Recognizing the Signs: A Smarter, More Empathetic Approach to Divorce

Hosted by Deborah Moskovich and Steve Peck

Featuring Insights from the Pioneering Voice Behind The Smart Divorce

In this powerful and thought-provoking achievement episode of The Smart Divorce on Divorce Source Radio, host Deborah Moskovich joins Steve Peck to explore the critical—but often overlooked—early warning signs that a spouse may be planning to divorce. Framed with compassion and wisdom, this conversation is a landmark in divorce education, laying the groundwork for what would later become the Soft Landing Podcast.

Why This Episode Matters

• It shines a light on the emotional and financial cues that often precede a separation—like rejigging gifts from in-laws, juggling assets, and withdrawals from joint credit lines.
• It validates the confusion, fear, and isolation people feel when blindsided by divorce.
• It emphasizes introspection, emotional readiness, and professional guidance over reactionary decisions.

What You'll Take Away

• Signs that your relationship may be in quiet crisis.
• The critical role of financial awareness and self-advocacy.
• Why friends may not be the best advisors—and how a divorce consultant can provide clarity and calm.

This episode is not just a guide—it’s a compassionate companion for anyone navigating uncertainty in their marriage. It's also a pivotal moment in reshaping how we talk about divorce: with honesty, dignity, and hope.
