HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

Divorce Mailbag: “Can I get my ex off the mortgage without refinancing?”


Listen Later

Divorce is hard—emotionally, logistically, and yes, financially. But it doesn’t have to be devastating. In this special HerMoney mailbag episode, Jean Chatzky welcomes back family law attorney and Hello Divorce founder Erin Levine to answer real listener questions from women going through divorce.

💡 Topics Covered:

  • “How can I bullet-proof my finances before filing for divorce when my spouse is likely to fight me on everything?”
  • “I’m freshly divorced with two kids. If I can only claim one child, is filing ‘Head of Household’ still worth it?”
  • “The house is mine, but the mortgage is ours. Can I get my ex off the loan without a pricey refi?”
  • “I was a stay-at-home mom and never saw the divorce coming. With $14K in savings and $1K a month in child support, where do I even start?”
  • Get 10% off any legal plan or Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) service at Hello Divorce. Visit HelloDivorce.com/hermoney and use code HerMoney at checkout.
