Common Myths Around Financial Aspects of Divorce - #1 Attorneys Should File Financial Affidavits

Hi, welcome to MediatorPodcast.com, a podcast and video series about mediation, negotiation, and collaboration. My name is Melissa Gragg, and I'm a valuation expert and divorce financial mediator in St. Louis, Missouri. Today, we are joined by Rosalia Labate, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and Certified Public Accountant located in New York. She specializes in financial forensics, divorce finances, and business valuations. Although we work in a lot of the same spaces, our approaches differ slightly.

In this podcast series, we will explore three common myths surrounding the financial aspects of divorce. This will be a conversational podcast featuring two financial experts with decades of experience in divorce. We often encounter the same questions from our clients, so we thought it would be interesting to offer different perspectives on these myths.

Today, we'll discuss Myth One, which has been widely debated online, including on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The myth in question is that an attorney is the best person to file the financial affidavit. Rosalia, could you start us off by explaining this myth, and what exactly a financial affidavit is?
