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.
When emotions are raw and high, interpreting communications can before problematic and even difficult. This includes digesting written communications from the other lawyer. In this episode, I illustrate how easy it is to get off track, with the aid of a hypothetical example, and offer some suggestions on how to avoid what might feel like a minefield.
