Divorced Without Getting Screwed

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.
