Hey friends, this one’s for all the hardworking parents out there trying to figure out how to juggle a busy career and the emotional rollercoaster of divorce and custody.

Let’s be real: divorce is tough enough, but when you’re the breadwinner, it can feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions.

You’ve poured a lot into your career—long hours, late nights, sacrificed weekends—and now you’re asking, “Is all of that going to work against me when it comes to custody of my kids?”

This week, we’re tackling the real struggles of balancing work and family during a divorce. I’m breaking it down in plain English, including what the courts actually look for in custody cases and how to set yourself up for success—while staying connected to your kids.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

• How to build trust with your kids, your co-parent, and the court.
• Joint custody, sole custody and physical custody - what do these terms really mean and how do they affect you?
• “Status quo” in custody cases (and why it’s a big deal).
• Parenting plans that actually work for you and your kids.
• Why staying close to your kids’ primary residence could make or break your case for more parenting time.
• How tech tools can help you stay connected, even when work takes you away.
• The lowdown on mediation vs. court battles, and how mediation can save you time, money, and stress (while keeping the focus on your family’s best interests).

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the tug-of-war between work, divorce court, and quality time with your kids, this episode is your realistic guide to getting through it.

Hosted by Kelly A. Bennett, Esq., a family law attorney and mediator with over 30 years of experience in the family law trenches.
