Divorce is one of the most financially complex events a person can go through, and most people face it without anyone in their corner who understands the numbers. Advisor in Your Corner is hosted by Alex Weinberger, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and founder of Marriage Financial Solutions, a financial consulting firm based in Los Angeles.
Each episode covers the financial decisions that matter most during divorce: retirement accounts, tax consequences, property division, support calculations, and the hidden costs that often go unexamined until it is too late. The goal is to give you clear, honest information so you can make better decisions, ask better questions, and walk away from the process on solid financial footing.
Whether you are just beginning to think about divorce, in the middle of one, or working through the financial aftermath, this show is built for you.

Should You Keep the House? The Hidden Tax Math of Divorce
Keeping the marital home can feel less like a financial decision than like keeping your footing. It's also one of the largest, least reversible money decisions in the entire divorce, and the number on the spreadsheet usually isn't the real number. In this episode, Alex Weinberger explains why a house is not the same as cash, the capital gains exclusion that quietly drops from 500,000 to 250,000 dollars the day a divorce is final, and the embedded basis that travels with the home in a buyout. ...

The Double Dip: When the Same Dollars Get Divided, Then Counted Again
Most people never see the double dip coming, because it hides in the gap between two different parts of a divorce. The same dollars get counted once when a business or pension is valued and divided, and then again as income when support is calculated. One stream, two bites. In this episode, Alex Weinberger explains what the double dip actually is, why the valuation method rather than the asset itself determines whether it exists, and how California courts have treated it since Marriage of Whi...

The After Tax Mirage: Why a 50/50 Divorce Split Rarely Is Equal

The reason is tax, and in a high net worth estate the gap can be the size of a house. This episode is for family law attorneys, mediators, and the divorcing clients they advise. We walk through why an equal looking division so often is not equal once tax is accounted for, and how to catch the gap before a settlement is signed. In this episode: Why an equal balance s...

Hiding Money in Divorce: How Spouses Use Crypto, Venmo, and Gift Cards in 2026
In 2026, hiding money in a divorce looks nothing like it did a generation ago.
