Alimony Unfiltered | My Hot Takes on Alimony for Both the Giver and the Recipient

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged parts of divorce: alimony. Whether you're the one paying or receiving, this conversation is filled with insights to help you move beyond the myths, understand your rights and responsibilities, and create a strategy that makes sense for your financial future. I share what I see most often with clients, how courts actually approach spousal support, and why clarity, not conflict, should lead the conversation. Some key takeaways from this episode include: 🔹 Alimony is not a punishment or a prize. It's a tool to support financial transition—and it requires realistic planning, not emotional reactions. 🔹 Your budget needs to be strategic and reasonable. Courts don’t preserve lifestyles; they evaluate needs. Work with a CDFA®, know your numbers, and be honest about what’s essential. 🔹 Independence is the ultimate goal. Whether you're paying or receiving, support is temporary. What you really need is a plan to stand on your own. Gabriella E.
