Show Notes
There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about family law, and in this special Mythbusters episode, Alex and Liza take on some of the biggest myths surrounding separation and divorce. From dodgy advice at the pub to outdated beliefs, they set the record straight on what really happens in family law. In this episode, Alex and Liza bust myths like: "The court always favours the mother (or father) in custody battles." "Infidelity affects property settlements—cheaters get less!" "Binding Financial Agreements (pre-nups) are useless." "You don’t need a lawyer—DIY divorce is easy and saves money!" "Taking your ex to court is just legal bullying." They also explore the realities of family violence allegations, how courts approach financial abuse, and why some lawyers (but not all!) might be more interested in racking up fees than resolving your case. If you've ever heard conflicting advice about family law, this episode is here to set the record straight! 🎧 Tune in now and get the facts from two experienced family lawyers.
