Divorced Without Getting Screwed: A Practical Guide to Protecting Your Money, Your Rights, and Your Future
The divorce itself, you can't control. What you walk away with, you can.
Most women don't get blindsided by their divorce they get blindsided by the paperwork, the deadlines, and the dozens of financial decisions they're expected to make while still in shock. This book closes that gap. It's the plain-language guide to everything the lawyers assume you already know: what you own, what you owe, how to protect your credit, your home, your kids' financial world, and your future before you sign a single thing.
Written like a financially sharp friend walking you through it step by step, Divorced Without Getting Screwed shows you how to:
Slow down before you sign anything and spot the clauses that quietly cost women the most
Build a complete asset and debt inventory so nothing gets left off the table
Protect your credit score and untangle joint debt before it follows you out the door
Build a real post-divorce budget instead of guessing what your new life will cost
Find income, benefits, and assets you may not realize you're entitled to
Decide whether keeping the house is a smart move or an expensive attachment
Keep your kids out of the financial crossfire
Lock down your social media before it becomes evidence against you
Choose a lawyer who works for you, and negotiate without losing yourself in the process
Protect your retirement and see the tax bill coming before it arrives
Rebuild with a plan in the first hundred days after it's final
Every chapter ends with real-world scenarios, red flags to watch for, and worksheets you can use immediately, so you're never just reading you're building your own file as you go.
You're not starting over from nothing. You're starting from information most women only get after it's too late to use it.
This book is educational, not legal or financial advice. Divorce law varies by state and country always consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction.
