Divorce Isn't the Worst Thing That Will Ever Happen | S2, Ep. 31
After 30+ years as a divorce lawyer - and having been divorced herself - acclaimed attorney Susan Guthrie saw there was a better way to get divorced, rather than going through the old-school litigation process. She admits she fell into all the traps that everyone does, even though she had been telling clients for years what to do and what not to do! This eye-opening episode pulls back the curtain on the personal process of divorce, as well as how you can best manage your own process to avoid the pitfalls and come to a satisfactory outcome for everyone involved.
