Married couples over 50 are the fastest growing segment of the population divorcing.  There are numerous unique challenges with Grey Divorce.  Your children are older, which means you may need boundaries around their opinions and your desire to lean on them emotionally or financially.  You most likely have more life behind you than you have ahead of you. This limits your ability to recoup funds lost in the divorce.  It may impact spousal support if the monied spouse is close to retirement age.  You also may have more assets to split up. You may have to go back to work after decades of being a stay at home parent.  Tune in as our expert shares the challenges and solutions to navigating divorce in later years.Karen Covy is a Divorce Coach, Life Strategist, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker and Author.

Divorce is devastating. It can be traumatizing, and it can take years to recover fully. Some people recover so much quicker than others. Why is that? Because some people get stuck and they just can't move on. In this episode, Divorce Coach, Karen Covy and I offer tips on how to not get stuck and/or how to get unstuck. Learn more: https://www.divorcedgirlsmiling.com/why-some-people-recover-from-divorce-and-others-stay-stuck/

In this episode, I chat with “recovering” attorney and divorce coach Karen Covy. Karen talks about her dislike for the divorce system in the United States and how she transitioned to work as a divorce coach. Karen distinguishes between the work of a divorce coach and a therapist and encourages divorcing parties to a team approach to divorce. Thanks for listening!

Today on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by guest Karen Covy as she shares what you need to know and do to make good decisions.  This is especially important during divorce, so listen in!  Divorce is a time when you are going to make important life decisions in a short period. If you don't know how or don't do it well, you will kick yourself in the aftermath. When discussing divorce, we don't typically talk about making sound, reasoned decisions and, more specifically, how to make them. In this episode, Karen takes us through a scientific approach to decision-making. She helps you become the CEO of divorce and learn how to make those big decisions and do it well.  You never want to look back and think, I wish I had thought that through more clearly - so be sure to listen and learn!

She coaches busy professionals and business owners who want to make clear, confident decisions during highly-charged emotional situations. Karen also helps her clients become the CEOs of their divorce so that they can navigate their divorce with less conflict, less expense, and less damage to themselves and their children.  Topics and Golden Nuggets include: What the science of decision-making tells us about deciding to divorce - Hint: it's all emotional. How to make a big, emotional decision when there's a lot at stake, and you don't want to screw up  “A big part of the decision-making process is figuring out what you want and then believing you have the ability to create that thing.” Where to start when deciding whether you should stay or go  Why it's important to reality-test your options “If you don't take action on a decision, it's not really a decision.” **************************************** About this week's special guest: Karen Covy Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker and Author.

Your divorce is serious business. Sounds overwhelming, but it's exactly why taking the lead to ensure the best outcomes should be your priority. Divorce and Decision Coach Karen Covy guides and empowers women to be the CEO of their divorces, helping them make better decisions aligned with the future they want to prevent bigger messes in relationships and finances. It's not about being in competition with your ex. It's finally owning the situation, putting your hands on the wheel, and steering the journey toward what matters most to you. Tune in to this episode on Why You Need to be the CEO of Your Divorce with Karen Covy Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ Stop telling yourself you can't! Take a breath, and do what you gotta do to deal with your emotions to avoid making rash choices.  ✔️ Get support. And it doesn't have to be friends and family. Coaches, therapists, and groups provide different kinds of encouragement and helpful insight that you can use to keep pushing through. ✔️ Know what you want and negotiate. You can't focus on a vision if you don't have one. What do you want your future to look like, in terms of your kids, finances, and relationship with yourself? Discuss this with your spouse and set firm boundaries. ✔️ You know your spouse better than your attorney. Listen to their advice, but in the end, every major move you make in this journey should be based on the wishes you've clearly stated. ✔️ Do the necessary inner work. This applies most especially if you're dealing with a high-conflict, narcissistic ex-spouse. Give yourself the space and tools to think things through and avoid creating long-term messes. You deserve a thriving future and the peace of mind of a new life. Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, lawyer, mediator, speaker, and author.

Oct 24 – In today's Lifetime Planning episode, Financial Sense Newshour's Jim Puplava speaks with divorce coach and attorney Karen Covy on the role of technology on divorce today, the impact that Covid has had not just on divorce rates but also...

