I'm chatting with Erin Levine, the founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, about why the push to get rid of no-fault divorce is seriously bad news—especially for women. No-fault divorce has enabled people to leave marriages without having to prove things like abuse or cheating and it makes women safer. The GOP wants to repeal or restrict no-fault divorce. We're here to break down why that's a huge problem. Erin, a lawyer-turned-CEO, has been shaking up the divorce world with Hello Divorce, a platform that makes the whole process smoother, easier, and less stressful. In this episode, we discuss what no-fault divorce is, why it matters, and what could happen if it's taken away. Spoiler alert: it's not good. Featured topics: No-fault divorce: What it is, and how it differs from fault-based divorce (4:55) How no-fault laws help victims leave unsafe marriages (6:55) Why the rollback of no-fault divorce would be disastrous (32:17) What you can do to ensure no-fault divorce protections remain in place (34:16) Learn more about Erin Levine: Erin Levine is not your typical attorney. With over a decade of experience in litigating complex family matters, she saw the need for a kinder, easier and more affordable pathway out of marriage and into the next chapter of life. To achieve this, Erin set out to revolutionize the broken divorce system and founded Hello Divorce, a venture capital backed, tech-enabled platform, that combines self-service online tools with integrated expert advice, making it easier for everyone to navigate their lives and finances with less stress and mess. Erin's innovative approach to the divorce process has earned her media mentions from the legal industry and beyond, with recent features in Vice, Forbes, American Bar Association Journal, Business Insider and TechCrunch. Ultimately, Erin is on a mission to help separating couples empower a better life ahead and has helped thousands of Americans reorganize their lives and families through a framework that levels the playing field between spouses so they can sort things out fairly, avoid missteps and reimagine their next (best) chapter.

Amy Polacko, Divorce and Empowerment Coach and Investigative Journalist returns to The Divorce & Beyond podcast with Susan Guthrie. Amy is here to help bust the top five myths of domestic abuse. The myths being busted are prominent and often repeated time and again. We must raise awareness so we don't perpetuate these myths and continue to cause incredible harm. Amy Polacko is committed to helping women live on their terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce. As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to support, inspire, and guide single women. She is also an award-winning journalist highlighting women's issues, including divorce, domestic abuse, coercive control, and singlehood.  Myth Busting and Golden Nuggets includ Myth #1: “The Hysterical Woman.” Labeling women as "hysterical" diminishes their experiences and allows the cycle of abuse to continue. Myth #2: “Why didn't she just leave?” One reason: You need to have a safe exit plan, which takes time and planning. Myth #3: If there isn't physical violence, it's not really abuse. The more we tell stories of domestic abuse, the more aware we can become.  Myth #4: “It only happens in poor families.” Domestic abuse doesn't discriminate and affects people across all socioeconomic backgrounds. Myth #5: “What happens in someone's home is a private matter.” Domestic abuse isn't a private issue; it has societal repercussions.  What you can do to help break the cycle of abuse and raise awareness. **************************************** About this week's special guest: Amy Polacko Amy Polacko is a Freedom Warrior - and is committed to helping women live life on their own terms during/after a toxic relationship or divorce.

Erin Levine, the resource recovery manager at World Centric, a maker of compostable packaging and tableware, returns to the show to share ideas about a low-waste holiday season and discuss the evolution of composting in California. The holidays are a time for family, community, faith, and fun, but they are also some of the most wasteful days of the year -- Americans toss more than a third of the food grown annually. Erin recently contributed an article to Earth911, Tips for Planning a Sustainable Holiday Meal. We'll her ideas about reducing waste and leftover food that too often ends up in a landfill, where they generate 14.5% of U.S. methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere many times faster than CO2. Erin last talked with us in March, when the state's mandatory composting law, SB 1383, or the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, had just been put into practice. We'll get an update about progress, how it is changing the options for Californians, and progress toward clear definitions of compostability for bioplastics and fiber-based packaging. World Centric has worked to eliminate PFAS, or "forever chemicals," from its fiber packaging and is introducing bamboo- and bagasse-based tableware, which will make the product of industrial composting programs safe for use in agriculture and home gardens. California's statewide composting progress has been slow because of the lack of industrial composting capacity, which creates the higher temperatures necessary to break down many materials.

