How to Plan Your Financial Success After Divorce

On this episode of Spotlight on eWomenNetwork, Kathy Costas begins her story of divorce from the kitchen floor of her home where she lay after her now ex-husband had choked her until she passed out. He had never been violent in the 19 years they had been married, but once he knew she was done with the marriage he became desperate and physically violent. At the time she was only working part time and had 3 kids age 8,11 and 13. She eventually got a lifetime restraining order, full custody of the kids and survived a 6 year "soup to nuts" divorce. After that horrific experience, Kathy made it her mission to become a trusted adviser for women going through a divorc. She is now one of only 2000 Certified Divorce Financial Analysts - a certification that qualifies her more than an attorney to provide financial planning advice.
