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.
In this episode of the podcast, I tackle the following, common questions about family law:
do support payments always have to go through the Family Responsibility Office?
can there be more than one matrimonial home?
at what age do children get to decide where they are going to live?
can we get a judge to speak to my child?
I made an offer to settle and the other side has not responded. Don’t they have to?
