77 - Avoid Future Conflicts: The Power of Specificity in Your Divorce Agreement

Divorced & Determined AF

In this episode I'm diving into a topic that I wish more women knew to spend more time on in their divorce process: the importance of having a detailed and specific divorce agreement. This crucial episode explains how clarity in your agreement can prevent future disputes, protect you legally, and provide peace of mind. I'll share practical tips and real-life examples, highlighting areas such as being specific with dates, timelines, financial details, and defining terms, to ensure your agreement is as precise as possible. Need help making sure it's drafted with that intention? Sure thing! In addition to working with an experienced professional, I'll cover a few of my top tips to make that happen such as reviewing it with a trusted source and revising it, thinking about long term scenarios and the importance of documenting everything - and what exactly that means. Whether you're just starting the process or revisiting your agreement, this episode is packed with essential insights to help you safeguard your future.
