In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by Leading Divorce Attorney and Best-Selling Author (and Susan's Work BFF!), Gabrielle Hartley, to talk about the BEST THING to happen to Divorce in ages: Online Divorce Mediation.

With the advent of Covid, many court systems around the country (and the world) are effectively closed or operating only on an emergency basis, and in most cases, they don't consider your divorce an emergency! This can affect divorcing couples in many ways; if they are thinking of divorce, they often can't file and even when they do, they can't get into court. For ongoing cases, couples can't get court dates for hearings or trials so are on indefinite hold, and for those who are done but need help due to changes that have occured, as they have for so many during Covid with job loss and health issues, they also struggle to get a court date. Even as some courts open for limited business, the backlog of cases that has been building for months, will take years, if not decades, to subside. It's just one long, never-ending DIVORCE LIMBO!

So what is a couple to do? One of the best (and only) options for many is online divorce mediation and it's a great option! Both Susan and Gabrielle have been conducting mediations online with couples for years, long before Covid made the practice popular. There are many reasons, beyond social distancing and safety, that make online mediation particularly well-suited for divorce cases. This conversation between two of the top online divorce mediators in the country will enlighten you and show you how you can mediate online and move through your divorce and BEYOND!

Some MORE Highlights from the Episode:

  • Find out what the mediation process looks like online.
  • Hear why not having to sit in the same room with your spouse can be so helpful to the process.
  • Discover why online mediation is often even faster and easier than in-person mediation.
  • Learn about Gabrielle's innovative online mediation blitz, her Positive Divorce approach and how you can learn to be Better Apart with her book and program!

There are just so many benefits to mediating your divorce online, listen to this episode and get your life out of LIMBO!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Gabrielle Hartley Esq., is a leading divorce attorney, online mediator and creator of The Better Apart Method. She's known for keeping 99% of her cases at the negotiation table and out of the courtroom. Her Book, Better Apart; The Radically Positive Way to Separate was given a glowing endorsement from Gwyneth Paltrow, and People Magazine. Gabrielle is a sought after divorce expert in the media and has been quoted in the New York TImes, Psychology Today, Vice, Thrive Global, and Yoga Journal to name a few. PLUS she's a regular guest on NBC talking about all things related to what Gabrielle terms, The Positive Divorce Movement.

The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. - Busting Divorce Myths Mini-Episode #5: In Divorce There’s Always a Bad Guy on Divorce & Beyond
play

07/07/23 • 16 min

This week on Divorce and Beyond, as we celebrate America's Independence, Susan has created a week-long series of mini-episodes where she will be busting the Top 5 Divorce Myths for you so that you can celebrate your freedom from their misleading and harmful assumptions!

Myth #5: If a Divorce Is Happening, Then Someone Did Something Wrong

Debunking the Blame Game in Divorce – Myth Busting Series Finale with Susan

Does divorce always imply guilt? Must there always be a 'bad guy' for a relationship to end? In the grand finale of our special Divorce Myth Busting series, our host Susan invites you to rethink the narrative around this life-altering decision.

In this episode, Susan disentangles the misconceptions that surround the reasons for divorce, setting the record straight on 'fault' versus 'no-fault' grounds and explaining why 'irreconcilable differences' is more than just a legal catchphrase.

Divorce can be a difficult topic to navigate, and it's not always about finding fault. Join Susan as she navigates through the complex terrain of divorce laws and uncovers the truth that lays hidden behind societal assumptions. This episode is not just about busting myths; it's about understanding that endings can sometimes be new beginnings.

Unravel the truth and rethink divorce with Susan. Because not all endings are failures, and every story has more than one side.

Catch the finale episode of our Divorce Myth Busting series – for a perspective shift you won't want to miss!

November is Military Family Appreciation Month and in this week's episode Susan Guthrie speaks with Kristina Kaiser, who shares her insights into the challenges faced by the families of our military members, as well as some of the difficulties that can arise when facing divorce within a military family.

