E05: Divorce & The Balance Sheet—Debt Division

When the marriage ends, the bills don’t just disappear—they get divided. In this episode, we tackle the "heavy" side of the balance sheet: liabilities. From mortgages and credit cards to the complexities of student loans and family "loans" that were meant to be gifts, we explore how debt is equitably allocated under Illinois law. Learn why "equal" doesn’t always mean "equitable," how to handle post-separation spending sprees, and why a simple promissory note could save your inheritance. Whether you’re dealing with Section 513 college expenses or business debts, this episode provides the roadmap for navigating the financial fallout of divorce.

E02: Love, Honor, and Assets: The Prenup

Most people think a prenup is about planning for an end, but at Family Law Solutions, we believe it’s about planning for a beginning. This podcast dives into why the most romantic thing you can do is be honest about your future. We explore how to protect what you’ve built while honoring the person you're building a life with. By the end of the podcast, you'll see a prenup not as an "exit strategy," but as a foundation-building tool that ensures both partners feel seen, heard, and secure before they ever say "I do."  Connect with Family Law Solutions: * Learn More: Visit our website [https://familylawsolutionschicago.com/] for resources and guides. * Join the Conversation: Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram @familylawsolutionschicago for professional insights and industry resources. * Work With Us: To schedule a consultation with our team, call 312-332-1344.
