In this episode, Alison Herlihy and the team at Herlihy Family law talk through what family law mediation actually looks like in divorce, child custody, and support cases, and why it’s often the best chance you’ll get to shape your own outcome instead of handing decisions to a judge.

When a personal injury collides with a divorce, every dollar has a job—and the labels on those dollars decide who keeps what. Alison Herlihy is joined by Brian Comer, a seasoned personal injury lawyer, to break down the difference between economic damages that often touch the marital estate and non‑economic harms like pain and disfigurement that usually stay with the injured spouse. From settlements that fail to itemize losses to verdicts that clearly map wages and medicals, we explain how documents, expert reports, and trial arguments can “reverse engineer” the categories courts rely on.
