In the book, Belle Burden recounts marrying a wildly successful businessman who, at the height of the pandemic, discovers her husband is having an affair.  He leaves her the next day, abruptly ending their 20-year marriage. She thought they were both happy. Making matters even worse, the Ivy league-educated former corporate attorney\u2014who had shelved her career to stay at home with kids\u2014was clueless about the couple's finances. And she had signed a prenup that prevented her from sharing in any of her husband's earnings during the marriage.    So this week I\u2019m re-running an episode of SheSez that features an interview with prominent L.A. divorce attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer. We cover numerous topics: why prenups can be overturned; why mediation can disadvantage women; the \u201cI earned it, why do I have to give her anything?\u201d counter argument; and how we women are wired to be eternal optimists which can sometimes gets us in tricky situations.   ","author_name":"SheSez with Linda Grasso","author_url":"http:\/\/shesez.com","html":"
