Lives entwined are as complex as any machine. This week on the show, Seth Nelson and Pete Wright talk about how to navigate separating parts of your lives together that are incredibly complex, with a hypothetical courtroom exercise that will help you clearly understand your lawyer’s objective in supporting you in your divorce.What are your objectives in the divorce process and why is it so important for you to be fully-engaged all along the way? What is evidence, and how does it work in your situation? What does the judge know of your case and what factors influence the judge’s perspective? Finally, how does your ability to work with your former spouse and counsel impact a positive outcome?
