    What Every Woman Should Know About Divorce - Interview with Divorce Lawyer Steph

    This was an episode that multiple women have privately messaged me to say thank you for. The insights, resources and support that Steph shares are things that 50% of us will need in our lifetime. And with statistics like that, if it's not us, it is one of our best friends. Yes, it's an awkward topic and we'd rather avoid it... but if we are interested in marriage and relationships we also need to be aware of divorce.  Stephanie Murray is a Family Lawyer and Partner at Richardson Murray Law. Her team has helped thousands of couples to navigate divorce so I felt like she is the perfect person to ask all of my curious questions.   Are divorce rates declining? Why do couples get divorced? When is divorce a good idea?How do some men avoid paying child support? Are all assets (including crypto and superannuation) included in a settlement? Are there free resources for people who can't afford a lawyer? How long does it take to get divorced? Should you get a mid-marriage prenup before having children? This episode is packed with practical wisdom and I think you should share it with all your girlfriends. It will help us all to make informed decisions when entering a relationship, having children or considering marriage.  It will also help empower those who may currently feel trapped.
