Episode 27 | The Business of Divorce | Guest: Eric Broder, Divorce & Family Law Attorney

Fortunately, I don't know much about the ins and outs of divorce. Sure, I've had a few friends get divorced for various reasons -- both good and bad -- but I would never describe myself as a divorce expert.  So when divorce came up repeatedly as topic you all wanted to hear about (no judgments here), I knew I needed to find an expert guest top break it down.  Enter Eric Broder, Divorce and Family Law Attorney for Broder, Orland, Murray & DeMattie, a Divorce and Family Law practice in Connecticut, just outside of New York City. Eric and his team manage divorce cases of all types, from high stakes divorces of high-profile Manhattanites to the everyday couple down the street. After 25 years in the business, he has seen and done it all. Not to mention, Eric is one of the good ones; he works to prioritize amicable separations where both parties and their families can move on in healthy ways. Does that always happen? Certainly not. And we talk about that, too. In fact, Eric and I cover the gamut: The things one should look for when selecting a divorce attorney Whether it's crucial to have legal representation during divorce proceedings The initial steps one should take when considering divorce The most comments reasons people have for getting divorced Whether more men or women initiate a divorce The importance of documentation in a divorce process and the kind of documents should one gather Common mistakes people make when preparing for divorce that could hurt their case The different types of divorce, how they differ, and which might be suitable for different situations Why the new year, back to school and the start of summer are the most popular times to file for divorce The significance of prenuptial agreements in divorce proceedings The factors that influence child custody decisions The ins and outs of custody agreements The role that a child's preference plays in custody decisions, e.g. for older children Want to learn more from Eric?
