Lawfully Ever After

Today @LawyerJulie talks about something she sees all the time...parents recording their kids to get video "proof" of their kids not wanting to go to the other parent's house, or the kids complaining about the other parent in general. Is this a good idea? Can this video be used in court? What do the judges think? What if it's your spouse or ex-spouse you are recording, is that helpful to your case?

Julie Potts Esq (aka @LawyerJulie on TikTok) talks about a very common situation in divorce/custody issues: parties not reporting an increase in income to the other side. Julie discusses some options you have to get to the truth if you suspect your ex has gotten a promotion or is working under the table, and also explains how earning potential is calculated in Pennsylvania, and when you just might have no choice but to "get a job" even if you haven't worked while in your marriage.

In this episode, we take real-life custody scenarios anonymously posted on the internet and get @LawyerJulie's overall thoughts, where the law comes in to play, and some ideas of how she might handle the situation. Please remember that Julie is NOT giving legal advice and these are NOT stories from her actual clients.

We cover a lot in this episode, including:

• Do parents have to give permission to their co-parent to take their kids far away on vacation?
• Can a judge force a child to see a parent they don't know?
• Is it a good idea to give up custody to avoid conflict stemming from parental alienation?
• Is it worth going to court to get 50/50 custody when you are asked to settle on just a little less than 50%?
• Relocation - can you buy a house an hour away and force your coparent to drive your kids to you?

Have a scenario you'd like Julie's thoughts on? Feel free to email the podcast at [email protected]!

One of Julie's biggest pet peeves is when one parent talks poorly about the other parent directly to, or in front of, their child.  She covers alienation, triangulation, and some true story scenarios where the kids were deeply affected by being put in the middle.  This episode has examples, practical tips, and what you might hear in court if you try to influence your child's loyalty to one parent over the other.