We often remember to honor those who serve, and rightly so, but the family members, especially the spouses of our active military members also make sacrafices in the name of our country and deserve our thanks as well.  In honor of Military Family Appreciation Month, Kristina Kaiser, herself the former wife for almost 30 years of a Marine officer, gives an insider view into the many ways that our military families give of themselves, often to their detriment, while a family member is in active service.  Facing many moves and relocations, job limitations, unpaid volunteer work expectancies, co-parenting alone and more, the spouses and children of military personnel also can be affected by the military life.  Beyond that, divorce can be extra complicated when an active or former member of the military is involved.  The pensions, benefits and more that are one of the highlights of military careers are limited in some ways in being divided during the divorce process and the non-military spouse may end up receiving less than the might have if they were not dealing with military benefits.  Whether you are a member of the military, a military family member or one of those who owe themour thanks, this episode is a wonderful reminder of all they sacrifice for their country and why those thanks are deserved!

IMPORTANT NOTE:  This episode is meant to honor our military families and to give a glimpse of the hardships and sacrifices that they make for out country.  We mention some of the issues that can arise in a military divorce but if you are divorcing and military benefits are at issue, it is strongly advised that you seek counsel from an attorney in your area who is well-versed in military benefit in divorce.  

 

GIVING TUESDAY is DECEMBER 1, 2020:  As mentioned by Kristina in the episode, the Tuesday following the release of this episode is Giving Tuesday.  If you would like to donate to one of the charities mentioned here are the links:

As we head into the holiday season and Black Friday shopping, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes Lisa McGregor of The Unplanned Chapter to the show! Lisa shares support and wisdom about gift-giving, your kids, and your ex this holiday season.

After divorce, there is a desire to separate lives between you and your ex. However, if you are co-parenting, you and your ex will always be connected through your child in one way or another. So when it comes to gift-giving around the holidays or special celebrations, co-parents often struggle with helping their child buy a gift for the other parent. When it comes down to it, it's not about you, it's about your child and Lisa knows from personal experience.

Lisa McGregor joins Susan Guthrie for a conversation about how to help your children purchase a gift for the other parent in their lives; even if the other parent: doesn’t help your child/children get a gift for you or refuses to accept anything from you.

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise.

Topics and Golden Nuggets include

  • Gift-giving for a co-parent is not about you. It’s about your child and helping them show their love and foster a relationship with a co-parent.
  • Some of the “Yeah, but’s” co-parents struggle when it comes to gift-giving
  • The subtle nuances of helping your children celebrate their other parent and/or honor their choice to forgo giving a gift
  • Share what you are doing with your kids this holiday season and use the hashtag #Gettingthegift
  • On gift-giving: “The biggest payout of all is seeing the joy in your child’s eyes. Allow that to be the drive to do it again in the future. ”

This episode is a reminder that gift-giving is not about you. It’s always about your child. Give your child permission to celebrate with their parent and help them in whatever way you can!

About this week's special guest: Lisa McGregor

Lisa McGregor is Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part-time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise. The first 17 years of her career were spent in the fitness industry, but after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she was able to embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift. Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their own co parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more. Lisa has shared her story on several podcasts & across multiple social media platforms and helps women put it all into action as a Life & Hypno Breath Work Coach.

More About Our Special Guest, Lisa McGregor: Lisa McGregor is a Co-Parenting Coach who is helping women to embrace their new role of part-time parenting. For nearly two decades, Lisa has been motivating women to help them improve their lives by learning to love their bodies through diet and exercise. The first 17 years of her career were spent in the fitness industry, but after going through a divorce in 2017 and struggling to accept this unplanned chapter of part-time parenting, she felt called to show how she was able to embrace this journey and began to see this adjustment as a gift. Lisa quickly garnered a community of women who resonated and were ready to use their co-parenting journey as a catalyst to a richer life. Lisa empowers Moms to leverage their time away to turn less into more. Lisa has shared her story on several podcasts & across multiple social media platforms and helps women put it all into action as a Life & Hypno Breath Work Coach.
