37 minutes

In this episode of We Chat Divorce, hosts Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan sit down with Nicole Farhat, a Certified Divorce Coach and former My Divorce Solution (MDS) client. Nicole shares her personal journey through divorce and how MDS empowered her with financial clarity, saving her thousands in legal fees while securing a successful financial outcome.

From skepticism about her spouse’s participation to witnessing the transformative power of MDS’s Divorce Financial Portrait™, Nicole’s experience serves as a testament to the importance of financial preparation. She discusses the emotional and financial challenges of divorce, the unexpected cooperation of her spouse, and the valuable role of MDS in neutralizing conflict while securing financial fairness.

Now, as a divorce coach herself, Nicole helps others navigate divorce with confidence, advocating for education, preparation, and the right support system.

Key Takeaways:

Financial preparation is crucial. Understanding your marital assets before engaging attorneys can save thousands in legal fees.

Spouses often participate despite initial resistance. Many clients fear their spouse won’t cooperate, but MDS’s structured approach often leads to engagement.

MDS neutralizes emotional conflict. By focusing on facts and financial data, MDS facilitates productive conversations between spouses.

Nicole’s transformation. Through MDS, she gained confidence, a favorable financial settlement, and a new career helping others through divorce.
