There are two divorces, the Emotional Divorce and the Legal Divorce. The Emotional Divorce comes first, and needs to be settled before the filing in Court begins.   Here's how this works…   Divorce is Emotional, during the lead-up to filing and throughout the filing. Throughout the filing there are so many decisions to make that are extremely important to get right: Custody and Co-Parenting, Child & Spousal Support, Division of Assets & Debts. These decisions cannot be made well while emotional. The question becomes, “Can the emotion be diminished or controlled that become the backdrop to decision-making, and that can be the reason for bad decision-making?” The answer is, “Yes!”   In this episode you will learn more about the Emotional Divorce and its significance in your divorce experience if you would like the best outcome possible for your entire family. Judith will give you real life examples of what to do and what not to do in a variety of situations from making a mutual decision to divorce, to being surprised by being served with divorce papers, to having lawyers involved in representation.   #emotions #grieving #co-parenting #court #griefprocess #mediation #podcast #divorcepodcast #amicabledivorce #personalitydisorders #divorcinganarcissist #GoodKarmaDivorce #JudgeMicheleLowrance #therapy #alimony #spousalsupport #childsupport #detachment #settlement

You will learn how gender identity affects the divorce in the following ways:   Children have a transition to make to accept the nuances of gender switches with a parent Male to female didn’t want his children calling him Obligation of the parent to make sure the child is protected through this process   Transitioning genders is sensitive and justifiably selfish, but with consequences of attachment to the children   The variety of examples of gender identity is cross-dressing, transgenderism, nonbinary, bisexual   Religion in a gender identity divorce is an issue   Full disclosure isn’t always given to all relatives for a while   Family therapy can help, especially in a co-parenting relationship   Mediation is a better route to go in gender identity cases because of the potential biases of the Judge assigned to the case   Adoption can be affected in a same sex or alternative sex marriage   Changing the language on forms regarding gender identification has started for the adults and children   Co-parenting can be affected if one parent cannot accept the transition of the other parent in co-parenting time   The importance of pausing the legal divorce until the emotions of the parents and the family are settled   #gender #transgender #nonbinary #transsexual #heterosexual #homosexual #gendenridentity #divorce #gay #straight #gendercomplexities #coparenting #mediation #trial #JudgesBias #courtorder #GregLake #MeganSpomer #podcast #divorcepodcast #amicabledivorce   Biographies   Meagan Spomer, Esq. of Nebraska Legal Group was a prosecutor for Douglas County Child Support Enforcement. It was there that she not only gained invaluable and extensive trial experience, she also saw how wrong things can go in family law cases. Having seen the worst, Megan is committed to providing the very best representations for her clients.   Meagan co-founded the Nebraska Family Law Organization, an organization focused on increasing students’ interest in family law, as well as connecting established attorneys with law students. The organization has succeeded in bringing mentoring to students and attracting quality young lawyers to the practice of divorce and family law.     Greg Lake, Esq. of Nebraska Legal Group focuses his practice on matters with contested custody, complex financial inquiries, and unique legal questions which arise throughout divorce and custody proceedings. Greg has two young children of his own and understands the challenges that parents face when they are suddenly faced with the fact that they will not be able to see their children daily, must begin budgeting on a single income, or the many other challenges which may arise during a custody proceeding. Greg’s passion for family extends beyond the Courtroom as he volunteered to coach his son’s soccer team where he teaches teamwork, discipline, and patience. When not coaching, Greg and his family spend time putting together puzzles, going to the Zoo, and watching Husker games. Greg applies the same principles of teamwork, discipline, and patience to the practice of law which assists clients in making the best decisions for their case. Greg excels in simplifying the complex legal questions not only for his clients but the Court as well. Taken together, these fundamentals help client’s in making decisions that will impact their financial future, and most importantly, their future with children.

Everybody struggles with having a career and raising a family. Either one spouse works and the other raises the family. Or both spouses work and one person raises the family. It’s a rare family in which both parents work and both contribute equally to raising the family.   Aspects to a Relationship that Make it Strong: Mutual Commitment to a Goal of Raising a Family Sharing Family Duties Career: Two-career household with One Career more public than the other career, essentially creating the appearance that one career was more important or made more money If they both had careers, it appeared that Gisele spent more time raising the children. Why? Since she made more money than Tom.   I want to talk about the energy people bring to the marriage, and the energy people use in the divorce. I’m using the relationship of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen to show that their energy was united until Tom reneged on retirement, and Giselle stopped showing up for the games, resulting in a losing season so far for Tom Brady.   When Tom and Giselle met, Giselle was wealthier than Tom, and still is, accumulating her wealth as a successful supermodel, starting as a Victoria’s secret runway Angel. She was making more money than Tom. Then Tom’s career started to take off, and the deal apparently was that Giselle would be a stay-at-home mom and Tom would be the breadwinner. Giselle was at every game with the growing family. As Tom approached 45 years of age, I believe I read that Tom was going to stay home and invest more time in raising the two children. When Tom unretired the shit hit the fan. Giselle stopped coming to Tom’s games and Tom has not been winning. I mean he lost tot the Pittsburgh Steelers, my team, last week. That’s pretty bad.   I’m doing a speech on Presenteeism for corporate America, a term used to describe people being at work but unproductive due to emotional pain. The title of the speech is Driven to Distraction. I think this applies to Tom Brady and his unproductive season so far.   My point is that there was an energy that helped fuel Tom’s performance on the field with Giselle at the games. They were a team, too. It seems that when that team disbanded, it affected his other team, the football team.   #tombrady #giselebundchen #commitment #marriage #energy #relationship #parenting #familyduties #family #career #divorce #teamwork #podcast #divorcepodcast #happiness

Biography   Wendy Tamis Robbins is an attorney in Boston, an Anxiety Coach, Author of The Box, Speaker, and host of the Perfectly Panicked podcast.   Wendy has suffered from anxiety and panic attacks all her life. Part of this mental health condition came from her upbringing and part her own issue with authentically expressing herself. As her first marriage ended, Wendy started getting in touch with the reasons for anxiety and panic, and set about changing her life.   She wrote The Box to metaphorically express how she felt in terms of limiting her vulnerability by being less than authentic. Wendy broke out of the imaginary box she put herself in to protect and shield her from the world. The Box is a book that represents Wendy’s freedom from anxiety.   Wendy also provides workshops to help others get out of their self-imposed boxes, address and deal with anxiety and panic attacks, and live an authentic life full of joy.   Facebook: wendytamisrobbinsthebox.com IG: wendy_tamis_robbins/ LinkedIn: wendy-tamis-robbins-bg806g1b8/ Twitter: WTRobbins You Tube: UCYicry8lg7dZDVmnWBHLfJg
