Navigating Insurance and Financial Planning During Divorce with Broc Buckles and Peter Ciravolo

S2 E35 • Aug 27, 2025 • 30 mins

Jamie M. Lima is joined by Broc Buckles and Peter Ciravolo from BC Brokerage to discuss essential insurance considerations during and after divorce. The conversation explores the role of disability insurance in divorce planning, the importance of securing child support and alimony with insurance, and the necessity of reviewing policies post-divorce. Key insights on financial planning and maintaining account access are shared, along with tips for selecting a reliable insurance agent. The episode also covers insurance and estate planning across various income levels, considerations for new business owners, and the impact of social media on financial advice.

Key Points

  • Review all insurance policies post-divorce to ensure beneficiaries, coverages, and ownership details are correctly updated to reflect your new circumstances.
  • Disability insurance is crucial for protecting income, especially since the likelihood of becoming disabled during your working life is higher than that of dying prematurely.
  • Don't rely solely on workplace insurance benefits; consider private policies to ensure adequate coverage, particularly for child support and alimony obligations.
