In this episode of Divorce Mortgage Strategies, host Jody Bruns sits down with Joe, a non-attorney mediator with a background in finance and negotiation, to explore the powerful intersection of divorce, mediation, and mortgage planning.
Together, they discuss:
✔ How Joe’s journey from corporate negotiation to divorce mediation shaped his approach
✔ The importance of understanding emotional equity vs. financial equity when deciding whether to keep the family home
✔ Why discovery must come before deciding in mediation—and how proper budgeting reveals the real picture
✔ The critical role Certified Divorce Lending Professionals (CDLP®) play in helping divorcing clients protect their financial future
✔ Creative solutions for keeping children in the home while balancing long-term financial stability
Whether you’re a family law professional, mediator, financial advisor, or mortgage professional, this episode offers practical strategies and real-world insights into supporting clients through one of the most challenging transitions of their lives.

At the Divorce Lending Association, our mission is to help divorcing homeowners make more informed decisions regarding their home equity solutions and the divorce team identify any potential conflicts between the divorce settlement, the mortgage, and real property.
Divorce Mortgage Planning is the ability to put into play the desired outcome by pairing the needs and options available while incorporating the necessary details and clarity into an executable settlement agreement to obtain closure and peace of mind successfully.
Are you going through a divorce and need information on refinancing your mortgage or buying anew home once the divorce is final? Often conflict arises out of a lack of knowledge. We have an amazing workshop available allowing you to take control of your situation and divorce mortgage planning so you are in a stronger position to negotiate while removing conflict and unrealistic expectations.
Visit the Divorce Lending Association for resources and strategies on divorce mortgage planning.
