In this week’s Podcast episode, I talk with Kirsty a Lawyer, Mediator, Author and Divorce Coach about what happens when a Defence Couple decides to separate or get divorced.

Kirsty and I also talk about;

-How being a former Defence Partner herself allows her to understand the extra complexity that comes with breakdown of marriage when you are a Defence couple.

-The difference between Mediation, Collaborative law and Litigation

-Why Kirsty encourages her clients to stay out of court to not only save time and money but also their mental health

- Relocating, Consent, Child Support, Custody arrangements and Defence Life

- How a parenting agreement works with the changing nature of defence life and the unknown

-Moving past hurt, frustration and anger to make the best decisions for you and your family

-Legal Aid, Relationships Australia and the other options available to Defence Partners who don’t have access to funds

-The lack of control going through the Family Law system creates and how to avoid court and costly litigation

-Splitting assets (including super) and why being a stay at home parent or care giver is seen as a huge contribution and does not disadvantage you

-Why Kirsty wants to show people another way of proceeding with separation and divorce through her Calm and Kind method

-Kirsty’s online course The Peaceful Pathway, One on One Coaching Program and her book ‘What are We Fighting For’ and how they are helping couples take control of their separation and divorce
