When people hear about the Divorce Money Guide, the first thing they usually ask is, “Did you create this because of your own divorce?”
The answer is no. I’ve never been divorced. But I have spent more than 25 years as a forensic accountant, digging through financial records in hundreds of divorce cases. I’ve uncovered hidden accounts, traced missing money, and testified as an expert witness about where the money really went.
Here’s the problem: Forensic accounting is expensive. My services are out of reach for most people, and I estimate that 95% of divorcing women cannot afford to hire someone like me. Which means that when they suspect money is being hidden, they’re left without answers.
For years, I hated having to tell women there wasn’t an option for them. Again and again, I would hear the same question: “What can I do if I can’t afford a forensic accountant?” And my answer was always the same: “There really isn’t anything available.” That never sat right with me.
So I asked myself, why couldn’t there be an option? Why couldn’t I create a resource that would give women the tools to look at the numbers themselves? Not to turn them into accountants, but to show them the same techniques I use… only making them simpler and accessible.
That’s how the Divorce Money Guide was born. It’s do-it-yourself forensic accounting, designed to give you clarity about your finances and the confidence to protect yourself. I teach you how to review bank accounts, credit cards, and tax returns, and how to spot red flags that could uncover hidden assets.
And no, you don’t have to be an accountant to do this. You don’t even have to feel like you’re good with numbers. You just have to get curious about your family’s money and be willing to follow some simple steps. It won’t make you a forensic accountant, but it will put you back in control of your money. And during divorce, that’s everything.
Of course, money is just one part of the bigger picture. To truly protect yourself, you also need a plan… a strategy for how to move through the divorce process without being blindsided. Let me help you get started with our Divorce STRATEGY Guide. It’s the step-by-step plan to help you be smart, be strategic, and win your divorce.
