A Podcast - by AJ Jakubowska, Family Law Lawyer, Family Mediator & Parenting Coordinator - about staying sane when relationships end.
I am AJ Jakubowska - family law lawyer and mediator. I am also human - I understand what can happen when relationships end. Lots of uncertainty, many different emotions, lots of questions. Sometimes it can feel virtually impossible to stay sane. Pressure. Concern. Cost.
This podcast features my comments on various topics related to separation, and my interviews with other humans who help when relationships end – people who look after legal issues, who mediate, who look after hearts and minds, as well as finances. People who could help you plan your future. What you will hear is NOT legal advice. These are dialogues primarily about the human aspect of separation. We try to stay away from legal lingo. It’s humans talking to humans.
I hope that something you hear will help you navigate your way to a sane split.
Not all lawyers bill for their services the same way. Your financial relationship with your lawyer is important - you should ask as many questions about it as possible, before you hire someone. You are making a financial committment - hiring a member of your team - it’s important that you understand how that person will bill for their services, and how you will pay them - LISTEN.
