Who Keeps the Dog and Other Pet Issues in Divorce with Karis Nafte on Divorce and Beyond #366 Nov 18, 2024

Susan Guthrie welcomes Karis Nafte, Pet Custody Mediator and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, to explore the complexities of pet custody in divorce.

With the legal landscape around pets evolving, the topic of pet custody has become increasingly relevant for divorcing couples. Karis, founder of Who Keeps the Dog?, sheds light on the unique challenges of navigating custody for your furry family members and shares insights from her new book, Who Keeps the Dog: Navigating Pet Custody During Divorce.

In this conversation, Karis explains how divorce can impact your beloved pets and provides practical strategies to ensure their well-being throughout the process.

What You'll Hear:

Why pets are no longer treated as mere property in divorce
How the changing legal landscape impacts pet custody decisions
Key considerations for creating a pet custody agreement
Tips for minimizing stress for your pets during separation

Golden Nuggets:

“ You can't make the decision on the dog's future based on your hurt feelings or your negative emotions. You're not considering your dog. You're not seeing the situation through their eyes. And that's really hard, but you can do it. The most correct decision for the dog is there, if you dig for it.”
“ Your dog will be fine. Dogs are so much more adaptable than we think they are. Don't imagine that your dog will be as upset as you are. I know that's hard to hear. It's harder for us than it is for dogs.”
“ How do we look after our pets during divorce where we're really focusing on what's best for the dog? It's hard to do that when emotions do what they do in divorce.”

Secrets from a Top Realtor: Mastering the Real Estate Side of Divorce with Kathy Clark The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #365 Nov 11, 2024

Selling or buying a home during a divorce? Susan Guthrie brings in expert realtor Kathy Clark to shed light on the real estate journey for divorcing couples. With 13 years of experience in Southern California’s mortgage and real estate industry, Kathy shares essential strategies for navigating property sales, avoiding common pitfalls, and setting yourself up for a successful transition into your next home.

Kathy’s insights will help you avoid unnecessary stress and find the right realtor to guide you through mastering the real estate side of the divorce process.

Featured Topics:

The unique challenges of selling a home during a divorce, including differing goals with your soon-to-be-ex and when to consider selling
How to find a realtor who genuinely understands divorce and real estate—questions to ask before signing on with anyone
The ins and outs of realtor commissions and what to expect in today’s market
Common mistakes divorcing individuals make when buying a new home—and how to avoid them
Disclosure dilemmas: What to share (or not) with realtors and buyers about your divorce

Golden nuggets:

“Everything has a value and everything has a cost. I encourage people to go into it open-minded and make sure their agent knows what they need.”
“We have a fiduciary responsibility not to share what you don't want to be shared. You tell us ‘It's fine. Go ahead. It's amicable.’ There's got to be an expectation of how you're going to do things. I don't think it serves you well to disclose to everyone that there is a divorce. But I also don't think that you can hide it.”
“Every house is not the same. Finding the right realtor who has the expertise in your particular home is something worth spending a little bit of time on.”

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:
SOBERLINK
As a family law attorney, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate co-parenting when alcohol is involved, especially around the holidays.

Soberlink is a breathalyzer that ensures your co-parent is staying sober while they have the kids, which is especially important during this time of year, when alcohol can be present at so many gatherings.

Here’s how it works: Your co-parent will test at scheduled times throughout the day. The portable device uses facial recognition to confirm it’s really them taking the test, and tamper sensors ensure the results are accurate. Those results are sent directly to your phone or email in real-time, so you’ll always know that your kids are with a sober parent.

Soberlink is trusted by family law professionals for a reason. It’s the top alcohol monitoring system, and its court-admissible data can make all the difference in custody situations.

If you’re looking for more certainty and safety this holiday season, visit www.soberlink.com/susan to learn more and get $50 off your device.

Making Divorce a Disaster? The Misguided Fight to Repeal No-Fault Divorce with Professor Marcia Zug on Divorce & Beyond #364 Nov 04, 2024

Susan Guthrie welcomes special guest Marcia Zug, a family law expert and law professor, to discuss the move to repeal no-fault divorce laws. As reform proposals emerge across several states, this conversation explores what a shift back to fault-based divorce could mean for individuals, families, and the legal system.

Marcia offers insights into the history of no-fault divorce, the forces behind this legislative push, and the potential impacts on personal freedom, safety, and family dynamics. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the fight to preserve no-fault divorce and the disastrous implications for your rights and future.

Featured Topics:

Understanding the difference between fault divorce and no-fault divorce and what each requires
The origins of no-fault divorce laws and how California became the first state to pass them in 1969
The impact of repealing no-fault divorce, including its wider social and political implications
The future of no-fault divorce, the momentum behind repeal efforts, and whether there are movements to protect or expand these laws

Golden nuggets:

“If we want more people to get married, I think they need to understand both what marriage does for them and how it might be beneficial, but also not scare them by locking them into a marriage that they could never get out of.”
“By forcing people to rehash all of the horrible things that have gone on in the marriage, it brings a lot of animosity to the divorce and makes negotiation and compromises much, much harder.”
“ Even though cruelty was grounds for divorce, it wasn't protecting victims of violence in marriages. No-fault was seen as a solution to that. States reluctantly accepted it, not because they liked divorce, but because they recognized that it was needed because divorce to fault grounds was deadly, particularly to women.”

