The Most Overlooked Financial Mistakes in Divorce... and How to Avoid Them with Laura Combs, CFP®, MBA
Jun 25, 2025When you’re going through divorce, the emotional toll is heavy. And yet you’re expected to make huge financial decisions that will impact your future. In this episode, I sit down with Laura Combs, CFP®, a nationally recognized financial advisor, to talk about how to stay smart and strategic when your world feels like it’s unraveling.
Laura and I explore the most common financial mistakes people make during divorce—not because they don’t know better, but because they’re overwhelmed, fearful, or desperate to just be done. We talk about how to build a strong support team, create a plan that protects your lifestyle, and keep your emotions from running your settlement.
Whether you’re knee-deep in negotiations or just starting to think about your next steps, this episode will help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and control.
