    Smart Strategies for Divorcing Women: What You Need to Know

    In this episode of Intentional Divorce Insights, host Leah Hadley speaks with Katie Wilcox Carter, a dedicated Virginia-based family law attorney. Katie shares her wealth of knowledge, focusing on empowering women through divorce and custody processes, and she underscores the importance of accurate, state-specific legal advice.  Key Topics Discussed:  - Understanding State-Specific Divorce Laws: There are risks of misinformation from online forums and non-expert sources so it’s important to consult local attorneys for accurate guidance. - Navigating Asset Division in Divorce: Understand your personal priorities and long-term impact, and consult a financial planner to help you evaluate the financial impacts.     - Custody and Economic Interests: It’s important to keep financial and custody matters separate to maintain financial stability and parental rights. Do not waive economic interests in exchange for more custody time. The goal is to ensure financial stability while maintaining parental rights. - Being informed is critical to being able to self-advocate effectively during divorce proceedings. Knowledge is power, and staying informed and consulting experienced local attorneys can provide the support needed for a fair outcome.   Connect with Katie Wilcox Carter: Website: https://hoflaw.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/yourgirlfriendneedsadivorce IG:https://www.instagram.com/yourgirlfriendneedsadivorce/ Hofheimer Family Law Firm has free books and resources available.
