Single Mother Survival Guide

Becoming a single mum is one of the most daunting and overwhelming life changes someone will ever go through. Whether you are pregnant or have teenagers, you will most likely be confused and struggling with what to do next. I became a single mother in 2013 when my daughter was just a few months old, and it has been a challenging but rewarding journey ever since. This Podcast (and the website www.singlemothersurvivalguide.com) was created to assist newly single mothers in all things they may need to know about. SO WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOTHER SURVIVAL GUIDE PODCAST ABOUT? A Podcast for single mums, made by a single mum… The Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast includes a mixture of me babbling about single mums business, and interviews and discussions with different people and experts about different topics. First off the ranks this includes an interview with a Wills and Estate lawyer which contains everything YOU need to know about getting a Will done, an interview with a financial adviser on everyday money management, savings, spending and so forth, an interview with an online security expert so that YOU know how to keep yourself secure online, an open interview with a domestic violence survivor and advocate, and another interview with a financial adviser on everything to do with insurance, and what you should think about getting insured to ensure the financial safety for you and your kids. Coming up after that I have chats with people including parenting experts, family lawyers, and a life coach. I also chat about the social stigma of being a single mum, single parent travel, everyday tips to make YOUR life easier, dating, personal budgeting, resources out there to help YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN, child support, domestic violence, successful co-parenting, advantages to being a single mum, and the list goes on…

This story has to be heard to be believed. In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with single mum Rebecca McKeown. After becoming a single parent as a teenager, Rebecca completely turned her life around - she became a motivational speaker for young parents, and then graduated as a nurse with the help of her anonymous guardian angel. A severe car accident when she was 32 weeks pregnant threw another array of obstacles her way - the car accident left her second child with medical issues, it made her temporarily paralysed, and she become a single parent again. Once again she found her feet even though more challenges came her way. Rebecca is a positive role model for single mothers and an example of the strength that we are all capable of. Rebecca is such a positive person and is now paying it forward to other single mothers. Rebecca shares her story with us and how she balances looking after herself as a single mum. She also tells us what she's learnt from her experiences, and shares her money saving secrets with us.

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with family lawyer, Kate Pateman. The topic of this week's episode is "I'm separated...now what?". Kate and Julia discuss what steps to take, and what to consider from a legal perspective when you are separated. This includes:

  • a generalised process of what happens after separation, particularly if there are children involved,
  • how to navigate child care arrangements,
  • financial matters,
  • what to do if one party is a business owner,
  • child support issues,
  • property settlement,
  • the psychology of separation and negotiations, 
  • the best way to document any agreements, and
  • LOTS MORE!

 

Kate is the founder and Principal Collaborative Family Lawyer at KLP Family Law. She has practiced exclusively in the area of Family Law for almost a decade and has acquired vast experience throughout that time in all aspects of Family Law.

She is a leader in providing expert Family Law advice and provides realistic and commercial advice to her clients which has resulted in a better understanding for her clients of the process and of their entitlements. This generally leads to early and cost effective settlements as people are reasonable and empowered when they are confident that they have received the right advice and have a good understanding of the process and their rights.

Kate has a particular passion for and focus on financial matters involving complex issues and significant property pools.
