Pros and Cons Of a DIY Divorce with Guest, Tracey Bee, JD

In this episode, the conversation centers around the real-life pros and cons of handling a divorce on your own. Mardi Winder talks with Tracey Bee, sharing her story as a former family law attorney turned court strategist. Listeners get a down-to-earth look at what it really takes to go through divorce without hiring a lawyer. Tracey talks about why she left traditional law to help people complete their own divorce, and she’s honest about how tough family court can be, especially when there’s conflict, complicated finances, or one party who isn’t playing fair. Throughout the episode, there’s an emphasis on knowing when a DIY (pro se) divorce might make sense, such as in straightforward situations with little drama or complicated financial matters. Tracey also highlights a few warning signs that signal you really should have a lawyer, including abuse, a language barrier, or big financial stakes. She points out that judges and attorneys have their own way of operating, which often doesn’t line up with what people expect from watching TV or reading online, so it’s important to have realistic expectations from the start. There’s plenty of practical advice on preparing for mediation, getting clear about what you want, and not getting too caught up in specific outcomes. Tracey and Mardi remind listeners to focus on what their life could look like after the divorce, rather than just fighting for one result or another. The episode wraps with a genuinely helpful reminder: just because you can handle things solo doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice, and having the right support and information is what really makes the difference.
