Dr. Margaret Price and Thomas Henley discuss divorce, parenthood, and family court through an autism-focused lens; a raw, vital talk on support, stigma, and systemic failure.Thomas's Links: https://linktr.ee/thomashenleyUK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pegi's Book: https://uk.jkp.com/collections/author-margaret-pegi-price-pid-204569Code HENLEY25 : https://neurodivergentinsights.com/neurodivergent-store/We discuss the challenges faced by families with autistic children in the context of family law. Pegi shares her personal journey as a single parent of an autistic child and critiques traditional legal frameworks that inadequately address the unique needs of these families. She advocates for customised legal solutions, crisis planning, and systemic changes to better support special needs families. The episode emphasises the need for specialised legal considerations and a cultural shift to foster understanding and support for children with autism.In this episode, we discuss:• The difference between typical and special needs family law: why the old playbook often falls short.• Court-approved parenting plans and how they often miss the mark for families with an autistic child.• Crisis planning lessons from COVID-19 school closures: what happens when support systems suddenly vanish.• Labelling and stigma: how institutional bias shows up in court and what it means for our kids.• The importance of individualised support, realistic respite care, and financial planning for special needs.• Raising awareness in law, policy, and everyday life: change happens when we all get informed.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The power struggle of "who goes first" in divorce negotiations costs couples thousands in unnecessary legal fees and months of emotional turmoil. Tracy and Debra dive deep into why this hesitation happens and how divorce professionals can effectively guide clients past this common roadblock.At the heart of settlement hesitation lies a fascinating cocktail of psychological factors. Many clients fear anchoring too low, worried that their first offer becomes the ceiling rather than the floor for negotiations. Others simply aren't emotionally ready to take steps that make their divorce feel more real and final. Information gaps create legitimate concerns about making uninformed decisions, while strategic positioning—the belief that making the first move reveals weakness—can transform negotiations into costly standoffs where the refusal to engage becomes more important than resolution itself.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical framework Tracy and Debra provide for helping clients reframe their thinking. Rather than viewing the first offer as vulnerability, they demonstrate how it represents an opportunity to control the narrative and set the agenda. Through visualization exercises, core value identification, and distinguishing between sufficient versus perfect information, coaches can transform client paralysis into empowered decision-making.Whether you're working with clients who fear appearing desperate, those waiting for external validation, or individuals paralyzed by potential regret, this episode offers tailored strategies to break the settlement standoff and move the divorce process forward.What approaches have you found effective in helping clients overcome their hesitation to make settlement offers?

Co-Host Judith Kaluzny (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/judith) Plenty of us as men have not only had our run-ins with what's commonly known as the family law system, we feel as if we've been thoroughly shafted by it. Well, my guest is a retired divorce lawyer and mediator who is out to overthrow the family law system as we know it. Judith Kaluzny is the author of two books, Marriage License Handbook: Rules Of The Road For Getting Married and her upcoming one The American Way of Divorce: A Fraud on Families. Basically, Judith says we need to quit the systems designed with an adversary process as the default, and start over with a mediation system. She says that's because the divorce industry profits at the expense of the wife, husband and especially the children. The costs are financial, emotional and, for young children, developmental. So then, what are the pros and cons of mediating a divorce vs. litigating? What should marital property rules be? Should there be a marriage contract, like we see routinely in business? How does domestic violence factor in? As far as children go, Judith has seven (!) and believes strongly in 'parenting plans' instead of custody battles. What should a relational agreement with a woman look like? And finally, what I think is the centerpiece of her overall position, her argument for post-nuptial agreements rather than simply pre-nups.