About this week's special guest: Marcia Zug
Marcia Zug is a Family Law professor at the Jospeh F. Rice School of law at the University of South Carolina. Her latest book, You'll Do: A History of Marrying for Reasons Other than Love explores the instrumental use of marriage and the role of marriage in modern society.

This episode dives into where financial fears come from, and how to overcome them and shares cautionary tales with powerful takeaways.

Finding Yourself on the Road: How Solo Travel Can Help You Rebuild After Divorce with Megan Grant of Cherish Tours on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #361 Oct 14, 2024

Susan Guthrie sits down with Megan Grant, the Founder & Chief Memory Creator of Cherish Tours, to explore the transformative power of travel, especially for those navigating the journey of divorce. Join us as we unpack the many ways solo travel can be a tool for healing and growth.

Megan shares her insights on how travel can positively impact mental health and offers practical tips for those looking to travel solo after a divorce. We’ll discuss how to prioritize travel amidst daily responsibilities, manage stressful travel triggers, and reframe the meaning of solo adventures. Plus, we’ll dive into overcoming decision fatigue to help you plan your next impactful journey.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just spark your next adventure!

Featured Topics:

Travel as a tool for healing: Does it really work?
Managing stressful travel triggers

Overcoming decision fatigue to create your travel plans

Golden nuggets:

“ You don't have to travel full time or live unconventionally to create a healing experience with travel.”
“ Yes, travel can sometimes be stressful, especially when something doesn't go to plan, but really when you're ripped out of your comfort zone is when you learn the most about yourself and it's a really great way to do a reset.”
“ Solo travel, where it's the most meaningful, is in creating the space for yourself. It's taking and prioritizing the self-care aspects of travel and the healing parts of travel that you can find when you step outside of that comfort zone.”

From the Archive: The Biggest Mistakes People Make When Divorcing a Narcissist with Tracy Malone on Divorce & Beyond Aug 05, 2024

Host Susan Guthrie welcomes back Tracy Malone to discuss some of the mistakes people make when divorcing a narcissist!

Returning guest Tracy Malone is the author of Divorcing Your Narcissist: You Can't Make This Shit Up! Divorcing a narcissist is a hot topic these days, and Tracy’s book is the most comprehensive compilation of tips, insights, case studies, and personal experiences about what it is like to divorce a narcissist.

In this episode, Tracy and Susan explore some of the most common and biggest mistakes made when divorcing a narcissist and share practical advice for avoiding them.

Conversation Golden Nuggets:

The adversarial mindset, “How to BEAT a narcissist” is so harmful. Tracy shares her thoughts on the topic. Instead of “how to fight,” think “how to cope or prepare.”
“Don’t call them a narcissist! It’s going to poke the bear, enrage them more, and set the whole divorce on a different trajectory.”
Check your expectations when it comes to justice in family court and pick your battles!
Make the parenting plan as inclusive as possible and consider the growth of your children.
If you are aware, you can prepare. Plus, why it is important to have a team or support system during your divorce.

Listen to this episode to learn as much as you can about divorcing a narcissist and then move forward with awareness!

The Perils of Playing House with Leading Attorney, Susan Myres on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #353 Jul 15, 2024

Susan Guthrie welcomes leading matrimonial attorney Susan Myres to the show, where she shares the potential pitfalls and legal issues you may face when cohabiting before or instead of getting married.
Together they explore the legal challenges couples face when living together, including property rights, financial agreements, and child custody issues. You’ll hear why education, planning, and potential cohabitation agreements are important and can mitigate the 'perils of playing house.'

Featured topics and Golden Nuggets:

The legal implications of “playing house”
Financial and property considerations: “When romance is involved, we forget to take care of business.”
Without divorce proceedings, you don’t have immediate rights to child support (you will have to go to court) and if you are a father, you may have a harder time fighting for parental access rights
“You can fix most of these perils if you plan ahead.”

From the Archive: Understanding Post-Separation Abuse with Dr. Christine Cocchiola on Divorce & Beyond Jul 11, 2024

Diving back into the archive for a replay of Part Two of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.

In part two of this special two-part episode on Domestic Abuse, we delve deeper into a form of intimate partner violence (IPV) that's gaining attention in the media through high-profile cases like those of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Post-Separation Abuse. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor and advocate, returns to further our understanding of this often covert and insidious form of abuse. While physical abuse is more overt and recognizable, Post-Separation Abuse encompasses tactics of coercive control and emotional manipulation that can continue to affect victims long after a relationship has ended. In part one, Dr. Cocchiola explored coercive control extensively. Now, she educates us on the varied manifestations of Post-Separation Abuse and highlights its dangers, emphasizing the need for awareness and support for those trapped in this destructive cycle.

From the Archive: Understanding Coercive Control with Dr. Christine Cocchiola on Divorce & Beyond Jul 08, 2024

Diving back into the archive for a replay of our special two-part episode with Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a leading expert in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that delves into some of the most insidious forms of abuse: coercive control and post-separation abuse.

