People who need family lawyers are different from people who need other types of lawyers. If you are going through a separation or divorce, or if you need help with child custody or access, child or spousal support, or a children’s aid society issue, your case is about your life.The lawyer you choose, and how the separation agreement is settled will also determine how amicable or adversarial the divorce process is, once again impacting your life. In this episode of The Smart Divorce with Deborah Moskovitch, family law lawyer, John Schuman helps us understand the differences between all of the Alternative Dispute Resolutions to consider when coming to a separation agreement. We discuss the importance of staying out of court, but also when it might the only option. John has litigated before every level of court in Ontario, so readily understands the outcomes – not only from a decision perspective, but the impact on emotions as well.

Happy New Year from Single Again! Now What?! Lesley is in Ohio for Christmas break with her son and Joanie and Steve are holding court in this episode.

As Steve continues his path of being recently single, he finds himself asking many questions, such as, Why do relationships break up so quickly? Why don't we try harder to honor our vows and Why do we seem to live in a throw away society when it comes to the ones we once loved?

Steve references the movie he recently saw titled "Hope Springs". The movie tells the story of a middle-aged couple attending an intense, week-long counseling session to work on their relationship after thirty years of marriage. Communication is the key to staying in healthy relationship, and Steve wonders how we can believe what any wife, husband or lover says when months or years later, they seem to forget their vows.

Many people transitioning through a divorce want to distance themselves from the other party as quickly as possible and this can result in poor, and ultimately expensive, mistakes. Prematurely paying off joint credit cards, selling personal property, and buying or selling real estate are some examples that require extreme caution prior to the final settlement.

Buying a new home is a common first step to cleanse a person of the divorce experience. They want to leave the marital home and strike out on their own, make a fresh start and solidify their independence. What better way to express their new situation than to create an oasis in the form of a new home.

Divorce Real Estate Specialist, Joan Rogliano joins us to discuss the up and downside of real estate during divorce. Divorce Consultant, Deborah Moskovitch joins the show as well adding her expert opinion. If you are going through the process of divorce and own real estate, this is a "must hear" show.

Tis the season to be sick, and Lesley and Steve share their germ phobia and love for Pruell. Lesley has some funny stories of how her son cleans up after school and her plans to visit family in Ohio.

Happy Holidays from the Single Again! Now What? posse!

On this episode, Joanie, Lesley and Steve talk about custody issues divorced couples face during the holidays. Lesley's ex is choosing to be out of state and away from his son for Christmas in order to spend time with a new love interest. Steve and Joanie have strong feelings about this, but Lesley is taking the high road and doing what's in the best interest of her son.

This is the first show recorded from the new DSR studio, as Steve has recently moved and took the studio with him. Since Steve left everything to his wife after their divorce three years ago and has been living in a furnished place since, this entailed buying EVERYTHING new for the new place, an exhausting and expensive task that many find themselves doing after leaving a marriage and starting over.

The conversation turns to e-Dating services and the trio share their experiences with this. Joanie has been there, done that, Steve is just checking it out, and Lesley is far too busy to consider it at this time. So can true love really be found on-line? Stay tuned.

Finally, the gang talk about how the kids of someone you're dating can drive a wedge between your relationship. So what would you do if someone you were dating had kids that were rude and disrespectful of you? The girls pitch in with their thoughts.
