In this episode, we delve into the critical role of financial lifestyle analysis during divorce with Alison Porter, founder of Pennywise Consultants. Since launching the firm in 2010, Alison has brought her sharp analytical eye to high-profile and everyday cases alike – beginning with a landmark case where her findings uncovered hidden spending that ultimately helped secure a favourable financial settlement for her client. Alison now specialises in preparing and challenging clear, evidence-based expenditure reports that are often pivotal in both mediation and court proceedings.

We discuss:

* Why conducting a thorough expenditure analysis is vital in divorce proceedings

* Common mistakes people make when assessing their expenses – and how to avoid them

* How to spot and address an over-inflated budget to ensure fairness

* What categories should be included in an expenditure analysis, especially for those unfamiliar with managing household finances

* How to create a realistic post-divorce budget, particularly when shifting from two incomes to one

* Additional financial considerations for expats navigating divorce abroad

Whether you’re mid-divorce or supporting clients through the process, this episode sheds light on a powerful tool that can make all the difference when it comes to achieving a fair financial outcome.
