The cost of raising a child can be daunting and for some, the cost of conceiving can be downright prohibitive.

Ellen Wright and her wife, Anne, recently turned to crowdfunding to help cover the cost.
Episode 8 Attorney Wright saw an interesting question posted on an online legal forum recently: Will I look bad if I refuse mediation? Reasons not to go may be many, but there could be consequences in court if your refuse. What does that mean for your case? What will the judge think? Are you putting your case at risk? Do you run the risk of giving the family law judge the wrong impression if you refuse to try to settle your case through the conciliation process?Although the conciliator/mediator is impartial, has family court experience and is trustworthy, you still may not be able to see yourself sitting down with your ex at the same table. Maybe you suffered abuse and trauma and you don't feel safe, or maybe you still just have unresolved anger issues and it's just too much to deal with.

Holidays can be stressful times even for families in which two parents reside together. Co-parenting during the holidays can cause unique challenges, especially if the separation or divorce happened relatively recently.

It's no secret that divorce and bankruptcy are among the most stressful and emotionally devastating experiences anyone can go through. In fact, it's safe to say that bankruptcy and divorce are the two areas of law people hope to avoid in their lifetime. Because married people often share the same financial issues and challenges, bankruptcy and divorce often go hand-in-hand. Most people understand the general concepts of bankruptcy and divorce, but the interplay between the two is usually a mystery. The intersection of these two areas of law can be very complex and be a source of great confusion. As such, people often have many questions about it. However, in many instances people are too overwhelmed to even think about it, let alone discuss it. In this episode Alethea Shaddox and Ellen Wright discuss the overlap and interplay between people who are facing divorce and bankruptcy.

Episode 93: We always struggle choosing which stories to share on the podcast, since we cannot post them all. But we found these two stories to be so complimentary, that we decided to play them together.
