CE Family Law Conversations: Podcast 8 - Navigating Financial Futures After Separation

Описание: In this episode of CE Family Law Conversations, Lauren Copeland, Director of CE Family Law, sits down with Cara Julian, Director of Brava Finance and author of "Why You Should Date Your Bank and Not Marry Them." Cara shares her personal journey from financial vulnerability after separation to becoming a trusted mortgage broker specialising in helping people build financial confidence in the property market.

Going through a separation often leaves people feeling uncertain about their financial future, particularly when it comes to property decisions. Whether you're considering whether to keep the family home, rent as a strategic choice, or planning your next property purchase, the journey can feel overwhelming, especially for individuals who may have been excluded from financial decision-making during their relationship.

They discuss making informed decisions about the family home, the strategic benefits of renting during your reset period, how separation impacts your borrowing capacity, and the importance of building a professional support team. Plus, they address common financial mistakes to avoid.
In this podcast, we discussed:
• Smart property decisions post-separation and the real costs of keeping the family home
• Strategic advantages of renting during your reset period and exploring "rent vesting" as an alternative
• How separation impacts borrowing capacity and credit protection
• Family law settlement requirements for mortgage applications
• Building your professional support team and avoiding common financial mistakes
• Practical steps for getting back into the property market when you're ready

Whether you're wondering about keeping your home, considering your next property move, or simply trying to understand your financial position post-separation, this episode offers practical guidance to help you navigate this challenging transition.
