Spotting Financial Red Flags During Divorce - Tracy Coenen Today, Mardi Winder welcomes forensic accountant Tracy Coenen, who has spent more than 25 years investigating financial fraud and uncovering the secrets hidden in divorce finances. Tracy brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing why what you don’t know about the money in your marriage can absolutely hurt you during divorce, and how you can take proactive steps to protect yourself. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the thought of navigating joint accounts, credit cards, or potential “money shenanigans,” you’re not alone. Tracy explains how financial confusion is common and nothing to be ashamed of, especially if you weren’t the one managing the money in your relationship. She breaks down her practical approach to taking charge with her Divorce Money Guide, designed to put powerful tools and knowledge into the hands of everyday people, no advanced math skills required. Together, Tracy and Mardi dig into the common tactics used to hide assets, how to recognize signs of secret accounts, and what documents you need to gather when divorce is on the horizon. They touch on important topics like home equity lines of credit, early withdrawals from retirement accounts, and even cryptocurrency, debunking myths and sharing how to spot clues in financial records. If you suspect money is being hidden or moved, or you’re just trying to get your financial bearings, you’ll find step-by-step guidance and a reassuring message: you can take control and secure your future.  Plus, Tracy Coenen shares resources, including free tools and online courses, to help you get started, and offers advice on when it makes sense to invest in a forensic accountant or handle things yourself.  About the Guest Tracy Coenen has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could become a CPA… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.  For Tracy’s complimentary resource: https://divorcemoneyguide.com/plan/  To connect with Tracy: https://www.divorcemoneyguide.com

Legal Abuse And High-Conflict Divorces - Lisa Johnson In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There, Got Out, to discuss the complex and often hidden world of legal abuse in high-conflict divorces. Lisa shares her personal journey of navigating post-divorce legal battles, not over custody, but over financial issues, and highlights the crucial role her attorney and an airtight parenting plan played in protecting her children. The conversation delves into the reality that a significant minority of divorce cases (approximately 15-20%) become highly conflicted and can drag on for years, often due to one party abusing the legal system. Lisa explains the concept of legal abuse, where the legal system is weaponized as a tool for control, harassment, and intimidation, either through repeated frivolous litigation or refusal to comply with court orders. She shares how this ongoing cycle can be emotionally and financially draining, and even traumatic, for those on the receiving end. The episode also explores the responsibilities and opportunities for the legal profession to address legal abuse, including how some attorneys and organizations are beginning to take action against unethical practices. Lisa expands on the importance of having court orders with clear deadlines and consequences and emphasizes seeking out professionals, attorneys, mediators, divorce coaches, and others, who are trained to handle high-conflict situations to minimize the need for court intervention.

Legal Abuse And High-Conflict Divorces - Lisa Johnson In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There, Got Out, to discuss the complex and often hidden world of legal abuse in high-conflict divorces. Lisa shares her personal journey of navigating post-divorce legal battles, not over custody, but over financial issues, and highlights the crucial role her attorney and an airtight parenting plan played in protecting her children. The conversation delves into the reality that a significant minority of divorce cases (approximately 15-20%) become highly conflicted and can drag on for years, often due to one party abusing the legal system. Lisa explains the concept of legal abuse, where the legal system is weaponized as a tool for control, harassment, and intimidation, either through repeated frivolous litigation or refusal to comply with court orders. She shares how this ongoing cycle can be emotionally and financially draining, and even traumatic, for those on the receiving end. The episode also explores the responsibilities and opportunities for the legal profession to address legal abuse, including how some attorneys and organizations are beginning to take action against unethical practices. Lisa expands on the importance of having court orders with clear deadlines and consequences and emphasizes seeking out professionals, attorneys, mediators, divorce coaches, and others, who are trained to handle high-conflict situations to minimize the need for court intervention.  More about Mardi: Mardi Winder-Adams is a certified divorce transition and high-conflict divorce coach, with experience as a domestic violence client advocate and behavioral consultant for schools.
