Episode Details

If your ex’s attorney is loud, aggressive, or constantly stirring up drama, it’s easy to panic. Especially if your attorney is calm, measured, and quiet. You start wondering—am I losing?

In this episode, divorce coach Corey Shapiro breaks down the third divorce attorney style: The Boxer. Not flashy. Not chaotic. But steady, strategic, and ready to strike—only when it counts.

You’ll learn:

What a “Boxer” attorney looks like (and why they might seem disengaged)

Why tactical silence can be stronger than reactive noise

How to know if your attorney is playing defense—or building a quiet offense

What questions to ask if you’re unsure who’s really fighting for you

Power Line:
“You’re not losing. You’re lasting.”

Because lasting takes more strength than lashing out.

Next Steps:

Ask your attorney: Are we being tactical or just quiet?

Get clear on the plan. If they’re prepping depositions, trial outlines, or settlement proposals—they’re moving.

If they’re not? It might be time for a second opinion.

For people whose divorce has turned into a fight. You've been trying to be reasonable with someone who isn't. This podcast is a system for getting through it without losing yourself.

Every episode fits into one of three phases: Get Clear, Get Going, Get Your Life Back. Start wherever you are. Nothing is out of order.
