Divorce Team Radio - Your Source for Divorce and Family Law Matters

So much has happened in the past three weeks. We have received dozens of Emergency Orders and Amendments to those Orders. Orders are coming from our State and Local Government, the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the Chief Judges of each county/circuit in Georgia. In this show, Leh and Todd discuss the status of our Courts here in Georgia and what you can do to stay on top of this ever changing landscape if you have a current case in our court system.

Leh and Todd take on a variety of questions about dealing with assets and liabilities in a divorce action. The questions they take on include:

Will I be protected from bankruptcy if I divorce my husband?

Can my husband have the home put in his sons name to keep me from having access to it during a divorce ?

Do I need an attorney to dissolve a 'Rights to survivor" on my home owned jointly with my husband? Or is there something else I can do?

Can my spouse take my car during a divorce when she only cosigned and it's registered to me and the insurance is in my name?

In this show, Todd and Leh answer a variety of child custody questions based on specific fact patterns. Included are questions like:

If the non-custodial mother moves from Georgia to Florida with no notice, what can we do?

How can me and my husband win custody of my 15 year old stepdaughter?

My husband has my child most of the time. I just found out that theres no running water in the house. Can my child just stay with me?

Are there loop holes in a morality clause or can a morality clause be removed from a divorce decree?

Can I use a domestic violence police report from my ex and his new spouse in my custody case?

This show was pre-recorded last week. A lot has happened since they recorded this. Leh and Todd had predicted Court closures while they were recording the show. Since they recorded the show, a number of Court systems have issued emergency orders addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. In this show, they discuss what to do if your case is put on hold and whether there is anything you can do to be proactive if there is an emergency issue that you need the Court to address.

Sarah Armstrong came back on the show to talk about her recently revised edition of A Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce. Sarah explained what inspired her to write The Mom's Guide to a Good Divorce and what provoked her to revise the book now. Leh and Todd discussed with her what she added, why she felt it was important, and how she actually reorganized some of the content to help it flow a little better. Sarah also shared new ways parents can lessen the impact of divorce on children.

A divorce is a tough transition for a child. Often problems are compounded when a mom or dad remarry and the new spouse has children of their own. Without proper planning to deal with this transition in our busy world, families and children can suddenly find themselves in the middle of a chaotic mess. In this show, Leh and Todd discuss tips on how to raise an organized child in a blended family, help them with the transition and develop valuable life skills.

In their first ever divorce movie review, Leh and Todd discuss the Netflix Original "Marriage Story" staring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, along with a fantastic group of supporting actors. They break down what they liked and disliked about the movie. They also discussed how 'realistic' the movie was, from a legal and practical standpoint. You might be surprised by what they said.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Leh and Todd interview Ellen Marmon. Ellen is a licensed counselor who has a personal story that is truly inspiring. We are thankful that she was willing to share her story with us on today's show, and we think you will be too. Ellen's divorce was not the end of her marriage to her husband. It was actually the beginning of a personal journey for both of them that led them back together and into a marriage that was stronger than ever.

When you properly prepare for your divorce, you will accomplish three things. You will increase your chance of a positive outcome. You will increase your chances of having an amicable divorce because you will not be operating from a place of fear. Lastly, you will decrease your overall costs because you will save money in attorney's fees. In this show, Leh and Todd help you better prepare by giving you 7 steps to take before filing for a divorce.

Most people do not take divorce lightly. For those that have never been through a divorce, they do not have any experience to rely on when deciding if divorce is the right option. In this show, Leh and Todd propose 4 questions to ask yourself before you pull the divorce trigger. As with most life events, asking the right questions (and working hard to answer them) can set you on the right path and provide a better outcome.
