In this important episode of The Modern Arizona Podcast, attorney Billie Tarascio sits down with family law attorney and licensed therapist Maleah Woodward to discuss a crucial topic: navigating divorce and family court when autism is part of the equation.
Maleah brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to the conversation—as a former CASA, adoptive mother to two autistic children, and an attorney dedicated to helping neurodivergent clients feel empowered and understood during one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Together, Billie and Maleah explore:
The unique challenges autistic parents and children face in family court
How to prepare autistic clients for the witness stand
Building trust between attorney and client to enhance communication and advocacy
The importance of educating judges and the legal system about autism
Strategies to avoid litigation when possible—and how to show up confidently when court is unavoidable
This episode is a must-watch for anyone involved in divorce or custody matters where autism is a factor. Whether you’re a parent, co-parent, caregiver, or legal professional, you’ll walk away with valuable insights and actionable guidance.
