The moment a divorce becomes real, health insurance can feel like quicksand. Premiums spike, deadlines loom, and the plans you relied on may no longer cover the treatments that keep you well. We walk through a real client’s story to show how to evaluate COBRA, employer coverage, and ACA marketplace plans without guesswork or panic. The twist: even with a higher monthly premium, COBRA can sometimes save you money and protect continuity of care when you factor in deductibles, prescriptions, integrative therapies, and network access.


Health insurance choices are also legal strategy. We explain how to document costs and negotiate COBRA into temporary orders, spousal support, or property settlements, especially when one spouse keeps valuable workplace subsidies. To cap it off, our mailbag tackles QDROs—what they are, why your divorce judgment isn’t enough to divide retirement plans, and why using a specialist protects your share.

If you’re navigating divorce and want clarity, control, and peace of mind, this conversation gives you a step-by-step plan to protect your health and your wallet. Follow the show, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help others find these resources.
