  Aug 16, 202643 minS2

  Terrified of losing the family home after separation? Discover the exact post-divorce finance strategies to secure a single mum mortgage today. Navigating post-separation finances can feel like a panic-inducing mountain to climb, especially when you are suddenly relying on a single income. In this episode of Real Talk for Single Mums, Kylie Soltani from Soren Financial dismantles the toxic myth that banks won't lend to single mothers. We break down how lenders actually assess child support, why going directly to your own bank might severely limit your options, and how little-known government schemes like the 2% deposit stream can get you back into the property market. Kylie gives us a step-by-step roadmap to shift from financial defence to proactive recovery, proving that with a clear plan, clarity truly creates confidence.
