Course Overview

Divorce isn't just the end of a marriage; it's often the start of a new chapter fraught with emotional upheaval and financial uncertainty. Sadly, the statistics paint a particularly stark picture for women. According to a recent report from the American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators, the financial aftermath of divorce tends to hit women much harder than men. While men's household income might dip by 23% post-divorce past the age of 50, women face a staggering 41% drop. When you factor in that women typically outlive men by about five years, the impact becomes even more profound, stretching that diminished income over more years.

But it's not just the immediate aftermath that's concerning. Children of divorce often carry a financial stigma into adulthood, potentially impacting their lifetime earnings by a whopping 46%. Preparing for such eventualities is paramount, as marriage rates are declining and divorce rates are steady. Ilene's new webinar series, "Women and Divorce," comes here.

In this comprehensive course, "Organizing and Planning for Divorce," Ilene dives deep into the critical steps necessary to organize and prepare for divorce, offering invaluable insights to help individuals and financial professionals navigate this challenging terrain. The goal isn't just to mitigate surprises but to empower clients with the knowledge and tools to approach divorce confidently and clearly.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Powerful Conversations with Client
  • How Divorce Often Impacts Women and Children
  • Four Post-Divorce Challenges Women Face
  • Careful Financial Preparation Protects You
  • Economic Realities for Women
  • Discussing Divorce with Children

Led by Ilene Slatko, a seasoned speaker and entrepreneur with over 30 years in the financial industry, this webinar series is designed to be a beacon of support in uncertain times. Whether you're a financial advisor, lawyer, or accountant, this course equips you with the expertise to ally for your clients when they need it most. Because when it comes to divorce, preparation isn't just crucial—it's everything.

Great starting point for divorce planning. Looking at this from the perspective of a CPA looking to advise clients and a woman who is personally beginning her divorce journey.
