What's the best part of a lawyer's podcast? It's when they bring in the psychologist! This week we are excited to collaborate with Jenny Ma of Wake Up with Jenny & Friends. Jenny helps us understand the ways in which self care and boundaries can allow for a smoother transition into re-partnering or as she calls it "shining your shoes", Darren and Rob ask poignant questions like "what is journalling?", and a few laughs are shared about Jenny's ability to turn a phrase. Follow Jenny on social media here: https://www.instagram.com/wakeupwithjennyandfriends/?hl=en

What are laws?  Where did they come from?  How do our provincial and federal governments work together with our courts to make laws respecting things like divorce and family law matters?  It all starts with our constitution (1867 British North America Act and 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms).  We also sprinkle in a little bit of our common law (judge made laws) and then we have the right mix to create the perfect recipe for making effective laws governing divorce and family matters.

On this spooky version of Divorced and Done, Rob and Darren discuss how to scare a family lawyer: use a separation agreement from Staples or Office Depot. Kidding, kind of -- Staples if you see this, we'd love that free box of pens.

In reality, Darren and Rob break down the nuts and bolts of separation agreements. What should you know before you sign? Why should you ask a lawyer to help? And, how do you define possessions as things other than "stuff"? Plus: if you create a separation agreement using a kit from Office Depot, can it be used in a court of law in Canada?
