Episode Description
Kaley sits down with twin cities divorce attorney Kim Tourdot Walker, who's been practicing family law for 28 years and running her own solo practice for 19 of them. This one's been a long time coming. You've been asking for a divorce attorney's take, and Kim delivers. They get into the real first steps if you're even contemplating divorce (hint: it starts with knowing what you actually have), how settlements can look different for stay-at-home moms, spousal maintenance, and the things people almost always overlook when they're splitting a life in two. Kim also talks about who's really initiating divorce these days and why she's seeing more clients in their 70s than ever before. If you've ever felt like there's no roadmap for this, or you're quietly wondering what your first move should be, this one's for you!
Kim Tourdot Walker is a divorce and family law attorney based in the Twin Cities, with 28 years of legal experience, including 19 years leading her own solo practice. As a working mother who raised two children — both now in college — she built her practice around the same flexibility and independence she wanted for her own family. Kim believes that entering the divorce process with a clear understanding of your finances, your rights, and your options is essential to coming out of it okay. A strong advocate for alternative dispute resolution, she helps clients pursue more constructive outcomes through mediation and Collaborative Law whenever possible, resolving family law matters with dignity, respect, and honest, practical guidance every step of the way.
