When the marriage ends, the bills don’t just disappear—they get divided. In this episode, we tackle the "heavy" side of the balance sheet: liabilities. From mortgages and credit cards to the complexities of student loans and family "loans" that were meant to be gifts, we explore how debt is equitably allocated under Illinois law.

Learn why "equal" doesn’t always mean "equitable," how to handle post-separation spending sprees, and why a simple promissory note could save your inheritance. Whether you’re dealing with Section 513 college expenses or business debts, this episode provides the roadmap for navigating the financial fallout of divorce.
