  • Empowering Female Investors: Insights from Laurie Itkin
    Laurie stresses the importance of financial literacy for women, especially post-divorce. She notes, "Many women are unprepared to manage wealth due to lack of financial literacy." Laurie advises living below means and investing savings to build wealth, as detailed in her book, "Every Woman Should Know Her Options."
  • Avoid Costly Mistakes: Prenups Essential for Marrying After 50
    Laurie warns that not understanding state laws on separate property can lead to costly divorces. "Without a prenup, assets like real estate may become community property." Refinancing a home during marriage can result in shared ownership. Laurie emphasizes the importance of prenups to avoid financial surprises and protect assets.
  • Understanding QDRO: Essential for Dividing Retirement Assets in Divorce
    Laurie emphasizes that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is crucial for dividing retirement accounts like 401ks and pensions in divorce. Without it, a spouse may lose access to retirement funds. She warns against misconceptions and stresses the importance of hiring a QDRO preparer to secure rightful shares of marital property.
