Susan Guthrie welcomes Karis Nafte, Pet Custody Mediator and Certified Dog Behavior Consultant, to explore the complexities of pet custody in divorce.

With the legal landscape around pets evolving, the topic of pet custody has become increasingly relevant for divorcing couples. Karis, founder of Who Keeps the Dog?, sheds light on the unique challenges of navigating custody for your furry family members and shares insights from her new book, Who Keeps the Dog: Navigating Pet Custody During Divorce.

In this conversation, Karis explains how divorce can impact your beloved pets and provides practical strategies to ensure their well-being throughout the process.

What You'll Hear:

• Why pets are no longer treated as mere property in divorce
• How the changing legal landscape impacts pet custody decisions
• Key considerations for creating a pet custody agreement
• Tips for minimizing stress for your pets during separation

Golden Nuggets:

• “ You can't make the decision on the dog's future based on your hurt feelings or your negative emotions. You're not considering your dog. You're not seeing the situation through their eyes. And that's really hard, but you can do it. The most correct decision for the dog is there, if you dig for it.”
• “ Your dog will be fine. Dogs are so much more adaptable than we think they are. Don't imagine that your dog will be as upset as you are. I know that's hard to hear. It's harder for us than it is for dogs.”
• “ How do we look after our pets during divorce where we're really focusing on what's best for the dog? It's hard to do that when emotions do what they do in divorce.”

Exclusive Members Only Episode: Moving Out and Handling House Issues in Divorce 

In this special Members Only episode, Susan dives deep into one of the biggest and most important topics in divorce—the house. If you and your spouse share a home, whether it’s owned or rented, the decision of when to move out or how to handle the residence is a critical one, with many emotional and legal considerations.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The potential risks of moving out of a shared home during divorce—both practical and legal.
• How to protect your valuable items and important documents if you leave.
• The financial impact of maintaining two households and how it may affect your decisions.
• Considerations around children and parenting time when one spouse moves out.
• What to do if domestic violence becomes a concern.
• Legal implications and questions surrounding home ownership, including whether you can “lose” the home by moving out.
• The practicalities and legalities of changing locks or gaining exclusive possession of the marital residence.
• How to work with your mediator or attorney to come to agreements that protect your interests.

As a special bonus for listeners, this episode has fewer ad breaks and is focused entirely on giving you the actionable advice you need. 

If you’ve enjoyed this special members-only episode and found the information helpful, let me know if there are other topics you’d like to hear me talk about. Divorce is a journey, and I’m here to guide you beyond.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Intuitive Healer Holly Hughes! Listen in to hear the antidote to the Valentine’s Day blues and how to manage the unrealistic expectations of the Hallmark Holiday! 

Valentine’s Day can be hard when you are going through a divorce. In this episode, Susan Guthrie and Holly Hughes discuss tactical ways and tips to honor your feelings and not fall victim to the commercialism or beliefs of what the holiday should or needs to be about. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• Why Holly and Susan are NOT wearing red for this Valentine’s Day-focused episode
• Create your very own love note jar for YOURSELF
• Love is lost in the commercialism of Valentine’s Day, instead of love from a partner focus on things you love (your children, art, music, etc.) 
• Allow yourself to feel your feelings, wallow in them in fact. Then pull yourself out of that space and you’ll feel a sense of relief
• “In order to feel and receive love, you have to have it for yourself first.”
• Why it is so important to listen to your inner voice and start recognizing what love actually feels like for you
• Joy is love. Bring some joy into your life today

Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind.

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq., welcomes back Michelle Dempsey-Multack to discuss their thoughts on empowerment versus bashing and the impact of a victim mentality.

Michelle joins Susan for a conversation about two of today’s most notable music artists who recently released what may be referred to as “breakup songs.”  In January, Shakira released “BZRP Music Sessions #53” and Miley Cyrus released “Flowers”. Together, Susan and Michelle explore how the songs and situations may be similar in some ways but different in others and the lessons and insights that we all can learn to apply to our own lives and situations!

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• Inside Shakira’s sweet revenge against ex Gerard Pique - do two wrongs make a right?
• Miley’s “Flowers” - is there power in the ability to reclaim your own narrative?
• Exploring the difference between what you put out there in the world as a co-parent versus being a childless couple
• “Everyone sings about heartbreak, but it hits differently when kids are involved.”

Susan Guthrie, Esq. and special guest Josh Kershenbaum, Esq. return for part two of a special two-part episode series on navigating divorce with parents of children with disabilities. 

Josh Kershenbaum is one of the nation's top experts in the area of mediation and negotiation for families with children with special needs.  In part one of this two-part series, Susan and Josh discussed the issues families face when they're going through divorce or separation, and have children with disabilities.  In this episode, they’ll explore solutions to these issues and work to empower parents as they go through the divorce process. 

Josh Kershenbaum, Esq., is a dedicated Peacemaker.  He earned certifications in Negotiation and Mediation at the Harvard Program on Negotiation and trained in Divorce & Family Mediation at the Mosten Guthrie Academy with Forrest (“Woody”) Mosten and Susan Guthrie. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• Why it is imperative to choose the right divorce process that keeps you and your co-parent in the driver’s seat as much as possible. If you’re in an adversarial divorce process, it’s never too late to re-take control. 
• “A child-centered divorce is crucial. It is the biggest gift you can give yourself and your child.”
• The importance of thinking of your divorce as a team process and why you should bring people on your team who have experience working with families who have kids with disabilities
• Organize your child’s documents: IEPs, medical records, records of care, and more.
