Most people who go through divorce will tell you the same thing: "I was blindsided." But were they really? Or were the signs there all along, just not recognized for what they were?
That is the question at the center of this conversation, and Susan Guthrie is bringing in one of the true icons of family law to answer it. Marilyn Chinitz, partner at Blank Rome and renowned matrimonial attorney with more than four decades of experience, has sat across from thousands of clients who never saw it coming. She knows the red flags. She knows the financial blind spots. And she does not mince words.
Right now, a memoir is taking over the national conversation. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden has ignited a bellwether of attention. This book has people everywhere asking, "How did she not see it?" Susan and Marilyn use this moment as a launching pad to go somewhere deeper: the patterns, the red flags, and the financial realities that every person in a marriage or contemplating one needs to understand.
Covered in this episode:
- The red flags hiding in plain sight, including subtle communication patterns, financial avoidance, and how your spouse treats others
- A client story that shows exactly how a prenup gives you a heads up about who you are marrying
- How trusts work in a marriage, why they are often set up completely legitimately, and when they cross into "funny business" that courts will not tolerate
- Why you do not divorce the same person you married, and what that really means for how you need to prepare
THIS CONVERSATION ALSO DIGS INTO WHY BEING AN EQUAL PARTNER MEANS BEING AN INFORMED ONE
Assets could be held in a trust you did not know about. The home could be rented. The wealth could be encumbered by debt. And if you never asked, you may not find out until you are sitting across from a divorce attorney.
- Ask to sit down and go through the finances together, even once a year
- Review bank statements, tax returns, and credit card accounts
- Understand what is in your name, what is joint, and what is held in a trust
- If your spouse brushes you off or refuses, that is a red flag worth taking seriously
- Get professionals around you: a financial advisor, a forensic accountant, and an attorney, even before anything goes wrong
This is not about suspicion. It is about being an equal partner and an informed one. The time to understand what you have is during a happy, intact marriage, not across a conference table from a divorce attorney. You are better off having that conversation early.

Over the past couple of weeks, headlines have described a tragic murder suicide involving a couple going through a divorce, once again framing it as a "contentious divorce." Let's be very clear about something: divorce did not cause what happened. Divorce does not cause murder. Domestic violence causes murder.
That is why Susan Guthrie is doing this difficult but important solo episode. She walks through the patterns of abuse, the high risk indicators that change a situation entirely, why the moment of separation is so dangerous, and what a thoughtful, strategic exit actually looks like.
This conversation moves from awareness to action, so if any part of what you hear feels familiar, you have something calm and structured to carry with you as you think through your next steps.
Covered in this episode:
- Why the moment of separation is often the most dangerous time, and how understanding that allows you to move more thoughtfully and strategically.
- The high risk indicators to take seriously: strangulation, threats to kill, access to firearms, stalking, extreme jealousy or control, and statements like "if I can't have you, no one will."
- What a thoughtful, strategic exit actually looks like, from quiet planning and digital safety to building a small, trusted circle of support.
- Why your children and pets must be part of your safety plan from the very beginning.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: ACCESS TO A FIREARM SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES YOUR RISK
If there is access to a firearm and you are leaving, you have to take that seriously. It significantly increases risk. This is where having professional guidance before you leave, and as you are making your plan, becomes critical.
- Find a domestic violence advocate
- Find a divorce coach who specializes in helping people experiencing domestic abuse or violence
- Meet with an attorney who understands the risks
- Include your children and your pets in your safety plan from the beginning
- Do not announce your plan before you are ready, as that can increase your risk
This is not a time for informal arrangements. The structure of your plan will matter, and getting guidance early on and plotting your strategy so that it is fully developed can make a meaningful difference.

