New Jersey Divorce attorney John Nachlinger saw a lot of his male clients getting run over in divorce because they didn't see it coming and didn't know how to talk about what they were going through.  Why? Because they grew up thinking it was best to keep their feelings to themselves. John saw it as a big problem that he could help solve.

In this episode of the Modern Divorce Podcast, attorney Billie Tarascio talks with John about why men suffer in divorce and how coaching has helped his male clients understand why divorce needs a game plan - just like a sports team - and a personal sidelines coach ready to help with the next "play."

What would you do if you discovered your partner had a secret drug addiction? Katie McHone-Jones of the Boy Problems Podcast shares her story on the Modern Divorce Podcast on her husband's addiction to heroin and how she supported him on his journey of recovery. 

Boy is a street name for heroin, which sounds benign but is anything but. In fact, all street drugs are likely to come laced with potentially fatal amounts of fentanyl. That could affect any age addict, and it may put teenagers, who are experimenting with street drugs, at high risk for an overdose, or worse.

Are you ready to talk to your kids about what this could mean for them if they experiment with drugs? Where do you start? And can you hold a family together even when someone is melting down?

Most parents believe they are vigilant in making sure their kids are kept safe from pedophiles,  but sex crimes prosecutor Stacey Honowitz is here to say otherwise. The Broward County Florida prosecutor has been fighting for victims of sex crimes for more than 30 years, and she understands the complete playbook molesters use when scouting out young victims.

In this episode of the Modern Divorce Podcast, she shares with host Billie Tarascio the ways abusers insinuate themselves into the lives of young people to take advantage of them, sometimes right under the nose of a child's parents. How to stop it? She details the key ways to help children and parents recognize the bad guys, and take action against them when necessary.

Stacey has written fun and simple books parents can read to their children to help them understand how to set boundaries, including: My Privates are Private, and Genius with a Penis, Don’t Touch. These books make it easy for parents to comfortably and frankly discuss inappropriate touching with their children and teach the importance of speaking up and reporting abuse.
