This episode explains that after a divorce, responsibility for debt depends on whether it was incurred individually or jointly during the marriage.

To avoid complications, it’s important to close or refinance joint accounts and seek legal advice.

This episode explores the debate over no-fault divorce, which allows couples to divorce without proving fault. Critics argue it weakens marriage and contributes to family breakdown. Supporters counter that requiring proof of fault can prolong legal battles, increase costs, and trap individuals in abusive marriages. Since divorce laws are determined at the state level, federal influence over them is minimal.

In this episode, Kirk Stange discusses the common assumption in divorce and family courts that individuals in a relationship are inherently similar, encapsulated by the phrase "birds of a feather fly together." This thought process suggests that if one party exhibits erratic or irrational behavior, the other is likely the same, based on the notion that they chose each other for marriage or parenthood.

A motion to compel in family law litigation is filed when one party fails to respond to discovery requests (like interrogatories or document requests) or provides incomplete responses. The motion asks the court to order the non-compliant party to answer fully. Judges typically review the responses and may impose deadlines, sustain objections, or award attorney’s fees if misconduct is evident. This process helps ensure both parties share the necessary information for divorce or family law cases.