Abuse between intimate partners comes in many forms. All are destructive, but some are so insidious and pervasive that they are incredibly common, yet vastly unknown by the public and often, in fact, by the victims themselves. With physical violence and abuse, it is very easy to identify that behavior is abusive, but when it comes to coercive control and emotional abuse, it is much harder to identify. Dr. Christine Cocchiola, a survivor herself, is dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating for others suffering in this horrible cycle of abuse. In this episode, you will learn the signs to look for when coercive control is an issue, strategies to extricate yourself and what we as a society need to do to protect victims and stop abusers.

Return on Thursday for Part Two where Dr. Cocchiola discusses the increasing awareness of another form of IPV, Post-Separation Abuse, which is increasingly in the headlines with the ongoing high profile cases of Kim Kardashion and Kanye West and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

Divorce is hard under the best of circumstances, but for most people, it will come to an end and their lives will smooth out and they will go forward with their lives and even co-parent peacefully for the most part, but then there are the high conflict cases.

How do you survive that High-Conflict Co-Parenting paradigm and more importantly, how do you help your kids through it all?

Megan Hunter, the CEO of The High Conflict Institute with Co-Founder, Bill Eddy, is here to help with her book: The High-Conflict Co-Parenting Survival Guide! Megan shares invaluable advice and practical strategies on ways to manage your anger, stress, fear and worry as you continue to have to maintain a co-parenting relationship with a narcissist or other high conflict person.

About this week's special guest: Amy Polacko

Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior - and is committed to helping women live life on their own terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to provide support, inspiration, and guidance to single women. Amy is also an award-winning journalist who sheds light on women's issues including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.

Her recent journalistic work has appeared in The Washington Post, Newsweek, NBC News THINK, and Ms. Magazine. After graduating from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Amy worked as a newspaper reporter for Newsday and was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team covering the TWA Flight 800 crash. She then transitioned to television journalism, working as a writer and producer in New York City.

Sniper story. She also headed up an investigative reporting unit in Albany, NY, where she uncovered consumer scams, crime, and government corruption as part of her I-Team Investigations -- one of which exposed a loophole in the state's sex offender registry.

Can You Please Talk to My Trauma? Insights on Healing from Karlee Holden on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #336 Mar 04, 2024

Karlee Holden joins Susan Guthrie for a deeply personal and insightful discussion of uncovering, exploring, and healing the trauma bonds that shape us. Karlee is a Trauma Practitioner, helping people with their trauma and mental and physical health for twenty years.

Karlee explains that healing from trauma is not just talking about your problems; it's unwinding the fight-flight response from the nervous system and the body by developing boundaries. In this episode, Susan and Karlee discuss the importance of establishing boundaries, understanding unhealthy relationships and family patterns, and ultimately unwinding what has been holding us back from being our truest selves.

You’ll hear:

Why ignoring trauma only perpetuates its effects and leads to more stress.
Setting healthy boundaries is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. “Healthy boundaries are essential for our mental and emotional well-being."
How to cultivate awareness of your emotions and triggers, and practice self-regulation to manage stress and anxiety.
"Focus on what you can control. You can't control the external circumstances, but you can control your responses, behaviors, and self-care practices."
Seek support. You can seek support from therapists, counselors, or support groups when dealing with trauma and emotional challenges.

About this week's special guest: Christina McGhee

Christina McGhee, MSW is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change.

Throughout her career, she has educated both parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents useful strategies for dealing with the “real-life” everyday challenges of coparenting.

One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn’t make you a bad parent, it makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina also maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.

Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.

Additionally, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer. Currently, she serves as a consulting producer and subject matter expert for the documentaries SPLIT: A film for kids and their parents and Split UP: The Teen Years, two compelling films that let kids know they’re not alone and normalize the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part.

Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.

Married for over twenty-seven years, Christina and her husband live outside of Houston, Texas.

In this episode, Christina shares her wisdom on how co-parents can create a holiday season that's less stressful and more joyful for their children.

This topic is especially relevant during the holiday season. As the festive lights twinkle and the world seems to sparkle with the holiday spirit, we know this season can also bring a mix of emotions and stress for co-parents.

Whether it's your first holiday after a separation or you've been navigating this season for years, Christina's practical and actionable advice is a gift that keeps on giving. She covers everything from how to communicate with your co-parent about the holidays to managing gifts and family expectations and ensuring your children feel the joy of the season.

About this week's special guest: Christina McGhee

Christina McGhee, MSW is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author. While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support, parents have the ability to be a child's absolute best resource when families change.

Throughout her career, she has educated both parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents useful strategies for dealing with the “real-life” everyday challenges of coparenting.

One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn’t make you a bad parent, it makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina also maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.

Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.

Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.

Married for over twenty-seven years, Christina and her husband live outside of Houston, Texas.

Busting the Top 5 Myths of Domestic Abuse with Amy Polacko on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #317 Oct 23, 2023

Amy Polacko, Divorce and Empowerment Coach and Investigative Journalist returns to The Divorce & Beyond podcast with Susan Guthrie. Amy is here to help bust the top five myths of domestic abuse. The myths being busted are prominent and often repeated time and again. We must raise awareness so we don’t perpetuate these myths and continue to cause incredible harm.

