	Description:		Feeling trapped in limbo while waiting for your property settlement to go through? You’re not alone — and there may be a way out. In this episode, I’m joined again by my mum, Lynette Galvin — a family lawyer with over 35 years of experience — and we’re talking about a powerful but underused legal option called early distribution of funds. This is a game-changer for anyone financially stuck during separation. Whether you’re separated under one roof, struggling to pay rent, or locked out of joint funds, this episode is full of practical ideas to help you understand some options. We’ll walk through how it works, who it can help, how to ask for it, and what to do if you’re facing financial abuse or coercive control. If even one person hears this and realizes they can ask for access to their own money — then this episode has done its job. Legal Disclaimer: This is not legal advice please see a lawyer before making any decisions. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses financial abuse and coercive control.
