FAQ

  • Why do I need a budget before finalizing my divorce?

    Divorce completely changes your financial situation, and without a clear budget, you might agree to a settlement that can't be executed as written or doesn’t support your future lifestyle. This course helps you understand exactly what you need so you can negotiate from a position of confidence, not uncertainty.

  • How will this course help me during my divorce negotiations?

    Having a well-structured budget gives you negotiating power. You’ll know what’s essential, where you can cut costs, and how to ensure your settlement actually works for you. Lawyers handle legal matters—this course helps you financially prepare so you don’t leave money on the table.

  • What if I already have an attorney—do I still need this course?

    Yes! Your attorney focuses on legal strategy, not your day-to-day financial reality. This course helps you see the full financial picture so you can work alongside your attorney to make the best decisions for your future.

  • I don’t consider myself "good with money." Will I still benefit?

    Absolutely! This course is designed for people with no financial background. We break everything down into easy-to-follow steps, so you can confidently manage your budget—even if numbers aren’t your thing.

  • Does this course help with child support and alimony planning?

    Yes! We cover how child support, alimony, and other income sources factor into your financial plan, so you’ll have a realistic view of your post-divorce finances.

  • How will this course help me avoid financial struggles after divorce?

    Without a solid budget, many people underestimate their expenses and struggle financially after divorce. This course helps you create a plan that supports your financial independence.