Amy Polacko is committed to helping women live on their terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to support, inspire, and guide single women. She is also an award-winning journalist highlighting women's issues, including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.

Myth Busting and Golden Nuggets includ

Myth #1: “The Hysterical Woman.” Labeling women as "hysterical" diminishes their experiences and allows the cycle of abuse to continue.
Myth #2: “Why didn’t she just leave?” One reason:You need to have a safe exit plan, which takes time and planning.
Myth #3: If there isn’t physical violence, it’s not really abuse. The more we tell stories of domestic abuse, the more aware we can become.
Myth #4: “It only happens in poor families.” Domestic abuse doesn't discriminate and affects people across all socioeconomic backgrounds.
Myth #5: “What happens in someone’s home is a private matter.” Domestic abuse isn't a private issue; it has societal repercussions.
What you can do to help break the cycle of abuse and raise awareness.

The Subtle Signs of Financial Abuse with Donna LaScala, CDFA, on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #315 Oct 09, 2023

This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes Divorce Professional Donna LaScala to Divorce & Beyond! Donna shares real-life stories of financial abuse and trickery to help you break free from the cycle.
You've probably heard the saying, "Knowledge is power." Well, let's talk about another reality: money equals control. In divorce, it's not uncommon to witness one partner using money to control another. With her impressive 30 years of experience in the financial services field, Donna LaScala shares some valuable insights in this episode. She'll guide you on handling your finances during a divorce, spotting signs of financial abuse, and finding a path forward if you are in this difficult situation.

Donna E. LaScala, CDFA, RFC, CLTC, is the President of Comprehensive Divorce Solutions LLC. and has been in the financial services profession for over 30 years. Holding professional designations of RFC (Registered Financial Consultant) with IARFC Ethics Approved Status, CDFA (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst), and CLTC (Certified in Long-Term Care), Donna is dedicated to providing a personalized approach to meet each client’s needs and individual goals.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Financial abuse isn’t always overt, and it can take many different forms
There may be reasonable explanations for some financial decisions - but if anything raises a red flag - look into it. Don’t ignore it.
It’s not always about the actual money but a way to manipulate and control
To move forward and get to the post-divorce life, you need a financial professional by your side

We are starting a new school year, and challenges for parents, co-parents, and kids come with it.

In this episode, Christina McGhee shares ways to support your kids and encourage openness and connection during back-to-school.

Co-parenting and how to approach the beginning of the new school year
How you can use the start of the school year as a connection point
It may be helpful to give teachers or schools a heads-up about navigating co-parenting transitions, etc. Equally important is to talk to your kids about the changes ahead of time and how that might impact their school experience

Most recently, Christina launched an online program, Coparenting with Purpose. Designed to provide moms and dads with an easy, convenient way to access critical information, it’s filled with practical tools and solutions for managing the most common coparenting problems.

Additionally, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer.

Expensive Mistakes Made in Complex Property Division Cases with Divorce Financial Professional Nicole Romito on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #308 Aug 21, 2023

Susan Guthrie welcomes Top Financial Professional Nicole Romito as she shares some of the big issues to look for in a complex property divorce case. This episode can save you big bucks!

We’ve discussed many financial issues that arise during divorce - including whether or not to keep the house, how to find hidden assets and more. In this episode, Nicole Romito will help us dive into the more difficult issues about asset division in divorce. There is no do-over when it comes to the division of assets. You are making life-altering decisions that will impact you for the rest of your life. Knowledge is power when it comes to these complex financial issues, and even more powerful is having a financial professional who knows what they’re doing.

Nicole Romito, CFP, CDFA, is a Partner and Lead Advisor with Private Vista. While she has clients who are in all different cycles of life, she gets an extra boost collaborating with women who are going through a transition and are making life-altering financial decisions. This could be due to divorce, becoming a widow, selling their business, or being able to retire from their corporate executive career.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Why it is so important to have a financial planner on your divorce team
The most common complex investment pitfalls
“It’s a lot easier to come to agreements when it’s a win-win agreement.”
Retirement, pensions, 401ks, and IRAs asset division
What you should be aware of about executive compensation

****************************************

About this week's special guest: Nicole Romito

Nicole Romito, CFP, CDFA, is a Partner and Lead Advisor with Private Vista. While she has clients who are in all different cycles of life, she gets an extra boost collaborating with women who are going through a transition and are making life-altering financial decisions. This could be due to divorce, becoming a widow, selling their business, or being able to retire from their corporate executive career.

What excites Nicole about what she gets to do each day? Helping women make smart and thoughtful decisions as they navigate an emotionally stressful time. Clients see her as a teacher, advocate, and partner. Having gone through a divorce herself and leaving a 10-year career with a bank to start my own financial planning practice, Nicole understands the stress of being 100% responsible for your financial security. That is why she invests extra time with her clients and their other professionals such as their attorney and CPA to create a plan which takes them from a place of fear and uncertainty to one of clarity and confidence.

Whether it is a proposed divorce settlement, settling an estate or navigating deferred compensation plans and exercising employer stock plans on your way to retirement; her clients are relieved, that together, we create a forward-looking financial plan so they can see what the future may mean for them and their family. Since I walked by their side and never judged, during a very emotional time during which is it common to become flooded and unable to make decisions, they look to me as their ongoing partner to successfully manage their wealth.

