Content Creator Shares Critical Divorce Advice for Women After 20-Year Marriage
A recent online video by content creator Carly has sparked discussion by offering candid advice to women undergoing divorce, particularly after lengthy marriages. Carly, who recently finalized her own divorce after two decades, underscored the critical need for legal counsel. "Divorce is business," she stated, emphasizing it as a financial negotiation where women must be financially protected, especially if they've been stay-at-home mothers. She argued that a woman's domestic contributions directly support her husband's career, entitling her to half of all marital assets. Carly urged women to research the 'motherhood penalty' and 'fatherhood bonus' to understand the economic disparities often faced. She also cautioned against lawyers who might prolong cases or pressure clients into unfavorable settlements, reminding viewers that they have the right to change legal representation. The video, which directs viewers to a more detailed Substack article, aims to empower women to advocate for themselves during what she described as an "extremely stressful" process.
