Five Minutes with Fried: Melinda Gould on Guiding Clients Through Divorce

Melinda Gould was featured on Five Minutes with Fried to talk about her work as a divorce consultant and the role she plays in helping clients navigate the divorce process with clarity and support.

In this 5-minute conversation, Melinda explains that she is not a lawyer, therapist, or financial advisor, but helps clients understand the process, prepare for key decisions, find the right professional team, and stay grounded from the earliest stages of considering divorce through the final steps and beyond.

Melinda also discusses how she works alongside attorneys and other professionals as part of a client’s support team. She helps people think through their financial situation, custody concerns, communication dynamics, and the personality of their spouse so they can make more informed choices, including choosing the right lawyer for their specific circumstances.

Melinda also shares her work with UNtied, a community for women in the middle of divorce or on the other side of it. Through education, connection, and judgment-free support, UNtied gives women a place to talk openly with others who understand what they are going through.
