The Do’s & Do Not’s of Divorce With Leona Krasner

Hi friends, it’s Erica! 

Divorce is a challenging and emotionally charged process that requires careful navigation. In a recent episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club podcast, I sat down with Leona Krasner, a managing partner at Krasner Law specializing in family law in New York and New Jersey, to discuss the complexities of divorce and share valuable insights for those going through this difficult journey.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

Finding the right lawyer for your specific needs: Different phases of the divorce process may require different types of legal representation. It's crucial to align yourself with a lawyer who understands your unique situation, treats you with respect, and provides the necessary support. Leona advises scheduling consultations with potential lawyers and seeking recommendations from community groups to find the best fit.

Financial transparency and organization: Leona stresses the significance of being aware of all financial accounts, including joint and individual assets, retirement accounts, and financial statements. She advises monitoring incoming mail from financial institutions and conducting thorough legwork to ensure a clear understanding of your financial situation. 

Focusing on your own needs and desires: Both Leona and I encourage listeners to move beyond seeking apologies or validation from their ex-spouse and instead prioritize their own happiness and well-being. This may involve reevaluating your motives for continuing legal battles and choosing to let go of certain fights in favor of a more peaceful resolution.

Join me for this week’s Dos and Don'ts of Divorce to avoid being stuck battling for years over toys, trains and tools.
