PURCHASE RECORDING

Divorce is a subject we don’t like to discuss.  But to ignore the possibility of it can be folly – personally, professionally, and financially.

Dr. Mandy Ashley, a pediatric dentist with a thriving practice in Bowling Green, KY, is the inspiration for this webinar.  She is one of the co-presenters and shares her personal experiences having gone through the process -- and provides her perspective on why a course on this topic is vital for married doctors (particularly women) as well as for those contemplating marriage.

Attorneys Brandon Collier and Eric Broder, principal at the family law firm Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie LLC in Westport, CT, are co-presenters with Mandy.  Brandon discusses successful financial planning before and after divorce, and Eric focuses on the divorce process, division of assets, alimony, child support, prenuptial agreements, and more.