You have probably done it. Typed a question about your divorce into ChatGPT or another AI tool late at night, when you did not want to call anyone else. You are not alone.
In this solo episode, family law attorney and mediator Susan Guthrie answers the 7 most common divorce questions people are asking AI, with the depth and 35-plus years of experience that make the difference between a good-enough answer and the right one.
The 7 questions covered:
- What are the most common mistakes people make during divorce?
- How can I find the right resources and support to help me through divorce?
- What are the best ways to communicate with my ex-spouse?
- What are effective strategies for co-parenting after divorce?
- How can I use divorce as an opportunity for growth and transformation?
- How do I protect my financial future during and after divorce?
- What should I know about the legal process my attorney might not tell me?
Susan also covers how to use AI smartly during your divorce, including three legal risks every person in an active proceeding should understand before typing private details into a commercial AI.
IMPORTANT: A LEGAL CAUTION ABOUT USING AI IN YOUR DIVORCE
This episode covers what AI gets right and wrong about divorce. It also addresses something rarely discussed in public: the legal risks of using commercial AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini while going through a divorce proceeding.
- Do not enter private financial details, asset information, or custody specifics into commercial AI platforms
- Case law is still developing, but courts have already ruled that AI conversations can be subject to discovery in legal proceedings
- Entering attorney-client privileged communications, therapist notes, doctor-patient information, or financial professional advice into a commercial AI may waive those legal privileges permanently
Use AI to understand general concepts. Keep the specific details of your situation in privileged, protected spaces: your attorney's office, your therapist's room, your mediator's table.

What If Your Divorce Case Is Already Building Itself Without You Knowing?
Your texts. Your Venmo transactions. Your location history. Your Google searches. Even the files you thought you deleted. In divorce, your digital life is not just part of your story. It is the evidence. And right now, the advice circulating on social media about how to handle it is often incomplete, misleading, and in some cases dangerously wrong.
In this solo episode, Susan Guthrie, top divorce attorney, mediator, and host of Divorce & Beyond, cuts through the noise with the clarity that comes from more than 35 years in the courtroom. She walks through what is trending on TikTok and Instagram right now, what popular media is actually getting right, and where the real legal risks live for people who act on bad information.
Because access to information is not the same as having the legal right to use it. And one decision made in a moment of frustration can create consequences that follow your case all the way to its end.
What You Will Learn
- What social media is getting right about digital footprints in divorce, and exactly where the advice breaks down
- Why the most damaging mistakes happen in moments of urgency, not deliberate choices
- The critical difference between building a case strategy and simply trying to catch your spouse, and why that distinction matters legally
- What courts are actually ruling about AI tools in divorce, including a real decision finding that AI chat logs were discoverable by the other side
- Why more information does not automatically strengthen your position, and how improperly obtained evidence can become leverage against you
- Five actionable takeaways, including why you must assume your entire digital life is discoverable from the moment divorce becomes a possibility
Free Resource: The Tech Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Divorce Case
Seven costly errors people are making right now with digital evidence in divorce, and what to do instead. This practical guide includes a before-you-act checklist, a social media reality check, and clear guidance on AI tools. Written by a nationally recognized divorce attorney.

Most people assume the hardest part of divorce is getting through it. What they do not realize is that the agreement they sign at the end is what they are going to live with long after it is over.
Susan Guthrie has spent more than 35 years watching the same costly patterns show up in her work. What attorneys, mediators, and post-divorce litigation trends are revealing is that many of the most expensive problems people face after divorce are coming directly from how their agreements were structured in the first place. In so many of those situations, the real issue did not start with enforcement. It started with how the agreement was written, and how it was negotiated.
In this solo episode, Susan walks through the five most costly mistakes people are making in divorce agreements right now, the patterns that keep showing up again and again, and how to avoid them before it is too late.
What You’ll Learn
- Why rushing to be done is the most common and costly mistake in divorce, and why the agreement you rushed through today is the one you will wish you had slowed down for later
- How financial misunderstanding leads people to agree to things they do not fully understand, and why confusion in divorce is not neutral, it is expensive
- Why vague agreements do not create flexibility, they create conflict
- How emotional decision making during divorce leads to long-term consequences that people did not anticipate, and the one question Susan wants every listener to ask themselves before agreeing to anything
- Why not thinking about the beyond is one of the biggest drivers of future problems, and how to make sure your agreement is built to support your future, not just end your marriage

