This one’s for the parent who’s ever whispered “am I doing this right?” into a tear-stained pillow at 2 in the morning. 

In this essential legal and emotional deep-dive, I’m joined once again by powerhouse solicitor Rebecca Baker….  the Consultant Family Law Solicitor you need on speed dial the moment everything crumbles.

Because post-divorce parenting? It’s not just about who gets the kids on Tuesday. It’s about navigating big decisions with someone who may still be triggering your nervous system.

Together, we unpack….

  • What “Parental Responsibility” really means….  legally and emotionally

  • Who gets to decide on school choices, medical treatment, holidays, and even surnames

  • What to do when your ex throws around “I’ve got rights” like a tantrum

PLUS: Rebecca shares the 3 biggest battles she sees (and how to avoid them).

⚖️ From real-life examples (think, vegan vs. steak dad debates) to court-backed realities, this episode will leave you clearer, calmer, and less likely to scream into your cereal.

This is the episode your future self (and your child) will thank you for.

With so much love,

Sarah x
