Lunch & Learn: Finances of a Divorce

Divorce can be an emotional journey – and it is also a financial one. Many women are never taught how it can impact their finances at every stage of a relationship.

During this Lunch & Learn session, we will explore the financial considerations surrounding divorce – from proactive planning within a relationship, to key considerations before separation, what happens financially during legal proceeding and the longer-term financial implications post-divorce.
