This is Not Legal Advice
A Podcast Offering Practical Advice About Divorce
People should never enter divorce unprepared. Anyone considering divorce should know what issues to expect and have a plan to make a positive transition.
Leigh Daniel Family Law is pleased to co-host “This Is Not Legal Advice,” a podcast providing practical advice to people about the many issues that arise before, during, and after separation and divorce.
In each 20- to 30-minute episode, attorney Leigh Daniel, Advocate of Positive Change, and relationship and communication coach Allison Reiner (www.AllisonReiner.com) tackle timely topics such as divorce planning 101, creating a post-separation household budget, staying sane during the pandemic, seeking revenge after being hurt, gray divorce, and how to react if you find out that your partner is cheating on you.
If you are hurt by a cheating spouse, should you give in to the impulse to seek revenge? Revenge may feel empowering initially, but the question is will acting on your anger and living those negative emotions adversely affect your life, too? It may be tempting to describe in detail your spouse’s misbehavior to your children so the children know what really happened to the marriage. But have you considered the harm to your children of alienating them from their other parent? The podcast tackles these kinds of tough questions.
Whatever the topic related to relationships and divorce, Leigh Daniel and Allison Reiner try to empower listeners and help those going through life’s difficult transitions seek positive change.
The reason I called the podcast “This Is Not Legal Advice” is that Allison and I work together to help you with issues before, during, and after a divorce,” Daniel says. “Between us, we have a lot of knowledge about relating. We’re here to help you with how you relate in the world and how you relate to other people

Do you recognize me?
No offense, but I’m guessing after 28 years and thousands of divorce cases, I don’t. But it could be that you had a particularly litigious case and I do recall.
