The Legal Process, especially in a divorce or family law action, is frustrating.  There is no question about it.  This leaves you with two options.  You can either choose to continue to be miserable and frustrated.  Or, you can learn about the process, change your mindset, and do something about it so that you can get through your divorce with considerably less headache.  In this episode, Todd and Leh explore some of the more common frustrations that come out of a divorce and how to handle them.  Some of the questions we explore are why the process takes so long, what is the purpose of discovery and how best to deal with it, how to handle that feeling that "the other side is winning," and what you can do to work towards a settlement rather than experience the cost and emotional trauma a trial can bring.  While the show does specifically address divorce, it is also applicable to child custody cases and support modification actions.

We have been fortunate to have a radio show on the air for nearly a year now, sharing important information with those who need it.  In September of this year, we were honored with the opportunity to move our radio show to NewsRadio 106.7 FM.  For our first show on the new station, we tried something a little different.  With a little dramatic flair, we discuss hypothetical situations based on past experiences.  We address what to do when a spouse has been completely blindsided by a divorce.  How do you handle yourself when your spouse takes drastic measures to start a case?  What do you do when your spouse has taken steps designed to leave you without any money (or even food) to deal with the divorce.  How do you get through something like that?  Leh and Todd dive right into these situations and explain how someone can overcome these challenges.
