Getting the Financial Information You Need for a Fair Divorce—with Tracy Coenen - EP242

In a divorce where there’s a lot of money on the line, people hire a forensic accountant to expose any hidden assets that should be considered in the settlement.

But what if you don’t have $10,000 to hire a forensic accountant? What can middle class women do to access information about their financial situation and secure the settlement they deserve in divorce?

Tracy Coenen is the Forensic Accountant behind Fraud Coach, a platform that helps women have better financial outcomes in divorce.

Tracy is also the creator of the Divorce Money Guide and author of Find Me the Money: Take Control, Uncover the Truth, and Win the Money You Deserve in Your Divorce.
