Overcoming Financial Abuse: Insights From a Financial Analyst

Hi, welcome to MediatorPodcast.com, a podcast and video series about mediation, negotiation, and collaboration. My name is Melissa Gragg, and I'm a valuation expert and divorce mediator in St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in divorce and partnership disputes, but today we're gonna discuss overcoming financial abuse and insights from a financial analyst with Leah Hadley.

Leah's actually a CDFA or Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and an Accredited Financial Counselor. Leah is based in Cleveland, Ohio, and she's committed to working with people in a very compassionate fashion, and offers them financial guidance through different life issues such as divorce.

1. Why would someone engage in your services in addition to an attorney, mediator, or financial professional?
2. Can you share insights on your experience working with clients who have faced financial abuse? How does that work differ from other clients?
3. What leads to the financial abuse? Are there warning signs?
4. Are there specific patterns you see in the financial abuser?
5. What point in the relationship does the financial abuse start to happen?
6. How can the non-monied spouse protect themselves from financial abuse?
7. Divorce is an emotionally charged process. How do you help clients make rational financial decisions when their emotions are running high?
8. Can you share an example of when your expertise made a significant difference in a financially abusive case?
9. Tell us about how you support clients who are going through a divorce.