This week we look into the truth about compostable foodservice and packaging with Erin Levine, Resource Recovery Manager at World Centric [https://www.worldcentric.com/]. We delve into environmental concerns, what is actually biodegradable, how fossil fuel dependence fits into the game, and whether we should focus instead on reusable cups, bags, flatware, etc. We also talk about organics waste, which includes yard waste and plant trimmings, food scraps, and food soiled paper. At approx. 40%, organic matter is the largest contributor of material in the landfill. Waste food makes up around 20%. When this material starts to slowly decompose it creates the 3rd largest source of human related methane emissions in the USA according to the EPA. Methane is a climate super pollutant up to 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Diverting wasted organics away from landfills and into systems like compost can not only reduce methane emissions, it supports healthier soils, stronger plants, and cleaner air through carbon sequestration. Composting is a climate oriented solution that we need and can enact immediately. That being said, business and public participation in accurately separating organic waste so that it can be composted is key to collecting and processing this material, especially wasted food. So by using compostable foodware can we divert more food from landfill, reduce ghg emissions, and lessen the consumption of single use plastics? *Erin Levine is the Resource Recovery Manager at World Centric, manufacturer of compostable products.

As the managing member of Levine Family Law Group and the CEO of Hello Divorce, Erin Levine is the prototype of the kind of lawyerpreneur that this podcast has always sought to highlight. She is also using her platform and entrepreneurship to help provide access to justice to those in need. Levine is a founding member of the recently-launched Justice Technology Association, where my co-host today, Maya Markovich, is the executive director.During the interview, Levine talks about experiencing burnout with her business and law practice, and coming out on the other side of it. A part of the burnout she experienced was the disintegration of the meaning and satisfaction she derived from problem-solving for others in her family law practice. When she realized that traditional family law approaches weren't meeting people's needs, she reached for a new method and a new model. And Hello Divorce was born, allowing Erin Levine to incorporate her creativity back into a business that would meet the needs of more people.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/lawyerpreneur)

Erin Levine, Resource Recovery Manager at World Centric, a Rohnert Park, Calif.-based manufacturer of 100% compostable tableware and food packaging, joins Mitch to discuss California's mandatory composting law, SB 1383. After passage in 2016, the new law, known as the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, went into effect after five years of preparation on January 1, 2022. SB 1383 requires all businesses, apartment and condo buildings as well as individual homeowners in California are now required to compost food waste, and the law also aims to reduce by 20% the current surplus of edible foods sent to landfills. It is a game-changing move and raises many questions about the compostability of everyday products purchased in the state.We've had WorldCentric on the show several times because of the company's socially-driven mission and focus on reducing use of unrecyclable materials. They contribute a minimum of 25% of their profits to grassroots community organizations and environmental projects each year and pioneered the Certified B Corporation movement in business. In this episode, we dig into composting: What can be composted? How can composting collection can be improved? What are the different approaches to home and industrial composting we need to understand in order to send compostables to the right place for processing. What composting labels to look for, including the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) label. You can learn more about World Centric at https://www.worldcentric.net/.

The expense of divorce can be quite a burden, especially with today's rising costs forcing us all to do more with less. Erin Levine, founder of Hello Divorce, is seeking to change that narrative. An experienced divorce attorney herself, Erin wanted to find a way to reduce the most expensive part of the divorce process — attorneys. She recognized that most divorces don't require litigation. Instead, clients need a basic set of resources and support from compassionate professionals who can help make the legal divorce process as painless as possible. “The goal of Hello Divorce is to make divorce easier, friendlier, and a lot more affordable,” Erin says. “It doesn't mean that there won't be conflict. There's almost always conflict. But it doesn't mean that we need to ramp up the divorce such that we're battling it out in court.” She developed Hello Divorce to be a checklist and one-stop-shop for attaining divorce resources — from compiling documents, to mediation, to working with an attorney to draft and submit the final paperwork to court. Hello Divorce is customizable and can be tailored to fit each person's particular needs. Its competitive pricing packages and à la carte services provide options that are typically out of reach for most people. Though the full suite of offerings is currently available in just a few select states, Erin plans to expand so she can serve more people. On this episode of Divorce, Healthy! host Ashley-Nicole sits down with Erin to discuss how Hello Divorce is driving change and creating space for more comfortable divorces.  Tune in to this episode of Divorce, Healthy! with Ashley-Nicole Russell, Collaborative Attorney serving Beaufort, Raleigh, and Greenville, NC.

