Don't Use AI for Divorce Until You Watch This | Jamie Lima of SecureSplit

About this episode

Divorce isn't just a legal problem, it's an emotional one too—so what happens when people start bringing that problem to AI before they bring it to anyone else?

In this episode, @Jamie Lima, divorce financial specialist and co-founder of SecureSplit, unpacks why so many people are turning to AI first during divorce, sometimes before they've spoken to a lawyer, therapist, or financial advisor, and what that shift actually means for their outcomes.

Drawing on his own divorce and his work helping clients navigate the financial side of separation, Jamie makes the case that AI can be a genuinely useful tool for organizing thoughts, managing emotional communication, and understanding complex documents. But he's equally clear about where it becomes dangerous.

Tune in for a grounded conversation about prompting AI the right way, why "trust but verify" should be the rule for anything AI tells you about your case, and why no amount of technology replaces having real people in your corner during one of the hardest transitions of your life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why people are turning to AI before they contact any divorce professional;
• How to prompt AI correctly so it gives you useful, accurate information instead of generic answers;
• Where AI can genuinely help with divorce-related emotional and financial complexity; and
• Why relying on AI for legal outcomes or replacing your support system can lead to costly mistakes
