Five Things to Do Before Uttering, 'I Want a Divorce'

💰 The average contested divorce in Australia costs tens of thousands—some cases exceed $100,000 and drag on for YEARS. But here's the truth: it really doesn't have to be that way. 

The couples who come out strongest aren't the wealthiest or most legally aggressive. They're the ones who prepared early and chose collaboration over combat. 

In this podcast, we reveal the practical financial steps you need to take BEFORE separation to protect yourself, your family, and your future—whether you're just starting to worry or already facing the end of a marriage. 

Here's what we cover: 

✅ Mapping your complete financial picture (assets, super & debts) 

✅ Why your own bank account is a non-negotiable safety net 

✅ The credit check most people forget until it's too late 

✅ Why timing matters more than you think

 ✅ How mediation saves money, time, and relationships 

When you're prepared, you have options. When you have options, you have power.
