In this episode of We Chat Divorce, hosts Karen and Catherine are joined by special guest Tracy Malone, a recognized expert in narcissistic abuse and divorce coaching, to delve into essential yet often-overlooked financial considerations in parenting plans. Tracy introduces her new program, ParentingPlans.org, which supports parents in building comprehensive, forward-thinking parenting plans. These plans address not only custody arrangements but also the critical financial components that typical child support agreements may miss.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Financial protections to include in parenting plans
  • Why parenting plans should extend beyond time-sharing and custody
  • Addressing shared expenses for children, such as braces, sports, and technology
  • Preventing conflicts by defining financial responsibilities from the start
  • Empowering parents with tools and resources for creating thorough parenting plans

Tracy Malone is a renowned author, speaker, and educator, recognized globally for her work in narcissistic abuse and divorce coaching.