Dear Parents: What Your Kids Want You to Know About Divorce with Grace Casper on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #306 Aug 07, 2023

This week, Susan Guthrie welcomes podcaster and child of divorce Grace Casper to the Divorce & Beyond podcast. Grace shares insights on what your kids wish you knew about how your divorce impacts them.

The scariest part of divorce for parents is how it may negatively impact their kids. In this episode, Grace Casper joins Susan to offer her unique perspective (as a child of divorce) about what kids need, want, think, and feel about divorce and how it affects them. During this conversation and in Grace’s new book, Dear Parents: Notes From a Child of Divorce, Grace shares how you can help your kids through a divorce and have open and ongoing conversations with them.

Grace Casper’s world changed forever when her parents told her that they were getting a divorce. In the wake of this, Grace started writings tips for her younger brother based on what she was learning from her parents’ divorce, trying to help him as they went from house to house. Fourteen years later, Grace began the first draft of the book that would be borne from these tips, writing in the hopes of being able to provide parents with a look into the effects of divorce on their children with first-hand experience. She also runs a page called Divorce Tips From Kids and a podcast called "Divorce: What I Wish My Parents Knew." This podcast allows other children of divorce to share their stories.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Creating a catalyst for conversations with children about divorce - conversations about divorce are not a one-and-done conversation
How to empower your kids (and keep them at the center) - a good place to start is to trial co-parenting schedules and ask them for input
Golden Nugget! Grace’s “suggestion box” approach to parenting during divorce
Teaching your kids to find the good
Find a safe person to share your thoughts and feelings with about divorce that is NOT your children
It is a gift to your child and yourself to be able to be the safe parent

How to Make Good Divorce Decisions with Karen Covy on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #306 Jul 31, 2023

Today on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by guest Karen Covy as she shares what you need to know and do to make good decisions. This is especially important during divorce, so listen in!

Divorce is a time when you are going to make important life decisions in a short period. If you don’t know how or don’t do it well, you will kick yourself in the aftermath. When discussing divorce, we don’t typically talk about making sound, reasoned decisions and, more specifically, how to make them. In this episode, Karen takes us through a scientific approach to decision-making. She helps you become the CEO of divorce and learn how to make those big decisions and do it well. You never want to look back and think, I wish I had thought that through more clearly - so be sure to listen and learn!

Karen Covy is a Divorce and Decision Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Speaker, and Author. She coaches busy professionals and business owners who want to make clear, confident decisions during highly-charged emotional situations. Karen also helps her clients become the CEOs of their divorce so that they can navigate their divorce with less conflict, less expense, and less damage to themselves and their children.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

What the science of decision-making tells us about deciding to divorce - Hint: it’s all emotional.
How to make a big, emotional decision when there’s a lot at stake, and you don’t want to screw up
“A big part of the decision-making process is figuring out what you want and then believing you have the ability to create that thing.”
Where to start when deciding whether you should stay or go
Why it’s important to reality-test your options
“If you don’t take action on a decision, it’s not really a decision.”

Busting Divorce Myths Mini-Episode #5: In Divorce There’s Always a Bad Guy on Divorce & Beyond Jul 07, 2023

This week on Divorce and Beyond, as we celebrate America's Independence, Susan has created a week-long series of mini-episodes where she will be busting the Top 5 Divorce Myths for you so that you can celebrate your freedom from their misleading and harmful assumptions!

Myth #5: If a Divorce Is Happening, Then Someone Did Something Wrong

Debunking the Blame Game in Divorce – Myth Busting Series Finale with Susan

Does divorce always imply guilt? Must there always be a 'bad guy' for a relationship to end? In the grand finale of our special Divorce Myth Busting series, our host Susan invites you to rethink the narrative around this life-altering decision.

In this episode, Susan disentangles the misconceptions that surround the reasons for divorce, setting the record straight on 'fault' versus 'no-fault' grounds and explaining why 'irreconcilable differences' is more than just a legal catchphrase.

Divorce can be a difficult topic to navigate, and it's not always about finding fault. Join Susan as she navigates through the complex terrain of divorce laws and uncovers the truth that lays hidden behind societal assumptions. This episode is not just about busting myths; it's about understanding that endings can sometimes be new beginnings.

Unravel the truth and rethink divorce with Susan. Because not all endings are failures, and every story has more than one side.

Catch the finale episode of our Divorce Myth Busting series – for a perspective shift you won't want to miss!

Busting Divorce Myths Mini-Episode #1: Divorce Means WAR on Divorce & Beyond Jul 03, 2023

This week on Divorce and Beyond, as we celebrate America's Independence, Susan has created a week-long series of mini-episodes where she will be busting the Top 5 Divorce Myths for you so that you can celebrate your freedom from their misleading and harmful assumptions!

Myth #1: Divorce means WAR! One of the most pervasive myths about divorce is that it means a long, acrimonious and horrible process where the spouses, and their children, are constantly caught in a cycle of conflict. In fact, it is this myth that often prompts people at the beginning of their divorce to hire the meanest attorney they can find and to do things like hide money and service papers immediately. But is this true? Does divorce mean war?

