In the podcast realm we dive into how to appeal divorce judgements and how to remove outside relief from your divorce process.

Have you ever thought about self-representing in court? Darren and Rob discuss what that looks like from a lawyer's perspective. They also discuss the differences between starting a court proceeding and filing an application. 

How do you feel about chamber music? Rob and Darren can confirm if music plays in the courtroom. Hold on tight because later in the episode they discuss the cost of court during your divorce.