Two of Susan Guthrie's greatest passions, divorce and family law, and the world of AI, come together in this episode, and the result is something truly powerful.
Post-separation abuse is something far too many people experience, but the legal system still struggles to understand. Many people assume that once someone leaves an abusive relationship, the danger is over. But in reality, the abuse often changes form. It can show up as litigation abuse, weaponized communication, or ongoing coercive control that leaves survivors feeling like they are still walking on eggshells, even in family court.
Susan is joined by Anne Wintemute, co-founder and CEO of AimeeSays, an AI tool built specifically to support survivors of relationship abuse. AimeeSays helps survivors document their experiences, identify patterns of coercive control, and organize their story in a way that professionals and courts can actually understand. This is the bridge that has been missing.
What You Will Learn
- Why the legal system tends to focus on isolated incidents rather than patterns of behavior, and why that gap can be so damaging for survivors
- How documenting patterns of coercive control, rather than individual incidents, can change the way a story is received in court
- Why survivors often struggle to tell their story clearly, and how trauma directly impacts testimony
- How AI technology is helping survivors organize their experiences and communicate what they have lived through in ways that courts and professionals can actually understand
- Why legal professionals need to know about tools like AimeeSays and how it can help them help their clients
Golden Nuggets
- Leaving an abusive relationship does not always end the abuse. For many survivors, the abuse simply changes form, often showing up as litigation abuse, coercive control, and weaponized communication during and after divorce.
- One of the greatest challenges survivors face in family court is that the system tends to look for isolated incidents, while abuse often exists as a pattern of behavior over time. Being able to document those patterns clearly can make an enormous difference in how a story is understood.
- Technology may finally be helping to bridge that gap. Tools like AimeeSays are helping survivors organize their experiences, recognize patterns, and communicate what they have been living through in ways that courts and professionals can better understand.

When most people think about divorce, they picture the legal process. They imagine paperwork, lawyers, and courtrooms. But the reality is that divorce often begins long before any legal step is taken.
In this episode, Susan Guthrie sits down with Erin Levine, founder of Hello Divorce, to talk about the stage of divorce that almost no one talks about: the years of uncertainty before a decision is ever made.
For many people, the hardest part of divorce is not the legal process itself. It is the emotional limbo that happens beforehand. The sleepless nights. The constant questioning. The fear about what life might look like on the other side.
Susan and Erin explore why so many people spend years wrestling with the decision to leave a marriage, what happens emotionally during that time, and how having the right information and support can dramatically change the experience.
If you are currently wondering whether to stay or go, this episode will help you understand that what you are feeling is incredibly common and that there are ways to move forward with more clarity and less fear.
What You Will Learn
• Why many people contemplate divorce for three to five years before taking action
• Why the emotional uncertainty before divorce can be the most exhausting stage
• How lack of information often keeps people stuck in limbo
• Why most divorces do not need to become courtroom battles
• How mediation and other structured processes can help families move through divorce more constructively
• Why preparation and clarity can dramatically change divorce outcomes
Key Takeaways from This Conversation
The Hidden Stage of Divorce
Divorce often begins years before anyone files paperwork. Many people spend long periods quietly struggling with whether their marriage can be saved or whether it is time to move on.
Living in Uncertainty Is Emotionally Draining
The constant question of whether to stay or leave can take an enormous emotional toll. By the time someone actually moves forward with divorce, they may already feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Information Creates Clarity
Fear thrives in uncertainty. When people begin learning about their options and understanding the divorce process, they are able to make decisions from a place of knowledge rather than panic.
Divorce Does Not Have to Be a War
Many couples are able to resolve their divorce through mediation or negotiated agreements outside of court. Understanding these options can significantly reduce conflict and stress.
Golden Nuggets from This Episode
• Divorce itself is often not what breaks people. It is the years of uncertainty leading up to the decision.
• Many people live in emotional limbo for years before they ever speak to a professional about divorce.
• When people have access to information and structured support, they are far more likely to resolve their divorce outside of court.
• Preparation and clarity allow people to approach divorce more thoughtfully and with less fear.
• Divorce does not have to be a battle. With the right guidance, it can be a transition toward a healthier future.

