May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and mental health is a very common subject brought up in court for both divorce and custody cases...so let's talk about it!
In this episode, Julie Potts, a seasoned family law attorney from Chester County, PA, and co-host Emily discuss how mental health is (and isn't) treated in family court, why transparency with your lawyer is critical, and how addressing mental health issues can actually strengthen your case. Plus, they offer real-world advice for navigating custody battles, protecting yourself, and supporting your kids through divorce.
Whether you're new here or a longtime listener, this is the episode to understand the heart of the show — and why information is power.
