In this first myth-busting episode, Kate was joined by Tracey Moloney**, known to many as The Legal Queen **on Tiktok and other social media platforms.
About the episode:
Kate and Tracey spent this episode busting common divorce and separation myths such as whether or not you need a solicitor to get divorced, when a financial order is needed in divorce proceedings, if common-law spouses exist and whether cohabiting couples have rights to property. This is part one of two myth-busting episodes, so keep an eye out for part two.
