The Marital Home in Divorce: Experts Weigh In: Sell, Split, Buy-Out?
Send us a text The marital home represents far more than bricks and mortar during divorce—it embodies memories, stability, and often the largest financial asset couples must address.

Surprising Divorce Tax Hacks
Send us a text Tax season brings anxiety for many, but for those navigating divorce, it also presents unique opportunities to protect your financial future. Despite the complexity, understanding a few key tax concepts can literally put thousands of dollars back in your pocket during this challenging life transition. Tax literacy remains shockingly low among Americans—only 2% demonstrate proficient knowledge according to recent studies. Yet as this episode reveals, even basic tax understanding becomes a powerful tool during divorce negotiations. For example, the difference between filing as "single" versus "head of household" isn't just paperwork; it represents a $7,300 higher standard deduction and access to valuable credits that could significantly reduce your tax burden.
