GET THE DIVORCE CRASH COURSE!

In this mini episode of How Not To Suck At Divorce, Andrea Rappaport and family law attorney Morgan L. Stogsdill introduce something they’ve been quietly working on for months: the brand-new Divorce Crash Course (DCC).

This project has truly been a labor of love—built to give people going through divorce the information most attorneys simply don’t have time to walk you through.

And yes… this episode starts with Andrea surviving a spring break indoor water park, wearing airplane-sized noise-canceling headphones, smelling like pond water, and nearly losing her dignity.

But once the laughter settles, Andrea and Morgan dive into something that could change the way you navigate your divorce.

The Divorce Crash Course was created to help people avoid the most common—and most expensive—mistakes made during divorce.

Because the truth is:

Most people enter divorce with no roadmap, no strategy, and no idea what they don’t know yet.

That’s where the DCC comes in.

What Is the Divorce Crash Course?

The Divorce Crash Course is a private podcast paired with a downloadable guidebook designed to walk you step-by-step through the divorce process.

Inside the Crash Course, Andrea and Morgan break down the biggest issues people face in divorce and provide practical tools to help you make smarter decisions from the beginning.

Unlike typical divorce resources, the DCC combines:

1. a private podcast you can listen to anytime
2. a printable guidebook
3. clickable resources and templates
4. step-by-step guidance on navigating divorce

The goal?

To give you the same strategic insight Morgan gives her clients in a way that’s accessible, clear, and affordable.

Why This Divorce Crash Course Is Different

Andrea and Morgan spent hours building this program because they know how overwhelming divorce can feel.

Instead of leaving people to figure things out alone, the Divorce Crash Course provides:

1. A clear roadmap for navigating divorce
2. Guidance on how to communicate with your attorney
3. Tools to help you save money on legal fees
4. Templates to organize your finances and parenting plans
5. Insider tips on avoiding costly divorce mistakes

And thanks to the support of OurFamilyWizard and Soberlink, the program is available for a fraction of what similar legal resources cost.

What You'll Learn in the Divorce Crash Course

The Divorce Crash Course addresses some of the most common questions people have during divorce, including:

How to Save Money on Divorce Attorney Fees

Learn how to communicate with your attorney efficiently so you’re spending money where it matters most.

What to Do With the Family Home

Should you keep the house or sell it? The course walks through how to think about this decision logically and strategically.

How to Organize Your Divorce Finances

The guidebook includes a custom marital balance sheet template that helps you track assets, debts, and financial information before speaking with your attorney.

Parenting Plans and Custody Agreements

Divorce often becomes most emotional when discussing parenting time.

The course includes:

1. Common court-approved parenting schedules
2. Key provisions people forget to include in parenting agreements
3. Tips for negotiating custody arrangements effectively

The Most Common Divorce Mistakes

Andrea and Morgan also break down the most frequent—and expensive—mistakes people make during divorce and how to avoid them.

When you purchase the Divorce Crash Course, you’ll receive:

1. A private podcast with five guided episodes

Frequently Asked Question:

Do I Need the New Divorce Crash Course if I Bought the Old One?

This is the question Andrea has received most frequently.

The answer: Yes, the new Divorce Crash Course is different.

While some concepts may overlap with previous guides, this new version contains completely new content, additional tools, and a private podcast format that makes it easier to absorb the information step-by-step.

Why Andrea and Morgan Created This

Andrea went through divorce herself.

Morgan has spent nearly two decades practicing family law.

Between them, they’ve seen the same painful patterns over and over again:

People making expensive mistakes simply because they didn’t know what questions to ask.

The Divorce Crash Course was built to change that.

It’s designed to give people the knowledge and tools they need to move through divorce with more clarity, confidence, and control.

A Little Humor Along the Way

This mini episode wouldn’t be complete without the signature How Not To Suck At Divorce humor.

Between discussing the Divorce Crash Course, Andrea shares:

1. Her hatred of indoor water parks
2. The questionable hygiene of spring break crowds
3. Wearing pilot-style headphones in public to survive the noise
4. And the moment a stranger at Dunkin’ Donuts asked if she was her kids’ great grandmother

Because if you’re going to survive divorce…

You might as well laugh along the way.