What are the Best Interests of the Children with Professor Stephanie Tang on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #302 Jul 02, 2023

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Professor Stephanie Tang joins Susan Guthrie Esq. to explain what “in the best interests of the children” really means and why it’s not as simple as you think!

One of the topics listeners have been reaching out about the most lately is “the best interests of the children” standard in family court. Professor Tang joins Susan to share the various factors that go into determining children's best interests and describes the impact of a judge’s discretion. What seems like such a simple topic is truly the most complicated in family court custody hearings.

Stephanie L. Tang is an Assistant Professor of Law at Baylor Law School, teaching Family Law. Before joining Baylor, Professor Tang was a Partner at a family law firm in Chicago, where she specialized in all areas of family law.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Where the “best interests of the child” standard originated
Family court considerations of factors related to custody hearings
What judges look at when it comes to a child’s professed wishes
Stephanie answers, “Can a parent request a change to custodial orders over time if they don’t agree with the best interests of children determination?”
Does the bearing of what a parent wants come into play?

In this episode, Theresa Beran Kulat explains how she takes her mediation skills and brings them to space to help people re-create and re-form (instead of end) their relationships. The work she does is truly transformational. If you are entering into a relationship, one that needs some work, or even if it's ending - there will be something in this episode that will be extremely valuable for you.

Theresa Beran Kulat stands for healthy relationships. For over 20 years, she has been helping families heal by working as a divorce mediator and collaborative lawyer. Along the way, she began holding space for couples who didn’t want their marriage to end – but who wanted to create a new marriage. Now, this offering - called “Intentional Relationship Design” - has been expanded and is now available to couples who may not yet be married but want to be conscious of creating their partnership.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

The difference between a litigated divorce and a client-centered divorce
How Theresa’s divorce informed the work she does today
Using intentional relationship design to recreate relationships in a supportive and facilitated environment
“You will have a breakdown in your relationship, the key is how do you negotiate it or navigate it?”
Theresa explains cuddle party rules and how she applies them to work with her clients!

Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes Beverly Price to share her journey from feeling shame after multiple divorces to finding empowerment and happiness. Tune into this week’s inspiring episode of Divorce & Beyond.
Divorce is never a light-hearted journey; with it comes a flurry of emotions, including the cycle of shame. In this episode, Beverly Price joins Susan for an open-hearted discussion about her multiple divorces and what she learned along the way. For Beverly, the path has been very diverse and difficult. But as you will hear, her experiences are breathtaking, especially as she chooses to live in the space of empowering women going through a divorce.

Some ideas about why others might be judgmental about your divorce and how to cope

She helps them to prepare for and walk through their emotional and logistical challenges with more knowledge, support, and more self-esteem and with less pain that she did with her divorce.

What a No-Fault Divorce Really Means and Why It’s a Good Thing with Rosemarie Ferrante on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #300 May 15, 2023

This week on Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes Rosemarie Ferrante to discuss what a “no-fault divorce” means and why it’s a good thing!

No fault divorce exists for a reason and benefits society in many ways. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have no-fault laws. However, some conservative states, such as Texas, are pushing to repeal them.

Rosemarie Ferrante joins Susan Guthrie, Esq. for an important conversation about no-fault grounds for divorce, what it means, and what the impact would be if it were removed from the law books.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

The benefits of no-fault divorce include the ability to de-escalate conflict.
The difference between no-fault grounds for divorce and fault
Fault does NOT impact the division of assets, nor does it affect custodial rights
If no-fault divorce is revoked, it will have dire impacts
Why Texas legislation that seeks to abolish no-fault divorce is alarming
How to advocate for keeping no-fault divorce in legislation

With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.

Did you know mortgages can be one of the most important factors in your divorce? Knowing what to expect will help you move through your divorce (and beyond) with clarity and understanding. In addition, if you have the right mortgage broker, you can make agreements that benefit everybody.

When it comes to mortgage loans, if you are receiving custodial or alimony support payments, you must prove that you have been receiving them for six months, NOT that you are supposed to be receiving it
Do not wait until the middle of the divorce process or later to meet with a mortgage lender because you can give yourself more options as you negotiate your divorce if you understand what your borrowing power is
“Information is your superpower.”

About this week's special guest: Zach Taylor

Zachary Taylor is a mortgage lender with 30 years of experience. Over 25% of his business involves people in some phase of the divorce process.

Zach knows the divorce guidelines and can access programs from his company (Change Home Mortgage) and programs from dozens of other banks, lenders, and Wall Street investment firms. This allows him to achieve his main goals for his clients: Get them the best rate, and one that fits their situation, that can be approved, and that can be closed within the required time-frames.

The division of real estate property in a divorce can be challenging to navigate. Contacting Zach as early in the process as possible helps people to have a more seamless experience. He will determine if you can do a buyout or will have to sell.  He will also determine if you can buy a new property based on your “post-divorce” situation using the buyout or sale proceeds. This can save time and prevent unexpected difficulties  during the settlement process.

