In this powerful episode, Tracy Malone returns to discuss what most lawyers don't tell you about parenting plans — the money. From major expenses like cars and tech, to everyday costs like school supplies, Tracy breaks down how to build financial protection directly into your parenting plan.

She and Rhonda explore real client scenarios, highlight common pitfalls in legal agreements, and share practical strategies to help you avoid future conflict, legal fees, and emotional burnout. If you're navigating divorce or co-parenting, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to stand your ground — and plan for your future.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why financial clauses are critical in parenting plans
• Specific costs you must define (phones, insurance, travel, etc.)
• The power of a noncompliance clause — and why you need one
• How financial ambiguity leads to conflict (and how to prevent it)
• What lawyers often overlook in divorce agreements
• A walkthrough of Tracy's Parenting Plan Course: 52 lessons for every kind of family
• Using tech tools like Dcomply to track shared expenses
