Karen and Catherine are joined by the esteemed Susan Guthrie to discuss an often-overlooked yet critical aspect of divorce: the power of pausing. Susan shares her decades of experience as a top family law attorney and mediator, emphasizing how taking a pause can create space for rational decisions, foster cooperation, and significantly reduce conflict during divorce.
Key Takeaways:
The Importance of Pausing:
Taking a moment to breathe after making the decision to divorce can help reduce emotional reactivity and prevent costly mistakes.
Avoid Rushing to Hire an Attorney:
A divorce coach or financial professional may be a better first step to ensure you are prepared and informed before choosing the right legal representation.
Mediation and Cooperation:
Susan highlights how mediation and other cooperative processes focus on creating a forward-looking solution rather than litigating the past, which often leads to better outcomes.
Understanding Your Team Needs:
Building a team of professionals, including financial experts, mediators, and specialized attorneys, tailored to your divorce's unique complexities, can save time, money, and stress.
Conflict Cycles:
Reactive and aggressive behaviors, such as draining accounts or hiring overly adversarial attorneys, can escalate conflict unnecessarily. Pausing and focusing on respectful communication can prevent these cycles.
We Chat Divorce: Supporting you through every step of your divorce journey with clarity, empowerment, and expert advice.

In this episode of My Divorce Solution, Karen and Catherine dive into a recent article published
by MSN and Money Talks News, titled, “Seven Things to Do ASAP When Your Spouse Wants
a Divorce.” Together, they unpack each recommendation, offering valuable insights and
alternative approaches based on their own expertise in legal and financial guidance through the
divorce process.
From understanding why hiring an attorney shouldn’t always be the first step to protecting your
financial future with proper preparation, Karen and Catherine offer actionable advice to help you
navigate this difficult time with confidence and clarity. They also cover essential topics like
reviewing your credit report, managing joint accounts, keeping the divorce process amicable,
and communicating with your children during this challenging transition.
Topics Covered:
● Why hiring an attorney may not be the first step you need to take
● The importance of reviewing your credit report and financial accounts
● How to protect your savings and prevent unnecessary financial strain
● The power of keeping things amicable during divorce
● Why picking your battles is key to a smooth transition
● How to effectively communicate with your children about divorce
● The value of MDS’s Financial Portrait in preparing for divorce
Key Takeaways:
1. Financial Preparation: Know your assets and debts before you even think about hiring
an attorney.
2. Keep Things Friendly: Avoid jumping into aggressive actions like closing joint accounts
too early.
3. Talk to Your Children: Make sure both parents are on the same page before discussing
the divorce with your kids.
4. Credit Awareness: Check your credit report—don’t just rely on your credit score.
5. Avoid Premature Negotiations: Don’t negotiate away important assets without knowing
the full financial picture.

Cherie Morris practices as a Divorce Coach and Parent Coordinator. She is trained as a lawyer,
yoga teacher and is also an author and mother.
Cherie’s legal training makes her approach to issues logical and reasoned. She began exploring
alternate dispute resolution and mediation in order to understand how to change the nature of
conflict and improve dynamics when conflict occurs, in litigation and otherwise, when a solely
rational approach may not succeed. Her approach to conflict now is that rational thinking must
be accompanied by the ability to empathize and compromise in order to achieve successful
results.
