This week on The Divorce & Beyond® Podcast, Leading Family Law Attorney, Lauren Hunt visits to discuss with Host, Susan Guthrie® everything you need to know to pick the right attorney for your divorce case!
There are few decisions in divorce as important as choosing your attorney who will be your guide, advisor and advocate through the process. The common knee jerk reaction is to search far and wide for the "shark, bulldog or barracuda" attorney. We think we need the biggest, baddest lawyer out there to protect us, but is this true? Is a down and dirty fighter what we truly want and need? Attorney Lauren Hunt joins Susan to talk about what you should be looking for in choosing your attorney. Lauren covers topics such as:
- What questions to ask a prospective attorney;
- Where to find the best attorney prospects;
- How to read those Google and Yelp reviews;
- What the MOST important quality in a divorce attorney is that you should be searching for;
- What to do if you hired the wrong attorney;
AND MUCH MORE!
Before you run out and hire that shark be sure to listen to this episode - it will save you a lot of time, money and heartache!

Bill returns to Divorce & Beyond to help you understand what you are dealing with and how to best protect yourself, and your children, when caught up in the emotional storm of divorce with a high conflict personality.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Therapists, Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg, authors of "Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce," about the effects of parental divorce on adult children, and how the negative repurcussions can be minimized.
It is no secret that gray divorce is on the rise world-wide. In fact, divorce among those who have been married for 30 years or more or who are divorcing later in life, is one of the largest segments of those who are divorcing today. Much has been written about the unique difficulties faced by those who divorce close to or during retirement and after long-term marriages, but there is a forgotten segment of people who are deeply impacted by the divorce - the adult children whose parents are going through a gray divorce.
Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg, both family therapists, collaborative professionals and mediators, have done a deep dive into this topic with years of personal experience with patients and families as well as a great deal of research which they have distilled into a ground-breaking new book, "Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce." It is easy to believe that children who are adults, perhaps with families of their own, will have little to no impact when their parents divorce but the reverse is actually true. Carol and Bruce provide guidance for parents, children and even therapists in their book and this episode provides insights and tips into this growing paradigm!
To enter to win one of 5 FREE Audible copies of the book, please send an email to Carol Hughes at drcarolhughes@me.com and mention "Divorce & Beyond!"

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with leading family law attorney and author, Ashley Nicole Russell about how her experience of as a child of a toxic divorce turned her into a tireless crusader to help families restructure through the process with dignity, privacy and self-determination without ever having to go to court.
Ashley Nicole Russell says she had a fairly normal childhood, at least that is, until her parents' vicious divorce and never-ending cycle of conflict "cut the roots out from under her." Today, Ashley Nicole no longer has a relationship with her parents, at least not right now, but her experience has made her a leader in the world of family law. Collaborative divorce is yet another method for couples to utilize when going through a divorce. The collaborative process is predicated upon compiling a curated integrative team to support the family and to help forge a new path forward for all. A principal concept of a collaborative divorce, is that no one need go to court at all and that all issues be resolved cooperatively.
Hear more from Ashley Nicole Russell in this episode and find out from one of the leading collaborative attorneys in the country why you and your family should not HESITATE to COLLABORATE!

In this very special episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with the leading high conflict divorce expert in the world, Attorney, Mediator and Therapist, Bill Eddy, who shares tips and insights from his new book, Mediating High Conflict Disputes, which flips the long held belief that you have to litigate these cases on it's head!
For years it has been the industry belief that divorces involving one or more high conflict people cannot be mediated and that litigation is the only way forward. In fact, Bill Eddy, the world's leading expert on high conflict divorce, thought this was true himself but after 40 years as a therapist, attorney and mediator he now knows better. Bill has determined that high conflict divorces CAN be mediated moreover, they SHOULD be mediated rather than litigated.
In his latest book, Mediating High Conflict Disputes, Bill sets out his revolutionary methods for mediating with high conflict parties in a book that will help both mediation professionals as well as those facing the divorce process. Bill's effective method for mediating high conflict disputes involves flipping some long-standing mediation norms upside down but his methods work and are a lifeline for those who want to end the ongoing conflict cycle of a high conflict litigated divorce.
This episode will change the way you approach high conflict divorce forever! Be sure to listen today!
