I'm still having nightmares about my custody case! How can I get past this? 
How can I find peace and protect my kids from further trauma? 

Maybe I should share my inner feelings with my kids and lean on them for emotional support! (WHAT?!)

                                         In this  Episode 29, PART TWO, Recorded on 6/4/2021,

Barry, Kevin and special guest Andrea Rice share their intelligent and well-spoken  (at least in their minds!) insights about how parties, partners and children can 'move on' after a divorce or custody case.  Heal the scars, prevent further damage.  Be the 'captain of the ship' in your household, prevent outside disruptions. 

• How can I begin dating again?
• Can I take my teenager's phone away as a punishment?
• I still hold bitter feelings toward my ex, should I talk about this to my kids?
• I should be just 'be myself' with my kids, right?
• Can I shout at my kids?  Every parent does that, right?
• I buy food, clothes and supplies for my kids -- I'll get credit for that, right?

The Judge is giving my little son his own lawyer?  But I'm his parent!  I know him better than anyone!  

                                         In this  Episode 28, PART TWO, Recorded on 4/23/2021,

Barry, Kevin and special guest Modupe Sobo share their battle-scarred war stories about the 'Guardians ad litem' and 'Child Representatives' that judges often appoint for children in hotly-contested custody and divorce cases.  They are appointed to serve as the 'eyes and ears of the court.'  

• What does that mean? 
• Do I have to pay this new attorney?
• Should I be afraid for myself?  For my child?
• How can I present myself in the best-possible light?  
• What should I tell my son or daughter before their interview?

Kevin, Barry and special guest Patrick Denkwa John expound and explain a tricky, sensitive topic:  How to talk to kids about their parents' breakup.  Plane crash?  Train wreck?  Just a parting of the ways?  It's tough to talk about!

Do you tell your son or daughter that you're moving out?  Do you explain the arguments they've been hearing?  Are you supposed to 'turn the other cheek' when the other parent misbehaves, trashes you, goes public with your dirty laundry?

In this Episode 26, PART TWO, Recorded on 2/19/2021, Kevin, Barry and special guest Daniel J. Florey open up the box, spread the pieces on the floor, and attempt to solve a very-difficult puzzle -- one that often arises in custody and visitation disputes:

What if the child is (reportedly or actually) refusing to spend time with the other parent?

• What if there's no evidence of danger?
• What if one parent is just trying to hurt or dispose of the other parent?
• Who should anyone believe?   
• Should the child have a say?  How much?  
• What about an attorney appointed to represent the child?  
• What can be done to fix the situation?   Is there hope?

"E-filing" is short for 'electronic filing' of legal documents with the Cook County (Illinois) Clerk of Circuit Court.   It's now required, unless you obtain a waiver.   

But there's hope:  E-filing can be done from the comfort of home, with just a computer, an internet connection and a credit or debit card. 

IF you can figure it out!

In this Episode 25, Recorded on 2/1/2021, Kevin, Barry and special guest Drew conduct a somewhat-incisive and occasionally-helpful discussion of E-filing. 

Have hope!  You can do this!

Did you know that a free website shows you names and pictures of everyone arrested in Chicago since January, 2014?