When people talk about gray divorce, the conversation usually focuses on the couple: finances, retirement, and starting over later in life. But there is another group deeply affected by these late in life separations that often goes overlooked: adult children.
The divorce rate for couples over 50 has more than doubled in recent decades, and as more long term marriages end later in life, families are navigating a transition many never expected. Even when children are fully grown, the divorce of their parents can reshape family dynamics, create loyalty conflicts, and disrupt long standing family roles.
In this episode of the Divorce & Beyond Podcast, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Carol Hughes, co author of the groundbreaking book Home Will Never Be the Same Again. Carol first joined the podcast in 2021 with co author Bruce Fredenburg to discuss their research on adult children of gray divorce. She returns to share updated insights from both research and real world experiences about how adult children are affected when their parents divorce later in life.
Together, Susan and Carol explore why gray divorce can be more emotionally disruptive for adult children than many parents realize, the common mistakes parents unintentionally make during this transition, and the powerful ways families can protect relationships even as the family structure changes.
This is an essential conversation for anyone navigating divorce after 50, adult children trying to understand their parents’ separation, or professionals working with families where gray divorce is reshaping the entire family system.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• Why gray divorce affects the entire family, not just the couple
• How loyalty conflicts can place adult children in painful and inappropriate roles
• Why feeling unheard is one of the leading causes of estrangement between parents and adult children after divorce
• How empathy, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful communication can help protect family relationships

How to Tell Your Adult Children You Are Getting Divorced: A Conversation Planning Guide

Time is supposed to heal everything. But for the millions of people navigating divorce after betrayal, that promise falls flat. They're functioning, managing the kids, showing up to work, doing all the things, and still carrying the weight of something that happened years, sometimes decades, ago. Fine, it turns out, is not the same as healed.
In this powerful episode, Susan Guthrie welcomes back Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and author of the new book Unstuck:The Practitioner's Guide to Moving Betrayal Clients from Survival to Transformation. Together, they unpack why so many people who have experienced betrayal, whether infidelity, financial deception, or the shattering of expectations that comes with divorce itself, get trapped in a cycle that looks like survival but feels like anything but living. Dr. Debi's research, drawn from over 100,000 people tested, reveals that healing from betrayal is not just possible. It is predictable.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked, "Why am I still not over this?" Whether you are in the middle of a divorce, just discovering a betrayal, or years out and still feeling its grip, the lessons in this episode apply. It is also essential listening for the legal professionals, coaches, therapists, and mediators who want to understand what is truly going on beneath the surface.
What You’ll Learn
- Betrayal in divorce is not just about infidelity. It is a collapse of trust on every level
- How Post Betrayal Syndrome keeps people physically, mentally, and emotionally stuck long after the relationship has ended
- The five proven, predictable stages of betrayal recovery and why most people unknowingly park in Stage Three
- Why self-trust is the real wound of betrayal and how rebuilding it through boundaries, intuition, and small kept promises is where healing actually begins
- How the Window of Willingness reveals whether the person who betrayed you is genuinely doing the work, and what that means for your path forward
- Why transformation does not begin until Stage Four and how Dr. Debi's new book Unstuck gives practitioners a roadmap for guiding betrayal clients all the way through, not just to fine

Divorce does not always change living arrangements overnight. Many couples file for divorce, expect everything to shift, and then walk back into the same home… with the same routines… and often even more tension than before. Living under the same roof after deciding a marriage is over can quickly become emotionally volatile if it is not handled intentionally.
That is why Susan Guthrie welcomes back divorce and co-parenting coach Jenny Stevens. Together, they break down what it really takes to live under the same roof while divorcing, including how to create boundaries, communicate without escalating, and protect your emotional stability during a phase that can feel like navigating a daily minefield.
This conversation explores the practical realities of cohabiting during divorce and why structure, communication, and intentional boundaries are essential to getting through this transitional period without creating additional conflict or long-term damage.
What You’ll Learn
- Living together during divorce becomes more manageable when you accept it as a practical reality and approach it with intentional planning, clear communication, and emotional awareness.
- Structure protects stability by creating clear boundaries, defined household expectations, and consistent communication that reduces conflict.
- Shifting mentally from partners to roommates helps lower emotional intensity and makes daily interactions more functional and less reactive.
- Small triggers are less likely to escalate when boundaries are clear and communication stays respectful and intentional.
- Viewing this phase as temporary helps you stay focused on moving through it with stability and clarity instead of creating unnecessary long term damage.
About the Guest
Jenny Stevens is a divorce and life transition coach known as The Champion of Change. Based in Chicago and working with clients nationwide, she helps individuals navigate divorce, co-parenting, and major life transitions with clarity and confidence.
