    #237 Equal Isn’t Always Fair: Will Your Divorce Settlement Actually Work in Real Life? with Donna Cates

    Your divorce settlement may look equal on paper, but will it actually support your life once the divorce is over? In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick sits down with certified divorce financial analyst, financial advisor, and bestselling author Donna Cates to explain why a 50/50 division of assets does not always create a financially fair outcome. From keeping the marital home to dividing retirement accounts, Donna breaks down the financial consequences women need to understand before agreeing to a settlement. You’ll learn how to evaluate whether your settlement can realistically support your monthly expenses, why liquidity and future tax consequences matter just as much as an asset’s current value, and how to think about your financial security five or ten years beyond the divorce. You’ll also discover the three-part reality test Donna uses: cash flow, liquidity, and long-term sustainability, to help women determine whether a proposed settlement truly works for their future. If you’re approaching mediation, reviewing a settlement proposal, or feeling pressured to sign just so your divorce can finally be over, play this episode to learn the questions you need to ask before making financial decisions that could affect you for years to come.

    #235 Who Gets the House in a Divorce? Why Keeping It Isn't Always the Answer with Amy Slate

    Should you keep the house during divorce or could holding onto it actually hold you back? For many women, the family home represents stability, memories, and security. But during divorce, that emotional attachment can make it harder to evaluate whether keeping the house truly supports the life you want to build next. In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick is joined by Amy Slate, founder of The Breakup Broker, to talk through the emotional, financial, and practical realities of making housing decisions during divorce. Drawing from her own experience untangling multiple real estate assets during divorce, Amy explains why the question isn’t simply, “Can I keep the house?” but rather, “Does this house still fit the life I’m creating?” Together, Heather and Amy discuss buyouts, mortgage assumptions, nesting arrangements, home inspections, long-term affordability, and the hidden costs women often overlook when deciding whether to stay or sell. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: Separate emotional attachment from the financial realities of keeping the family homeEvaluate whether you can comfortably afford the house long term and not just qualify for itGather the right information early so you can make housing decisions from a position of clarity If you’re facing one of the biggest financial decisions of your divorce, play this episode to learn how to look beyond the memories tied to the house and make a thoughtful choice that protects your financial security, your peace of mind, and the future you’re building.
