📝 Episode 5 Summary: This week on the Divorce Queens Podcast, Taylor and Rachel are calling out one of the biggest myths in divorce:

that the court is going to make you do things you don’t want to do.

From fears about selling the house to being forced to put your homeschooled kids into public school, there’s a lot of unnecessary panic about the court being the ultimate authority in your life. But here’s the truth: the court is not your parent.

And most of the time, the decisions that shape your post-divorce life? You get to make them.

In this episode, we break down:

Why fear of the court keeps so many women stuck

The difference between what can happen and what usually happens

How couples can make agreements about finances, parenting, and property without a judge

What it really means to preserve your autonomy in the divorce process

What to say when someone tells you “you can’t just decide that on your own!”

Whether you're getting divorced amicably or gearing up for a courtroom fight, this episode is your reminder that you’re still the grown-up — and you deserve to make the choices that shape your life moving forward.

🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever thought:

“But what if the court makes me sell the house?”

“We can’t just agree on maintenance, right?”

“Won’t the judge just decide everything anyway?”

We’re here to say: No, not necessarily.

And yes, you can make empowered decisions outside the courtroom.