When the dust settles after divorce, what comes next for men who are left feeling lost, ashamed, or angry? In this episode, Jaime Davis sits down with Marc Azoulay, a licensed psychotherapist and founder of Men's Therapy Online, to explore the often-overlooked emotional fallout of divorce for men. Marc shares the two most common archetypes he sees in his work—“the villain” and “the victim”—and explains how early childhood conditioning, societal expectations, and emotional isolation shape men's post-divorce struggles.Together, Jaime and Marc discuss why some men default to “nice guy” behavior, why communication breakdowns are so common, and how therapy, community, and honest self-reflection can lead to genuine healing.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert discuss critical estate planning considerations during divorce proceedings. They explore what happens if someone becomes incapacitated or dies while their divorce is still pending, revealing potentially unwelcome consequences if proper planning isn't in place. The discussion highlights how existing estate plans typically name a spouse as the primary decision-maker and beneficiary—a designation most divorcing individuals would want to change immediately. Without written estate plans, the situation becomes even more complicated, potentially requiring expensive and contentious conservatorship proceedings for incapacity or following intestacy laws upon death that would likely favor the soon-to-be ex-spouse. This episode, part one of a two-part series, emphasizes that you remain legally married until a judge finalizes your divorce, meaning all existing estate planning designations remain in effect unless proactively changed.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:10 What happens if you become incapacitated during divorce with a written estate plan 2:52 The consequences of becoming incapacitated without a written estate plan during divorce 3:28 Brief explanation of the conservatorship process and why it should be avoided 5:03 What happens if you die before your divorce is finalized 5:12 Death without a written estate plan during divorce: intestacy and its complications 6:29 How existing written estate plans remain in effect until the divorce is finalized 6:48 The bottom line: You remain legally married until a judge says otherwise

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe and associate attorney Jessica Colbert continue their discussion on estate planning during divorce proceedings with practical solutions. Following their previous episode on the potential problems that can arise if someone becomes incapacitated or dies during divorce, they now focus on preventative measures. The attorneys explain how to ensure your soon-to-be ex-spouse doesn't maintain control over your healthcare decisions or inherit your assets contrary to your wishes. They discuss the creation of new healthcare directives, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts—all while navigating the automatic temporary restraining orders (ATROs) that restrict asset transfers during divorce. This episode, part two of their divorce series, provides clear guidance on proper timing of estate planning updates during divorce to protect yourself legally before the process is finalized.   Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 2:03 How to avoid having your spouse be responsible for you if incapacitated 2:26 Next, Kirsten and Jessica discuss options for those who have never created estate planning documents 2:48 What should you do if you already have documents naming your spouse? 3:16 Now, let's talk about how to prevent your spouse from inheriting if you die before the divorce is final 5:23 What are the next steps for clients who already have a joint trust with their spouse? 6:07 Let's clarify the importance of following trust-specific revocation methods and requirements during divorce 7:44 Finally, listen as Kirsten and Jessica talk about why accepting potential probate may be necessary and worth it

Minnesota Attorney Shelley Torvinen finally found us in the big city (Chicago) after a  long drive to our virtual studio*.  With a promise of hot chocolate and plenty of encouragement, we coaxed her from her car, walked her through our weed-strewn parking lot, and down the stairs past a creaky iron door, to a rusty office chair.  We cleared away a pile of spiders and dust, gave her a seat at the table with us, and then applied our usual psychological pressure.  In this Episode 44, recorded on March 12, 2025 by the light of a Coleman gas lantern and between bites of Norwegian lutefisk (in honor of our Minnesota guest,) Shelley did not wilt under our interrogation.  It's clear that Shelley, despite laboring in the trenches for over 30 years, has not lost her enthusiasm and compassion for the practice of family law.  We spent an hour jabbering about situations, stories, hints and creative ideas -- and family law and procedures in three states (Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.)   Hopefully, our non-lawyer listeners will find our wide-ranging discussion to be useful and helpful!Attorney Shelley Torvinen practices in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, handling family-law cases in courtrooms and courthouses big and small, far and wide.  To schedule a consultation, and maybe be treated to hot chocolate and lutefisk, visit her website at www.wiscotalm.com or call her at (218) 625-2239.                     ==================About the hosts of 'Dynamite Divorce and Other Matters," a project spanning over four years:Chicago Lawyers Marjie Nielsen, Barry C.

It is important to practice law while staying true and accountable to yourself, especially if something goes against your better judgement or ethical standards.Tarl provides some insights on the best strategies to grow as an attorney and a firm. Tarl advises attorneys and small firms alike to be careful who they connect with and to know their worth. It is important to not be shortsighted in your future.
