You Mad, Bro: Party of One

Dr. S is here this week with a special guest, Alexandra Cabonor, Esq. to chat about domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and Protection from Abuse (PFA) processes. First, Dr. S addresses why Dr. J has been absent from the podcast lately (SPOILER: He hasn't been on a month long vacation, unfortunately), then the ladies discuss ways the PFA system works for victims of DV and IPV, the ways people use it as a litigation tactic, as well as some resources available to If you or someone you know is experiencing DV or IPV.  Attorney Cabonor provides some great examples of who, what, where, and when you can legally get a PFA - and things to consider when getting one -and the ladies discuss the complications when someone only gets a PFA for custody or divorce litigation tactics and some of the consequences. SO! Grab your bevy of choice, press play, and get ready to level-up your co-parenting!

She earned a juris doctor degree in 2015 and was admitted to the practice of law in 2015.
