Divorce isn't just a legal process—it’s an emotional and logistical transformation. In this episode of The Divorce Queens Podcast, Taylor and Rachel break down exactly what to expect in the divorce process.

Whether you’re just thinking about separating or are mid-way through your case, this episode will help you understand what has to happen in every divorce: gathering information, making informed decisions, and choosing the right path forward.

You’ll learn:

What decisions have to be made in every divorce (no matter how you do it)

The importance of understanding your finances, parenting dynamics, and long-term goals

Why you shouldn’t wait to gather documents and get clarity—even if you’re not ready to file

The different process options:

DIY Mediation Collaborative divorce

Hybrid models

Traditional legal representation

Tips for choosing the right approach for your unique situation

How to avoid rushing into agreements you’ll regret later

Plus, we talk about what can go wrong when you try to “just get it over with” and why a little strategy now can save you years of frustration later.

💬 Favorite quote: “Divorce is about decisions. You have to make them for yourself, your family, and your future. No one else gets to dictate what that looks like—not even the court—unless you give up that power.”
