Financial Steps To Take During Divorce With Renée Bauer, #212

Retire With Ryan

In episode #211, we talked about the information you need to gather to prepare to file for divorce and the initial proceedings. But what financial steps do you need to take during a divorce? How do you figure out what life will look like on the other side? How does splitting your assets actually work? Renée C. Bauer—an experienced family law attorney and mediator—joins me in this conversation to help flesh out the details.

Renée has been practicing law since 2003. She’s also the author of two books, “Divorce in Connecticut,” and “She Who Wins” and the host of the “Happy Even After” podcast.
