It’s All Your Fault: High Conflict People

A High Conflict Divorce with a (rare) Successful Outcome

May 26, 2022

High conflict divorce is one the hardest trials one can go through. It’s so hard on parents and on their children. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it looks like from the inside, from someone who has been through it and come out the other side with good outcomes, listen to this episode featuring Bill and Megan’s guest, Shannon Jenkins from the podcast Starting Over with Shannon.

After hearing a bit of Shannon’s story, Bill and Megan will talk with her about:

  • these many downs and a limited number of ups in high conflict cases
  • strategies Shannon used in her own case that had positive results
  • what made the case seem high conflict to her
  • where she decided to go to get the best decisions in terms of parenting plans, finance, relocation efforts, and other major decisions (mediation, direct negotiations, court, out-of-court)
  • domestic violence and child abuse allegations, and other “distractions” and “manipulations” used in the case
  • some hopeful tips and encouragement for listeners who may be walking the path of high conflict separation, divorce and parenting/co-parenting
