Joining me this week is Seth Nelson, family lawyer and host of
the podcast, How to Split a Toaster. He is going to help us break
down divorce law in the United States - because not only can it be
overwhelming, it can be confusing, and frustrating. The good news
is that there are some universal truths to divorce law that can
help you maneuver through the court system and work with your
lawyer with ease.
After law school, Seth found that he could do the greatest good by
helping people through one of the most difficult times of their
lives - divorce. Being a divorcee himself, as well as a
father, he understands what you’re going through. I am thrilled to
welcome him to the show.
