Today's episode is about one of the toughest challenges some dads face—navigating a high-conflict divorce and co-parenting with a toxic ex. If you’ve ever felt like the legal system is stacked against you or that you’re losing control over your relationship with your kids, this conversation is for you.
We’re joined by Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There Got Out, a high-conflict divorce strategist and certified domestic violence advocate. After going through a brutal legal battle herself, Lisa represented herself in court and won a case that is now being used as legal precedent. She also played a key role in passing Jennifer’s Law, which expands the legal definition of domestic violence to include coercive control.
She and her partner, Chris, help parents in custody battles, co-parenting nightmares, and legal abuse situations. Her book, Been There Got Out: Toxic Relationships, High-Conflict Divorce, and How to Stay Sane Under Insane Circumstances, is a must-read for anyone dealing with a difficult ex.
For those who need guidance, coaching, or legal strategies, where can they connect with you?