This week, former divorce attorney Karen Covy joins Mandy again to discuss the ins and outs of understanding how divorce can affect health insurance and what people can do before, during, and after divorce to keep their coverage.

Coach and attorney Karen Covy saw her divorce as an opportunity to help people in need. Everybody's story is wildly different, but Karen Covy noticed women going through the same crossroads and making the same mistakes. Now, she shares her expertise and advice so you can avoid them and go on the other side stronger and better than ever.   Tune in to this episode on Biggest Mistakes People Going Through Divorce Make with Karen Covy.   Key points covered in this episode:     ✔️Understand financial implications. Settlements are not always 50/50. Even if your situation seems simple on paper, it won't hurt to spend an hour with a financial advisor. ✔️Know what you want. Who should decide who gets to take the kids to school on Tuesdays? Not the judges. It should be YOU. You know what's best for your family. Just be sure your ex-spouse agrees with it, too.  ✔️Keep moving.  Any movement is better than no movement. Nothing gets solved all at once. It's key to take baby steps – one thing at a time – and consult a therapist to help you get through the physical and mental toll. ✔️Be prepared. It gives you the absolute best chance of getting what you want and ending up where you want to be. Get your head in the game. Know what you're willing to compromise and your deal breakers. ✔️Home is where you are. Is moving the best idea? Should you sell your house? Strip out the emotion, and make your decision. Whatever it is, there's nothing wrong with choosing to let go of the memories – both good and bad. ✔️ You are so much more than your divorce. Nobody gets married to get divorced or to believe that's where it's heading. But if it happens to you, don't blame yourself. Remember that there's a life after this.

If you can work cooperatively with your spouse through the end of your marriage, it's better all round. Better for your emotional health, better for your kids and absolutely better for your wallet.But that's not always possible especially when there's been domestic abuse, whether it's physical. emotional or financial.Abuse makes ending a relationship much, much more difficult. We know that on average it takes a victim seven attempts to leave an abuser before staying away for good. We also know that the risk of being killed increases 75 percent when a woman tries to leave her batterer. Those are somber statistics.Getting a protection order is one way of shielding yourself.

If you're looking for guidance on divorcing with adult children, you might not find much.They tend to be the forgotten demograhic: the legal system is all about minor children and there simply hasn't been much research on the impact of divorce in adult children. That's probably because until recently divorce among people with long term marriages was less common. That's changing and in fact, the divorce rate among people aged 50 and older is increasing. That means more and more adults are experiencing their parents' divorce.What we're finding is that the age of the children doesn't matter - they will still care that you're divorcing and their age doesn't make it any easier or harder to handle. Their age brings its own set of problems and complications.Joining Mandy for this Conversation is divorce-attorney-turned divorce adviser and coach Karen Covy.

Businesses come in all shapes and sizes. If the business is making money, then it's pretty obvious that there's going to be a discussion about how that business should be valued and divided in divorce and there's rarely one answer to that.If the business isn't making any money, then a common mistake is thinking that it can be ignored. It can't. You may still need to discuss compensation for the startup expenses and you'll definitely want protection from future debts and liabilities.Joining Mandy to discuss this complicated area is Chicago-based divorce adviser, attorney, mediator and coach, Karen Covy.

Anyone with a pet understands that people become emotionally attached to their animals and that bond can as strong as the bond we make with human friends.Yet, the law, for the most part sees pets as property,  to be divided as the household furniture is to be divided.That sets the stage for lose-win settlements. Judges, even those who have pets and can empathize with divorcing parties, are bound by the law. Ordering arrangements that recognize and take into account the emotional attachments of both parties could get them into trouble. So one party typically gets the pet and other doesn’t. That’s a win-lose.Far better, for the parties, and probably the pets, to work out an arrangement without going to court. And you can be very creative!Mandy’s guest for this Conversation is Chicago-based attorney, mediator and educator Karen Covy. Karen has handled a number of pet custody situations and shares her tips on how to avoid the win-lose option.Karen offers a Divorce Tool Kit that includes a divorce document checklist, parenting plan provisions, budget worksheets and more.
