In today’s episode, Jim is joined by Mr. Peter Crawford, one of JC Law’s clerks and a soon-to-be barred attorney at our Linthicum office, for a discussion on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and the roles that they play in marriage and divorce.

On our latest installment, we’re pleased to welcome JC Law’s own Vice President of Operations, Mrs. Elise Crawford-Gallagher, for a discussion on current marital trends in American society and what factors may be playing a role in an increased number of divorces and failed marriages.

Jim and Elise begin by discussing the modern attitude towards divorce in America, and how a decrease in marriages and family stability could impact society at large. Next our two hosts share their own personal takes on the respective roles of each spouse in a marriage, and how the struggles that may arise when trying to balance individual growth with marital success.

Finally, Jim delves into a topic many consider taboo, that of pornography use. Namely, how an increase in porn viewing could (and often does) lead to marital tension, and in some unfortunate cases can even contribute to a divorce.