Join us for a discussion about the lack of access to justice that currently exists and what we're both trying to do to solve it.Erin's current projects include raising her two daughters, Zoe and Mia, along with managing the national roll out of Hello Divorce's products and services. You can find her on social media @hellodivorce.Both Jill and Erin have similar goals in closing the access to justice gap for people trying to get divorced. They felt stuck because they could only help the one on a day-to-day basis with their clients. We were both frustrated with how expensive getting divorced was, and how hard it was for normal people to navigate the legalities of divorce and get quality divorce documents drafted.80% of divorces in the US have at least 1 party who does not have an attorney. They are trying to navigate one of the most complex contracts we will ever enter into—a marriage contract. Divorce decrees are one of the most complicated legal documents, so to do that alone is unfathomable.Let's change the conversation around divorce. No one gets married thinking they will get divorced, but it can also be exactly what we need to move forward. We don't need to shy around the word or topic of divorce.A big issue we've faced as divorce attorneys is fixing bad decrees. When people try to create their own with no divorce experience or legal background, or are following bad or general advice from the internet, you often end up with a bad divorce decree that won't be able to be correctly interpreted down the road when issues arise. Erin has created an online platform and structure for people to get the help and support they need to get through the legalities of divorce. Jill has created the technology for quality divorce decrees to be drafted, based on your circumstances. So we're trying to help people get quality divorce decrees, without the expensive retained attorney, in the first place so you don't have to go to court later.Law is one of the last industries to be disrupted by technology. We know what the client needs, so why wouldn't we as attorneys embrace technology and create quality ways for people to get quality divorce decrees. We still recommend consulting with an attorney initially. But then you can go do it yourself using some new tools like Hello Divorce and SimpleEnding. There are options! Not everyone needs to retain a lawyer. Divorce forms are in legalese and complicated. A lot of online services or resources out there aren't actually helping you fill those out but just letting you download blank forms or auto-generating blanket forms. If you try to take those general or poorly written decrees to court later on when you're trying to get your ex to follow something, the court won't be able to help you because the language is too ambiguous or broad. We're trying to provide a more quality alternative that is specific and uses attorney experience and language so that the court can actually help you get sanctions on your ex or get orders to be carried out legally. And it's much less expensive than retaining an attorney.Laws are different in each state. So you have to work with an attorney in your specific state, or the technology has to work for each individual state. You need help understanding the forms and wording but also the local laws and procedures. There's been exciting strides the past few years in legal technology, but we're probably still years or decades away from where we need to go. The system has been built to protect attorneys' careers and ability to earn money instead of focusing on the needs of the consumer. Consumers are pushing for change. Billable hours don't work for the majority of cases.

We all know the power of technology to help us deliver our product, but creating a (mostly) automated legal tech product requires nuanced development and critical thinking about our clients' needs. Erin Levine of Levine Family Law and creator of Hello Divorce, discusses the process she went through creating her automated collaborative divorce platform. Now, we're not all going to make our own digital legal product, but we can learn a lot about our own processes from this chat - balancing tech and human elements, building trust, our role as experts, honing your leads, SEO, and the future of the legal landscape.

Our Valentine's gift to you,  a brand new ebook, Five Essentials To Win At Divorce. Ebook >> http://bit.ly/31h14ot Welcome to the Hello Divorce podcast, I'm your host, Erin Levine. I'm super excited to share with you my top insider tips for divorce - including actionable steps in bite-sized pieces to lowering the cost, conflict, and confusion surrounding your divorce so that you can move on to that next awesome chapter. Hi. Today's topic has to do with a gift I have for you - a new ebook that we are offering at no cost. As most of you know, through Hello Divorce, we have so much content – all curated – some written and designed by me and my team at HD and Levine Family Law Group – and then we also pull in the experts to contribute. Experts in everything from financial planning to negotiation and life coaching b/c after all – lawyers are just one piece of a big divorce puzzle. The one thing that I felt we were missing was a comprehensive ebook. I hesitated to design one because I wanted it to be really meaningful – and do what I wanted it to do – which is to give you the tools you need to get your divorce off to the best start possible. More on that in a second. Then the other day, I was speaking to a colleague about her divorce. She wanted a second opinion which I always think is a good idea but at the same time – we have to be so careful because when speaking to someone about their case – you are only getting a very small snippet of the divorce – and hearing it from the client's experience. Anyhow, she started to tell me about her divorce and man, it was ugly - throughout each step of the way, it was just hurting my heart so much to realize that had we been her guide from the beginning – things could have been so different. I mean, we likely wouldn't have been able to change what her ex did – how he behaved or the choices he made – but we could have helped shape her experience – and as you know, mindset – well, that's everything. Life can be spinning out of control and if you trust your path and have the resources and support you need, you can turn that obstacle – that saga – that struggle into a  breakthrough. There's an opportunity in there to change your course and we want to find that – and put our focus there, not on the actions or (in)actions of your ex. I know – it might feel like I'm simplifying things or that I'm overly optimistic or what's the word you're thinking of? Maybe “shut the f- up and get with reality.” Ok, I know. I am oversimplifying. When you are in a traumatic divorce or breakup that breakthrough doesn't just show up and say ‘hi, everything is going to be ok now. You are stronger than ever and you're life is going to be sunshine and rainbows.” But, I'm not talking about a particular moment in time. There are times in a heated, contested divorce that all you can find time and energy to do is prepare your strategy – where you have exposure and where you have leverage – and live in that. But overall, if you have the information and understanding you need about the divorce process – about where things are heading and how to get there – you will feel some peace of mind. You will make space to rise from this crappy experience. And you will feel in control – which let's face it, feeling out of control is the worst feeling ever – feeling like you don't know what's going on and you don't know how to change it or respond to it, is just awful.
