About this episode
In today’s Divorce 101 A to Z episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia Howell breaks down one of the most essential pillars of divorce education: understanding your rights. Brought to you by the letter U and the number 5, this episode outlines the five fundamental rights every person should know when entering the divorce process, including the right to safety, financial transparency, marital assets, parenting involvement, and professional support.
Listeners learn why understanding their rights protects them from pressure, misinformation, or fear-based decision-making — and how clarity creates stability during an emotionally turbulent time. Olivia also offers a grounding reflection to help listeners identify the five questions they need answered to feel more confident.
This episode is ideal for anyone preparing for divorce, considering divorce, or supporting someone through the process.
