Why do divorcing spouses spend so much money fighting over money and is it really about the money?
In this episode of Divorce Explained, we’re joined by Patrick Kilbane, attorney, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and Director of the Divorce Advisory Group at Ullmann Wealth Partners. Patrick draws on his experience litigating complex, high-net-worth divorces and his transition into financial advisory work to explore the emotional, psychological, and financial forces that drive costly conflict.
Together, we discuss why financial battles in divorce are often fueled by emotion rather than logic, how power, fear, and control show up in money disputes, and why choosing the right legal and financial professionals can make all the difference.
Patrick also shares insights from his book Move Forward Confidently, including how women can rebuild financial confidence, make informed decisions, and avoid spending 2x to recover X.
