January Is DIVORCE MONTH — And Divorce Is NOT About Who Behaved Best

Every January, family lawyers report a surge in divorce consultations as people wait until after the holidays to face what they’ve been carrying quietly for months or years. If you’re here because you’re thinking about divorce but feel overwhelmed, frozen, or unsure where to begin, this video is for you.

In this episode, I explain:
• Why January is known as Divorce Month
• Why fear often drives people to make rushed, expensive decisions
• Why divorce is not about who behaved best or who “deserves” more
• How emotional reactions can sabotage negotiations
• Why understanding your financial options early can change everything
• How divorce is a reinvention of a relationship when children are involved
• Why co-parenting begins long before the paperwork is signed

I also explain my role as a divorce mortgage specialist and why housing and financial decisions made during divorce often have long-term consequences people don’t see coming.

Divorce agreements and mortgage guidelines don’t always align. On paper, something can look fair. In reality, it may be impossible to execute. When people understand their financial options before agreements are finalized, they negotiate from clarity instead of fear — and that often leads to better outcomes for everyone involved.

If children are part of your story, divorce doesn’t end your relationship with the other parent. It transforms it. This is a co-parenting relationship you will be in for the rest of your life — through graduations, holidays, weddings, and beyond. How you start this process matters.

January doesn’t require panic.
It doesn’t require immediate filing.
And it doesn’t require burning bridges.

It requires information, support, and a thoughtful approach that protects your future.

If the marital home, mortgage, or financial decisions are keeping you up at night, you don’t have to navigate this alone. Understanding your options early can help you avoid costly mistakes and reduce unnecessary conflict.
