    What Child Support Covers And The Costs It Ignores

    Send us Fan Mail Child support sounds like it should “cover everything for the kids,” until prom season hits, it's time to buy your child their first phone, not to mention "back to school" clothes and supplies. I’m Jackie Roessler, a certified divorce financial analyst, and I’m walking you through the gap between what child support guidelines are built to handle and what divorced parents actually pay for in real life, from that first car to summer camps. We dig into the planning mistakes that trigger repeat conflict; such as failing to forecast life stage expenses.  I explain why many of these costs only get addressed if you negotiate them during the divorce settlement phase. We also talk about the hardest part that nobody wants to face: the conversation with your children. Then we compare options to track receipts and reimbursement.  Subscribe to Divorce Rich, share this episode with someone navigating divorce finances, and leave a review so more parents can find clear, practical guidance.

    From the Archives: Mediation, Divorce and Marriage with Attorney Xavier Prather

    Send us Fan Mail Most people think divorce “has to” look like a court fight, but that assumption can quietly drain your time, money, and emotional bandwidth. Jacki Roessler sits down with Michigan family law attorney and domestic relations mediator Xavier Prather to break down what divorce mediation actually is, how it differs from traditional litigation, and why the best outcomes often come from better communication rather than better arguments. We get practical about the two major mediation styles listeners will run into, facilitative mediation versus evaluative mediation, as well as which couples are best suited for mediation.  Then the conversation takes a fascinating turn: Xavier shares how winning Big Brother sharpened skills that matter in mediation, reading people, staying calm, and reframing emotional statements into something the other side can receive.

    From the Archives: How to Choose the Right Divorce Attorney with Kelsey Minor, Esq.

    Send us Fan Mail  The first question people ask me, almost without fail, is “How do I pick an attorney?” And I get it. Divorce already feels like your life got flipped, and the legal side can feel like a maze where one wrong turn gets expensive fast. That’s why I brought on Kelsey Minor, Esq. Managing Partner at DAWN in Bingham Farms, Michigan, a firm that has focused on women’s needs for decades. We get specific about what to look for when you’re interviewing a divorce lawyer, what questions to ask, and what “fit” really means when the stakes include your home, your retirement, and your long-term financial stability. We talk about why family law specialization matters, and why local experience still counts even after the shift to virtual hearings. Kelsey explains how different judges and referees can have different courtroom protocols, scheduling rules, and filing requirements, and how hiring someone who already knows the landscape can save time and legal fees. We also dig into the less talked about part of hiring counsel: emotional support, responsiveness, and whether your attorney helps you understand the timeline and next steps so you’re not left guessing.

    Reverse Mortgages and Grey Divorce with Laura Phillips

    Send us Fan Mail Keeping the house after divorce can feel like the last thread of stability, but the numbers do not always cooperate. If you are over 60 and facing a gray divorce, you might be sitting on substantial home equity while struggling to come up with the cash needed for a buyout, repairs, or everyday income. We wanted a real, practical conversation about one of the most misunderstood tools in divorce financial planning: the reverse mortgage. We’re joined by Laura Phillips, a reverse mortgage specialist, to break down what a reverse mortgage actually is, how an FHA HECM works, and why “no monthly mortgage payment required” can be a game changer for retirees who would never qualify for a traditional refinance. We walk through an easy-to-follow example of using a reverse mortgage to pay a spouse and set up a growing line of credit for future needs. We also cover who qualifies, why age affects how much equity you can access, and when a proprietary jumbo reverse mortgage may be worth comparing for higher-value homes. Then we get honest about the concerns. Reverse mortgages can be expensive, and negative amortization is real, but so are the protections: mortgage insurance, non-recourse rules if the market drops, and updated spouse and partner safeguards that prevent the horror stories many families remember. We also spell out the rules that matter most, like paying property taxes, keeping the home as your primary residence, and staying on top of annual occupancy certifications, plus what happens if assisted living becomes part of the plan. If you’re trying to decide whether staying put is realistic, listen, take notes, and share this with someone who’s house rich and cash poor. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what would you need to feel confident using your home equity?
