Summary

This week I am busting divorce myths with my guest, Eric Broder. Eric is a divorce and family attorney, and co-founding member and partner at Broder Orland Murray &DeMattie LLC. In this episode, Eric and I bust myths about no-fault law, modern parenting agreements, assets, and whether or not getting a job will impact your divorce settlement. That's just some of what we discuss — we cover a lot of ground!

When it comes to divorce advice, everyone has an opinion. In fact, there may be things you have heard or even believed about divorce that aren't actually true. One of the biggest lessons we uncover in this episode is this: "Don't get your divorce advice from cocktail talk. Instead, consult with an attorney."

But first, listen to this podcast episode!!
