Parenting Plans with Purpose: Secure Your Family’s Financial Future


Listen Later

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, hosts Karen and Catherine are joined by special guest Tracy Malone, a recognized expert in narcissistic abuse and divorce coaching, to delve into essential yet often-overlooked financial considerations in parenting plans. Tracy introduces her new program, ParentingPlans.org, which supports parents in building comprehensive, forward-thinking parenting plans. These plans address not only custody arrangements but also the critical financial components that typical child support agreements may miss. Tracy explains why setting clear financial expectations upfront can help parents avoid future disputes and costly court visits, fostering a peaceful co-parenting environment for their children.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Financial protections to include in parenting plans
  • Why parenting plans should extend beyond time-sharing and custody
  • Addressing shared expenses for children, such as braces, sports, and technology
  • Preventing conflicts by defining financial responsibilities from the start
  • Empowering parents with tools and resources for creating thorough parenting plans

  • Tracy Malone is a renowned author, speaker, and educator, recognized globally for her work in narcissistic abuse and divorce coaching. She is the founder of NarcissisticAbuseSupport.com and recently launched ParentingPlans.org, a resource platform guiding parents in building thoughtful, financially secure post-divorce parenting plans.
