Empowering Women in Divorce—with Heather Quick Divorce Dialogues

In the early days of her family law practice, Heather Quick noticed a troubling pattern among the women she represented.

Women often undervalued what they brought to the marriage and failed to stand up for themselves in the divorce process.

So, what can women do to change their mindset around divorce and fight for what they deserve?

Heather Quick is Founder and CEO of Florida Women’s Law Group, the only divorce and family law firm in Northeast Florida that serves women exclusively.

Consistent with her message of women's empowerment, Heather has published several books on divorce and business, including Women’s Guide to Divorce in Florida and Women’s Guide to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur.

On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, Heather joins Katherine to discuss the unique challenges facing women in divorce, from stay-at-home moms to female breadwinners.

Heather explains how women compromise on finances to protect their children and why that’s a bad idea, challenging couples to stop using their children as a negotiating tool in divorce.

Listen in to understand how entrepreneurship can help women own their financial destiny and learn how FWLG advocates for women before, during and after divorce.