Zach has  experience helping people who are going through divorce to better understand and determine the issues involving property and mortgages. Zach shares a common mission with the other professionals in the Carlsbad Hub: to provide information and support so that people can feel confident and have peace of mind with the decisions they make in the divorce process. Zach wants to be a valued resource, whether or not a new mortgage is needed, and can also help address issues about credit as well.

Included in Zach’s 30 years of lending experience is a 98% close ratio from 2008 to the present, which happens to be the tightest lending environment ever! He has closed over 2,000 transactions. His background includes underwriting and approving loans. For 16 years, he was Managing Broker, and Partner is a successful local mortgage company. He is a licensed California Real Estate Broker and passed the Federal and State Mortgage tests with all background checks required for the NMLS license. He is a graduate of U.C. San Diego with a B.A. in Economics.

Changing Outcomes for Alienated and Estranged Parents with Coach and Filmmaker, Ginger Gentile on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #290 Mar 06, 2023

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes back Ginger Gentile as she shares her tried and true tips for alienated and estranged parents.

Parental alienation is a silent epidemic affecting families all over the United States (and beyond). Whatever term you choose to use to describe it - parental alienation, estrangement, or parental interference - emotions of alienated and estranged parents are fraught with fear. Often, the experience can be isolating. Parents feel as though there is no recovery, no coming back from this, or they simply don’t know what to do.
In this episode, Ginger Gentile joins Susan to help parents work to reunite with their children after divorce or separation. Together they discuss specific ways to manage emotions and behaviors that will eventually create lasting change and work to heal alienated parents’ relationships with their children.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include

Communication is at the core of how you start reversing parental alienation.
The importance of emotionally detaching and establishing a brief, informative, friendly, but firm communication with the co-parent
Why earlier intervention can lead to better outcomes
Focus on your behavior changes and yourself instead of your children's or ex's behavior
“Changes must come from within. It takes time and work.”

****************************************

About this week's special guest: Ginger Gentile

Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the US alone.

In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019, she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting

Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course, and book.

Dr. Shefali is a clinical psychologist and NY Times best-selling author of three books, including Conscious Parenting and The Awakened Family. She joins Susan to discuss her latest book, The Parenting Map, and the importance of integrating all aspects of ourselves into our parenting.

Why parents must take responsibility for their growth and transformation to become conscious parents. The focus of parenting needs to be on the PARENT.

The importance of integrating our shadow elements and not shaming our children for theirs
The impact of screens and social media on children's development includes a lack of ability to tolerate frustration, decreased attention span, and disconnection from reality and their own feelings.

This week on the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Rebecca Feinglos as she shares her story of overcoming grief following her divorce and the iconic moment when Adele crashed her Las Vegas Divorce Party. You won’t want to miss this episode!

Grief is a messy and complicated emotion. And while that is the focal point of this episode, it will be one of the happiest episodes you will hear! After the death of her father in 2020 and her marriage ending, Rebecca Feinglos found herself overwhelmed by grief. So, in 2021, she founded Grieve Leave to document and share her journey and help others navigate their grief with humor and compassion.

In this episode, Susan and Rebecca discuss the importance of acknowledging grief and how to navigate it with self-compassion. When we see that grieving doesn’t only have to be about crying - we can move forward, find joy, and even celebrate it too.

Rebecca Feinglos blogs her personal experiences and shares tangible resources and actionable tips for dealing with relationship grief and divorce (with a healthy dose of humor baked in). Most recently, Rebecca went viral for throwing a “divorce party” in Vegas and bringing Adele to tears on stage.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Susan and Rebecca explore the common misconception that grief comes only with death - we grieve all kinds of losses in our lives
How to intentionally grieve after a divorce, and why is it essential to do so
Why we need to stop using the phrase “failed marriage” when we talk about divorce
There will never be a divorce party quite like Rebecca’s divorce party!
How Rebecca is bringing others together through the Grieve Leave community

When Valentine’s Day Sucks and How to Survive it with Intuitive Healer, Holly Hughes on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #287 Feb 13, 2023

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Intuitive Healer Holly Hughes! Listen in to hear the antidote to the Valentine’s Day blues and how to manage the unrealistic expectations of the Hallmark Holiday!

Valentine’s Day can be hard when you are going through a divorce. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Holly Hughes discuss tactical ways and tips to honor your feelings and not fall victim to the commercialism or beliefs of what the holiday should or needs to be about.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Why Holly and Susan are NOT wearing red for this Valentine’s Day-focused episode
Create your very own love note jar for YOURSELF
Love is lost in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, instead of love from a partner focus on things you love (your children, art, music, etc.)
Allow yourself to feel your feelings, wallow in them in fact. Then pull yourself out of that space and you’ll feel a sense of relief
“In order to feel and receive love, you have to have it for yourself first.”
Why it is so important to listen to your inner voice and start recognizing what love actually feels like for you
Joy is love. Bring some joy into your life today

Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind.

Pull back the curtain on the mysteries of parenting time and trust The Experts in Remote Alcohol Monitoring Technology™ to keep you informed and your kids safe and secure. To download the addiction and children resource page that I developed with Soberlink, visit www.Soberlink.com/Susan

Behind the Breakup Anthems: Chatting about Shakira and Miley with Michelle Dempsey-Multack on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #286 Feb 06, 2023

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Michelle Dempsey-Multack to discuss their thoughts on empowerment versus bashing and the impact of a victim mentality.

