How A Classic Comedy Sparks Real Talk On Divorce And Money: The First Wives’ Club

Send us a text

A classic comedy, a live panel, and the real decisions that shape life after divorce—this episode brings it all together. We announce a special screening of First Wives Club at the Michigan Theater on January 28, 2026 at 7:00 pm https://marquee-arts.org/event-page/tickets/?showingId=990348 and unpack why a female-centered story still sparks the most practical conversations about money, housing, and agency. Alongside the theater’s community mission, we explore how film can open the door to legal and financial literacy without losing the hope and humor that keep people moving forward. 

We sit down with certified divorce real estate expert Jodi Douglas to get specific about the toughest choice many face: the home. We dig into emotions versus math, the four divorces happening at once, and the first-year realities of single homeownership. Expect grounded tactics—budgeting true carrying costs, using a home warranty to buffer surprise repairs, and writing enforceable safeguards when couples keep a house jointly for a limited time. From payment verification to credit protection and repair protocols, we show how clear rules prevent avoidable damage.
