Welcome back Weekenders! Today we're diving into the messy world of divorce and co-parenting. Our guest is family law superstar Rachel King, a self-proclaimed "family drama" specialist.

We kick things off by reminiscing about Jen's ill-fated year of law school and her own divorce war stories. Rachel admits about 30% of her cases are fighting against outside "whispering." Sound familiar?

Rachel schools us on the realities of court - like how "Disneyland dads" don't actually impact custody. We gasp (and laugh) at Jen's admission of what she was looking for in a attorney…which she boldly shared during their consultation…

Key topics covered include understanding the court's view of "best interest of the child," the do's and don'ts of co-parenting, learning to separate emotions from legal strategy, and why you MUST consult an attorney before taking random advice.

For those in the trenches, Rachel offers hope - with effective co-parenting even high-conflict situations can resolve. But you have to do the work. Tune in to hear the hilarious ways her clients have both helped and sabotaged their own cases!

By the end, we gather invaluable intel on evaluating attorneys plus Rachel's top 3 tips for successful co-parenting. Huge thanks to our family law queens Jen and Rachel for their unfiltered conversations on a topic essential to so many families.
