoded or non-functional, Grace's team may be able to recover data. Jaclyn Roberson is a family lawyer in private practice. She will provide a master class in how to save money in your divorce. If you are thinking, "I know about downloadable forms," that's not what this is about. Jaclyn will help listeners maximize the relationship between client and attorney to 1) ensure best outcomes and 2) save you money.
Plan for Divorce: Your Next Chapter
Wednesday at 12 PM on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
We've all seen wedding planning guides: the flowers! The cakes! The gowns! It's easy to get swept away in the romance and glamour. By contrast, no one PLANS to get divorced... it's bad manners to even suggest it! But here in the United States, we know that 50-60% of marriages end ... and the percentage is even higher for second and third marriages. Host Brooke Benson, a Certified Divorce Lending Professional, hears from divorcing clients all the time: "I don't care! Just make it end!" when in reality there should be a plan for splitting up. Especially when children are involved. Plan for Divorce provides practical, sensible information for anyone thinking of ending a personal relationship, legal marriage or not. Couples of the same sex or the opposite sex can hear suggestions from experienced professionals (not from the neighbors) to lay the groundwork for best outcomes. Take charge of the process. Protect your kids, assets, your sanity, etc. Start writing your next chapter.
