Divorce and Custody — How to Make Better Decisions When Stakes Are High (Rachel King)
Description
This conversation is not just about divorce. I's about a deeper question: How do people make decisions when the stakes are high, emotions are involved, and the consequences are difficult to reverse?
My guest is Rachel King, an attorney who specialized in handling high-conflict divorce and child custody cases. She calls herself the King of litigation. She has 10 years of experience as the lead litigation attorney in family law. When she was twenty-one, she had a child, and after that, as a single mother, put herself through college and Law school.
In this conversation:
- Why, when possible, it's best to keep it out of court.
- Best practices and ways to keep your case out of court.
- Is it always necessary to hire a lawyer?
- If you need an attorney, how to find a good one
- How to represent yourself in court.
- How to handle court proceedings.
- Legal stories about the best and worst things she has seen
- California specific laws & strategies
