Today’s episode: How to Get Divorced

In this week's podcast, I discuss the actual process of getting divorced legally.  A lot of clients assume that before considering talking to a professional about their separation they need to wait 12 months. They don't understand the different stages.

Yes, while it does take 12 months to apply for your divorce decree, it does not mean in the meantime you should not be working on your financial and parenting arrangements.

There is a lot of confusion around this process and how best to get it completed. Actually dissolving your marriage by applying for a divorce, in my view is the easiest part of the process and can be completed online.

In this podcast, I explain why you need a divorce and then breakdown the stages for applying for your divorce and how to save some coin by being clever.

So let’s get into it:

This is the Divorce Angel Podcast with Tanya Somerton. I’m obsessed with helping clients chart a course through the complex process of divorce and embracing a new life. I teach clients how to Prepare, Plan and Protect themselves from further heartache with my step by step process and I'd like to help you too.

Through storytelling and education, I will share the lessons I teach my clients to help you prevent unnecessary and costly mistakes. Giving you the inside information that the lawyers don't want you to know and the tools to help protect yourself financially and emotionally.

Just remember divorce doesn't need to be the end, it can be an exciting beginning.
