Deciding how to handle child-related costs and expenses can be one of the most complicated–and contentious–parts of a divorce settlement.
Blogger's Bio
Katherine Miller
I have always had a keen interest in people. I come from a family of therapists but I always thought myself too opinionated to actually be a therapist myself so I decided to pursue another passion of mine: justice.
Once enrolled in law school, it didn’t take me long to realize that law school is not about justice so I returned to my interest in people and focused my education and my career on the intersection where the law meets people in their everyday lives.
It was until when I faced my own divorce, where I realized the pain that came with it.
From there, I decided to be on a mission to change how people divorce and help them divorce with dignity.
I'm also the host of a Podcast: Divorce Dialogues, where experts talk about all things related to divorce: money, children, relationships, moving, dating, and more.
Listen to Divorce Dialogues in Spotify, Apple Podcasts, in our website divorcedialogues.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.
