150. The Easiest Way to Save Money in Your Divorce

Think saving money during divorce is impossible? Think again. In this episode, Andrea and Morgan serve up the real (and hilarious) talk on how to actually cut your legal costs without sacrificing your sanity—or your settlement. From bulletproof email tips to why paralegals are your secret weapon, they’re spilling the strategies that your wallet will thank you for. Bonus: Andrea might just be learning all the words to American Pie, so there’s that too.

What you'll learn:

• How bullet-point emails can save you hundreds (yes, hundreds) of dollars
• Why scheduling quick, focused calls can be smarter (and cheaper) than endless emails
• The right way to ask your attorney for help without skyrocketing your bill
• Why working with an associate or paralegal can be a total financial game-changer
• The exact language to use when your legal bill makes you want to faint

Burning questions answered in this episode:

• How do you ask for cost-saving options without insulting your attorney?
• When should you insist on a phone call instead of an email?
• What should you do if you’re feeling totally overwhelmed by the documents you need to gather?
• How can you tell if your case really needs a big-name partner or if an associate will do just fine?
