Linzi Kavanagh, 47, a divorce coach from Glasgow, talks about her journey to happiness after she parted ways with her ex-husband of 16 years.... "The initial period after my split was utter hell, it was so terrifying and overwhelming.

What's really difficult is that you have to make all of these huge impactful decisions like finances, co-parenting and the divorce settlement while you're in massive emotional turmoil," Linzi tells us.The 47-year-old, who is a mother-of-three, had been a stay-at-home mum during the marriage so she was also facing other problems like debt and realising that she had no savings either.

She says: "I just knew I had to pull my life together for the sake of the children so I went back to university at the same time as my daughter. "At one point I was working full-time and studying for five separate qualifications to give myself an opportunity to better financially support my children.

Although Linzi was getting financial support from her ex-husband and co-parenting with him, she was tied into lots of contracts for certain things that she couldn't afford.
