Episode Synopsis

This week in Divorce Summer School, we’re answering one of the most overwhelming questions in the divorce process: Who should I hire?

Karen and Catherine break down the roles of attorneys, mediators, CDFAs, coaches, therapists, and more—so you can confidently build the right team for your needs (not someone else’s). You’ll also learn how financial preparation helps every professional on your team do their best work—and saves you from wasting time, money, and emotional energy.

If you’re unsure where to start or afraid of making the wrong hire, this episode is your roadmap.
