In this episode, we introduce Jennifer LaVia, an expert in family law, who guides us through some of the most pressing issues surrounding divorce, child custody, and the complexities of relationships. We discuss the emotional and legal aspects of separation when children are involved, dive into the factors contributing to high divorce rates in Black families, and explore the differences between domestic partnerships and marriages. Jennifer also addresses the common belief about gender bias in family court, the evidence required for filing a divorce, and the influence of cultural upbringing on marriage and divorce. We further examine the various forms of alimony, the importance of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and the legal responsibilities of parents in child support and establishing paternity. Additionally, Jennifer offers insights into the legal options for those seeking to navigate child support obligations. Join us for a comprehensive discussion that sheds light on these critical topics.
