10 YEARS. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES. ONE MISSION: FINANCIAL CLARITY IN DIVORCE.

Ten years ago, two women recognized something missing from the divorce process: people were making life-changing financial decisions without fully understanding the numbers.

They believed there had to be a better way.

Today, My Divorce Solution is celebrating 10 years of helping individuals and families approach divorce with knowledge, preparation, and financial clarity.

To celebrate this milestone, we're sharing something special with you.

Our FREE Divorce Clarity Guide brings together valuable lessons from a decade of experience, including:

✓ 10 costly divorce mistakes to avoid
✓ Financial questions to ask before making decisions
✓ Steps to better understand your assets, debts, and financial future
✓ Practical insights to help you prepare before negotiating

Whether you're considering divorce, just beginning the process, or working toward a settlement, the decisions you make today can shape your financial future for years to come.

You deserve to understand your options before making them.

Being called “codependent” can leave you asking: Was their behavior somehow my fault?

You can reflect on your own needs without taking responsibility for someone else’s abuse.

You know the relationship hurt you. So why do you still miss them?

That question deserves compassion.

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Dr. Nadine Macaluso joins Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan to explore trauma bonds, coercive control, and why she challenges the “codependent” label when applied to abuse survivors.

They also discuss how emotional and financial dependence can become intertwined—and why understanding your finances can help you consider your options before deciding what comes next.

You do not have to figure out your entire future today. Start with information, support, and one manageable step.

“My sister got that much in divorce support… shouldn’t I get more?”
Not necessarily. And here’s why.

No two divorces have the same financial picture. Income, assets, debts, cash flow, and even state laws can significantly influence financial outcomes.

Just because a friend or family member received a certain amount of support doesn’t mean your situation will result in the same outcome.
Their divorce is not your financial roadmap.

Advice from people who care about you can be valuable—but instead of treating their experience as your expectation, turn that advice into questions for the right professionals.

At My Divorce Solution, we believe financial clarity begins with understanding YOUR numbers, not comparing them to someone else’s.

A settlement may give you the house—but can you make the terms work? A refinance deadline deserves a closer look. What documentation will the lender require? When could you qualify? What happens under your agreement if you cannot complete the refinance on time?
These are questions to address before signing, while you and your professional team can still work through the details.
In this We Chat Divorce clip, Karen and Catherine explain why understanding a settlement means looking beyond the signature to the life you’ll be living afterward.

Keeping the house in divorce and being able to afford the house are two very different questions.
When a home holds years of memories, wanting to stay is understandable. But before you agree to keep it, you deserve to understand what staying would mean for your finances.
Can your budget cover the mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, and repairs? What savings or retirement assets might you give up in exchange? Would another option give you more financial breathing room?
Our new blog, “Keeping the House in Divorce: Pros, Cons, and Smarter Alternatives,” walks through the costs, trade-offs, and options to consider.
You don’t have to decide everything today. Start by understanding what each choice could mean for your future.
