Listen Later

Have you found yourself wondering, “What do I do first when I find out I’m getting divorced?" In this solo episode, top family law expert and mediator Susan Guthrie introduces the concept of Divorce Triage: a clear, strategic approach to navigating those overwhelming first days of divorce. Whether you’re the one who’s decided to file or you’ve just been hit with the news, knowing who to call first (and why) can make all the difference.

Divorce isn't one-size-fits-all. And the first steps you take can shape your entire journey. This episode helps you figure out where to begin based on your unique circumstances so you can avoid costly missteps.

With more than 30 years of experience as a family law attorney and mediator, Susan walks you through how to stabilize your emotional, financial, and legal footing so you can move forward with strength and strategy, not panic.

What You’ll Discover In This Episode:

  • Why your “first call” might not be an attorney and how to know who to call first
  • How to navigate emotional trauma after infidelity, financial betrayal, or a surprise divorce request
  • The key players on your divorce team, attorney, mediator, coach, therapist, CDFA, and when to bring them in
  • Why too many outside opinions can cause confusion, not clarity
  • Susan’s #1 piece of advice if you’re unsure where to start
