Women Winning Divorce: A Lawyer’s Guidance On Navigating An Unhappy Marriage & Protecting Your Financial Assets With Heather B. Quick, Esq.

What happens when your spouse refuses to turn over financial information, even after a judge orders them to do it?
Financial disclosure can be one of the most important parts of a divorce or child support case, especially if you weren’t the person managing the finances during your marriage. When income, assets, or other financial information is withheld, it can leave you wondering whether you’ll ever get the complete picture you need to protect yourself.
In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick discusses the reported arrest of former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin in connection with an ongoing child support dispute. She explains how the case illustrates an important lesson for anyone navigating divorce: court orders are not suggestions, and repeatedly refusing to comply can have serious consequences.
Listen to the episode to learn:
Why complete financial disclosure matters when courts are determining child support and other financial issues.
What contempt means and the potential consequences when someone repeatedly refuses to follow a court order.
How staying organized, documenting what is happening, meeting deadlines, and working closely with your attorney can help protect you when your spouse refuses to cooperate.

Play this episode to understand what can happen when financial information is withheld in divorce and what you can do to stay informed and protect your financial interests when your spouse refuses to cooperate.

What is no fault divorce and does it really mean that nothing your spouse did during the marriage matters?
If you’re considering divorce, you may feel like you need to prove why your marriage should end. Maybe your husband cheated, hid money, walked away from the relationship, or perhaps you simply know the marriage is over. Understanding what “no fault divorce” actually means can help you stop focusing on whether your reasons are good enough and start thinking strategically about your future.
In this mini episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick explains what no-fault divorce means in Florida and clears up some of the most common misconceptions surrounding it.
You’ll learn:
Why you generally don’t have to prove marital wrongdoing to obtain a divorce in Florida
How your spouse’s conduct may still matter when addressing finances, parenting, support, property, and other issues
Why shifting your focus from proving what happened in the past to protecting what matters in your future can help you prepare for divorce more strategically

Play this episode to understand your rights, separate marital fault from the issues that may affect your case, and start preparing for your next chapter from a place of knowledge rather than fear.

Your divorce settlement may look equal on paper, but will it actually support your life once the divorce is over?
In this episode of Women Winning Divorce, Heather Quick sits down with certified divorce financial analyst, financial advisor, and bestselling author Donna Cates to explain why a 50/50 division of assets does not always create a financially fair outcome. From keeping the marital home to dividing retirement accounts, Donna breaks down the financial consequences women need to understand before agreeing to a settlement.
You’ll learn how to evaluate whether your settlement can realistically support your monthly expenses, why liquidity and future tax consequences matter just as much as an asset’s current value, and how to think about your financial security five or ten years beyond the divorce.
You’ll also discover the three-part reality test Donna uses: cash flow, liquidity, and long-term sustainability, to help women determine whether a proposed settlement truly works for their future.
If you’re approaching mediation, reviewing a settlement proposal, or feeling pressured to sign just so your divorce can finally be over, play this episode to learn the questions you need to ask before making financial decisions that could affect you for years to come.

How public should you be about your own divorce?
When social media creator Jen Hamilton began sharing her separation publicly after discovering what she describes as her husband’s double life, millions were watching. Her story raises an important question.
Social media can offer support and validation, but divorce is also a legal process. Posts can be screenshotted, saved, shared, and viewed later without the emotion or context behind them.
In this mini episode, Heather Quick explores how to balance having a voice with protecting yourself, your children, and your future. Her winning move: Don’t post in the emotion.
Listen for what to consider before sharing your divorce story online, and how to find support without sharing more than you may want to later.
