Show Notes

In Part 2 of this deep dive into Property Settlements, Alex and Liza explore the cases that drag on... and on… and on. From high-conflict couples and judicial missteps to multi-jurisdictional property battles and sham trusts, this episode is a guided tour of what not to do if you want to settle your property dispute efficiently. Topics include: The real timeline of a property case (hint: it's rarely 9 months) The infamous Stanford v Stanford and why courts ask: “Should we even divide anything?” Bevan v Bevan and Liza’s own jaw-dropping 26-year delay story What happens when one party hides money, moves assets, or just refuses to cooperate Why family trusts, forensic accountants, and third-party players can blow things up The hidden cost of delays: financially, emotionally, and legally When a judge gets it wrong, and what that means for your case If you're wondering why your matter isn’t moving—or want to avoid becoming a cautionary tale—this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now for the courtroom chaos, lawyer banter, and the lessons you can actually use.
