In today's episode, I sat down with David Iancu of Karp & Iancu, S.C. law firm in the state of Wisconsin, to debunk some of the myths surrounding divorce. Disclaimer! The discussion that we had pertains specifically to the laws on divorce in the State of Wisconsin. What we discussed may not apply to you as each state has its own laws pertaining to this matter. Nevertheless, I am encouraging you to listen to our discussion because there might be things that you didn't initially consider that could be touched upon here.

Right off the bat, David Iancu gives his most important advice to people considering divorce and it is this: Get as much intel or information as you can! He notes that people often lack knowledge about the divorce process. Thus, he encourages you to look out for information to gain clarity about your situation.

Listen to this episode to learn the truth about myths in divorce.

Here are some of the myths that spouses believe:

Myth 1 - "We get to keep what we had before we got married."

Myth 2 - "The placement of our children will be on a 50-50 basis."

Myth 3 - "The judge will approve any settlement we agree on."

Rhonda Noordyk's relentless pursuit of financial justice for women going through divorce drove her to leave the financial industry in 2014 to open The Women's Financial Wellness Center. She was in search of a better way. She used her knowledge, passion, and experience to build a leading-edge business model. The intention was to create a business that provided a safe place for women - especially those in a vulnerable position - to find their paths, find their voices and find the financial confidence they need to lift themselves out of seemingly hopeless situations. Since starting the Women's Financial Wellness Center, after a 10+ year career in the financial industry, she has helped alleviate financial vulnerability for thousands of women.

In addition to being the CEO of The Women's Financial Wellness Center, Rhonda is also a professional speaker. While her platform is women's money wellness, it is not just about money.
