Advisor in Your Corner
Divorce is one of the most financially complex events a person can go through, and most people face it without anyone in their corner who understands the numbers. Advisor in Your Corner is hosted by Alex Weinberger, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and founder of Marriage Financial Solutions, a financial consulting firm based in Los Angeles.
Each episode covers the financial decisions that matter most during divorce: retirement accounts, tax consequences, property division, support calculations, and the hidden costs that often go unexamined until it is too late. The goal is to give you clear, honest information so you can make better decisions, ask better questions, and walk away from the process on solid financial footing.
Whether you are just beginning to think about divorce, in the middle of one, or working through the financial aftermath, this show is built for you.
