Navigating divorce is complex, but when you're a parent of a child with special needs, it becomes even more overwhelming and intricate. In this episode, Olivia sits down with Angela O’Brien, a professional organizer, Enneagram coach, and special needs advocate, to discuss the unique challenges of divorce for families with special needs children. Angela shares critical legal, financial, and emotional considerations that parents need to address, including guardianship, financial planning, special needs trusts, and government benefits. With the divorce rate among special needs families higher than the national average, this episode provides essential guidance and support for parents facing this life transition.

Angela also dives into how to build the right divorce team, why finding a lawyer and financial planner with special needs experience is crucial, and how to navigate custody, child support, and long-term care planning. She explains why parents must advocate for their child's future while also prioritizing their own well-being, ensuring they have the mental and emotional strength to navigate legal and financial systems. Whether you're just starting the divorce process or preparing for the next phase of your child's life, this conversation is packed with practical tools, expert insights, and words of encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.
