In this listener question episode, Seth and Pete address a variety of concerns that many individuals face when going through a divorce or considering ending their marriage.

The hosts dive into topics such as dating during the divorce process, fighting for your marriage, handling unresponsive attorneys, and the potential impact of changing laws on no-fault divorces. They also discuss the differences between equitable distribution and alimony, inheritance laws in Florida, and how to approach property appraisals during a divorce.

Questions we answer in this episode:

• How should you handle dating before your divorce is finalized?
• Can the divorce process actually save a marriage?
• What should you do if your attorney is unresponsive and hasn't filed important documents like your QDRO?

Key Takeaways:

• Equitable distribution deals with the division of assets and debts, while alimony is based on need and ability to pay.
• In Florida, inheritance maintained as separate property is generally considered non-marital and not subject to equitable distribution.
• When seeking a property appraisal, focus on finding a reputable and qualified appraiser rather than trying to manipulate the outcome.