We know Michelle from her other Guest Appearances on Divorce and Beyond and especially because she is the creator and Host of the Moms Moving On Podcast, the best-selling author of Mom’s Moving On, AND now the creator of the Moms Moving On Method Coaching Training Program.

Michelle joins Susan for a conversation about two of today’s most notable music artists who recently released what may be referred to as “breakup songs.” In January, Shakira released “BZRP Music Sessions #53” and Miley Cyrus released “Flowers”. Together, Susan and Michelle explore how the songs and situations may be similar in some ways but different in others and the lessons and insights that we all can learn to apply to our own lives and situations!

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Inside Shakira’s sweet revenge against ex Gerard Pique - do two wrongs make a right?
Miley’s “Flowers” - is there power in the ability to reclaim your own narrative?
Exploring the difference between what you put out there in the world as a co-parent versus being a childless couple
“Everyone sings about heartbreak, but it hits differently when kids are involved.”

In part one of this two-part series, Susan and Josh discussed the issues families face when they're going through divorce or separation, and have children with disabilities. In this episode, they’ll explore solutions to these issues and work to empower parents as they go through the divorce process.

Josh Kershenbaum, Esq., is a dedicated Peacemaker. He earned certifications in Negotiation and Mediation at the Harvard Program on Negotiation and trained in Divorce & Family Mediation at the Mosten Guthrie Academy with Forrest (“Woody”) Mosten and Susan Guthrie.

Avoiding the Divorce Hangover From the Start with Kelly Myers on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #277 Dec 19, 2022

This week on the Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., is joined by Certified Divorce and Mediation Coach, Kelly Myers. Together they discuss how you can start your divorce on the right foot and avoid a divorce hangover!

Kelly Myers’ goal is for individuals to not have any regrets after the divorce is over. She refers to it as the divorce hangover – the if only’s, wouldas, couldas, and shouldas of divorce. In this episode, Kelly shares some of the things she wished she had known or done differently during her divorce.

One of the lessons Kelly learned and shares today: You may not get everything you want from your divorce, but with the right tools, mindset, and professionals, you will know exactly why you made every decision you made, you’ll understand the pros and cons of each choice, and you can move forward with confidence in your vision.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Why it is important to look at your divorce as the opportunity to build the foundation for your future.
You must become your own advocate. You can’t rely on other professionals to do that because they are not an expert in your life. You are.
Create a vision of what you want your post-divorce life to be
Once you have your vision, use it as a tool for creating your support team and convey not only what you need, but why you believe you need it
“How can you use the law as a tool to get what you and your family need, including the ability to move forward and thrive? That’s the goal here.”
The power of organizing your thoughts and fears in a divorce notebook

If divorce is in your future, listen to this episode to gain clarity and build a strong foundation for your beyond!

Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes fellow podcast host, Wendy Sloane to the show. Wendy shares the insights she has learned from her divorce and explains why even a bad divorce can be a good thing!

In this episode, podcast host and former television producer Wendy Sloane joins Susan Guthrie to share her personal divorce story. She discusses the good and the bad of divorce and how she is living her best life, today. Yes, divorce is fraught with difficulty and overwhelm. but it doesn’t have to suck. You can still have your happily ever after divorce.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Give yourself the grace of space: take your time during the divorce process, you don’t need to hire the first attorney you speak to nor do you need to hire an attorney immediately
The decisions you make about who is going to support you in your divorce and the process you choose (mediation, litigation, etc) informs how your divorce and life after are going to unfold
Technology can be helpful, especially if there is a conflict between co-parents
What we mean when we say, “Divorce is hard when you are in it, so keep your kids out of it.”

If you are going through the hard parts of divorce right now, we hope this episode makes things a bit easier!

Conscious Coupling: Are Pre-Nups the Secret to a Happy Marriage? with Leading Attorney, Monica Mazzei on Divorce & Beyond #275 Dec 05, 2022

Today on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, host Susan Guthrie, Esq. welcomes leading attorney Monica Mazzei! Together they explore how pre-nuptial agreements can help partners prepare for their marriage and beyond.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie and her guest, Monica Mazzei focus not on divorce, but instead on marriage and partnerships. They encourage you to think about how a pre-martial agreement can be a collaboration and bring you together, rather than used as a plan for what happens if you part.

Monica Mazzei is a Certified Family Law Specialist representing clients in the Bay Area, with a concentration in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, as well as Los Angeles. She represents high-net-worth clients throughout the litigation process and in mediation.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

Conscious coupling is very different from conscious uncoupling
Why the stigma around having a pre-marital agreement is waning
Monica shares insights on the ideal time to start the conversation about a prenup
What happens during pre-marital agreement planning
“Nobody wants to talk about money, divorce, or death. But these are the things you need to talk about.”
Prenups should be a collaborative and transparent process, and agreements should be balanced and fair
In the event of a divorce, prenups lead to less cost, less time, and less stress because you already worked through these issues
“This is your opportunity to ask for what you want while you still like each other. Try doing this ten years from now when you can’t stand each other, it’s a lot harder.”
