Jennifer is the owner of Hargrave Family Law . She helps good people end broken marriages. When facing divorce, people need to know they have options. Divorce does not have to end in disaster. The best divorces are ones where both partners are empowered to make decisions - not where fear is the operating force. Building a business is very similar.

Fair Play with Eve Rodsky
Maximum Mom
06/28/21 • 49 min
This week on Maximum Mom your host Elise Buie joins Eve Rodsky as they discuss Fair Play, Unicorn Space and everything in between.
Eve Rodsky is working to change society one partnership at a time by coming up with a new 21st century solution to an age-old problem: women shouldering the brunt of childrearing and domestic life responsibilities regardless of whether they work outside the home.
In her New York Times bestselling book FAIR PLAY, she uses her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to create a life-management system to help couples both rebalance all of the work it takes to run a home and reimagine their relationship, time and purpose.
Eve Rodsky received her B.A. in economics and anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. After working in foundation management at J.P. Morgan, she founded the Philanthropy Advisory Group to advise high-net worth families and charitable foundations on best practices for harmonious operations, governance and disposition of funds. In her work with hundreds of families over a decade, she realized that her expertise in family mediation, strategy, and organizational management could be applied to a problem closer to home – a system for couples seeking balance, efficiency, and peace in their home. Rodsky was born and raised by a single mom in New York City and now lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their three children.
