A direct, evidence-based podcast for people navigating all-things separation and divorce, including; post-separation abuse, family violence, parenting, property settlement and the family law system - with a relentless focus on protecting children and building a life beyond separation. Because, the advice your lawyer gives you is only the beginning. Family law tells you what the system can do. This podcast helps you understand what to seek, what to challenge, what to bring into the room - and how to live with the decisions, and move on with your life, afterwards.
Danielle Black is a specialist post-separation parenting coach and the founder and principal coach of Danielle Black Coaching. Having navigated her own complex separation, and guided hundreds of clients to successful outcomes, Danielle and her coaching team specialise in helping protective parents to optimise the outcome for themselves and their children, and support clients to navigate post-separation situations that other professionals don't properly address.
Drawing on her extensive tertiary qualifications, developmental science, research, trauma-informed practice and both professional and lived experience, she examines how abuse can continue after separation, how systems and professionals respond, and what genuinely informed decision-making and credible advocacy requires when risk, fear or power imbalance is present.
Because understanding family law is not enough.
Having a lawyer is not enough.
A lawyer can advise you about the law, legal process and evidence. But optimising your parenting outcome also requires knowledge of child development, attachment, coercive control and trauma; the capacity to remain strategic under pressure; and the confidence to advocate for what you and your children genuinely need.
This podcast examines all of those layers.
It challenges the assumptions that routinely shape post-separation outcomes: the fixation on 50/50 shared care, the misuse of “friendly parent” ideals, the belief that compromise is always constructive, and the fantasy that engaging the right professional means you can safely hand over the strategy, decision-making and advocacy.
Across the podcast, Danielle explores:
how post-separation abuse operates through parenting, financial and legal processes;
what children need after separation - and why adult notions of fairness are an inadequate guide;
what lawyers and other post-separation professionals were, and were not, trained to understand;
why standard co-parenting frameworks often fail families affected by coercive control and other forms of family violence and post-separation abuse;
how to assess the benefits, risks and real-world costs of negotiation, litigation and other pathways;
how knowledge, capacity and advocacy can materially change outcomes;
and what comes next, when separation and survival no longer occupy the centre of your life.
Expect direct language, research-backed analysis, practical guidance and a few cuss words - not platitudes, false balance or simplistic promises of justice.
This is not only about understanding what happened in your situation.
It is about making informed decisions now - and becoming the author, and authority, of what comes next.
To go deeper, explore The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™, Danielle’s flagship program for parents building the knowledge, capacity and advocacy skills needed to make informed, protective decisions after separation.

128. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 8: Influence, manipulation & loyalty conflicts
jeudi 29 octobre 2026 • Durée 41:51
This is part 8 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says 'no', our job isn't to immediately decide what the 'no' proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
When a child resists or refuses a relationship with a parent, allegations of "parental alienation" can quickly become part of the conversation. But how do we distinguish genuine manipulation or influencing from a child's own experiences, grievances and feelings about their parents?
In Part 8 of When Children Say No: Resistance, Refusal and Relationships After Separation, Danielle Black explores the complicated ways children can be influenced by the adults around them, including deliberate manipulation, emotional pressure, loyalty conflicts and exposure to adult grievances.
Genuine manipulation happens. Children can be lied to, pressured to take sides, made responsible for a parent's emotional wellbeing or encouraged to reject a parent they previously enjoyed a relationship with. But recognising those possibilities doesn't mean every instance of resistance or refusal can be explained by "parental alienation" or deliberate influencing.
In this episode Danielle examines how children can be exposed to inappropriate parental influence while also having legitimate grievances with the parent they're rejecting. She explores why children may remain deeply attached to an abusive parent, how coercive control can shape children's loyalties and behaviour, and why even well-intentioned parents can inadvertently place emotional burdens on their children.
The episode also challenges the tendency to interpret every interaction through the behaviour of the other parent. When a child expresses anger, withdraws from contact or describes a difficult experience, are adults genuinely listening to what that child is communicating, and recognising that their experiences and feelings are real to them, or are they searching for yet more evidence that someone else has influenced them?
Danielle considers what happens when parents become consumed by explanations for estrangement, the importance of remaining curious about children's independent experiences, and why rebuilding a relationship requires more than convincing a child that they've been misled - because understanding why a child is resisting a parent is not the same as understanding what that child needs from the relationship.

127. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 7: When we stop forcing contact
jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 48:19
This is part 7 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
What happens when a child persistently refuses to spend time with a parent, and the court ultimately decides that contact should no longer be required?
In Part 7 of our When Children Resist or Refuse series, Principal Coach Danielle Black explores circumstances in which parenting arrangements may provide for no contact, or for time with a parent to occur according to a child's wishes.
While orders limiting or preventing contact may be made because of safety concerns, this episode focuses on a different and often misunderstood situation: children, particularly adolescents, whose resistance or refusal has become so entrenched that requiring them to spend time with a parent may no longer be appropriate or practically achievable.
Danielle examines the significance of children's expressed wishes, the role of family report writers and other professionals, and why courts may sometimes make these arrangements by consent rather than following a contested final hearing.
The episode also considers the practical realities of expecting a parent to compel an older child to attend contact, the limitations of court orders in repairing damaged relationships, and the responsibilities that remain with parents when compulsory time is no longer part of the arrangement.
Importantly, an order that no longer requires contact does not necessarily mean a parent-child relationship can never be repaired, but when the legal requirement to spend time together falls away, the question becomes less about enforcing a parenting schedule and more about whether a meaningful relationship can be built or rebuilt.
A court can make orders about time. It cannot order a child to feel safe, connected or loved.
126. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 6: Encouragement, or coercion?
jeudi 15 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:11:02
This is part 6 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
When a child resists or refuses spending time with a parent, adults are often told that the child needs encouragement. But what does meaningful encouragement actually look like? And at what point does encouragement become coercion?
In Part 6 of When Children Resist or Refuse, experienced post-separation parenting coach Danielle Black explores one of the most difficult questions in post-separation parenting: how to support a child's relationship with a parent without dismissing their experiences, overriding their distress or making them responsible for repairing a struggling relationship.
This episode examines the difference between ordinary discomfort and distress that warrants closer attention. Danielle considers the responsibilities of both the preferred and resisted parent, the importance of historical caregiving and relational attunement. She also explores what happens when a parent is genuinely encouraging contact but a child continues to resist, why compliance should not be confused with connection, and the risks of treating a child's distress as something to overcome rather than information to understand.
Supporting a meaningful parent-child relationship isn't simply about getting a child through the next changeover. It's about understanding what that child needs to feel safe, supported and connected within the relationship.

125. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 5: Whose job is it to "fix" the relationship?
jeudi 8 octobre 2026 • Durée 36:57
This is part 5 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
When a child resists or refuses spending time with a parent, there's often an enormous amount of attention directed towards the parent the child does want to be with.
Are they encouraging the relationship?
Are they influencing the child?
Are they doing enough to facilitate contact?
...But what about the parent whose relationship with the child is struggling?
What responsibility do they have for understanding why their child doesn't want to spend time with them - and for doing something about it?
In Part 5 of this series, we're turning the spotlight towards the parent-child relationship itself.
We're talking about the difference between having parenting time and having a relationship. Between demanding contact with a child and demonstrating the capacity for connection. Between wanting your child to love you and being willing to understand their experience of you.
And we're asking some uncomfortable questions.
Can you tolerate your child having a mind that exists separately from yours?
Can you hear something about your relationship that you don't like without immediately dismissing, correcting or blaming somebody else?
Can your child disagree with you without feeling that your love, approval or emotional wellbeing is at stake?
We'll also look at the responsibilities of the child's preferred parent, because nobody gets immunity from assessment. However, supporting a child's relationship with their other parent is not the same as being responsible for creating or repairing that relationship on somebody else's behalf.
124. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 4: Your barrister is not an oracle
samedi 3 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:07:56
This is part 4 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
Your barrister might be excellent.
Your lawyer might know family law inside out.
They may have decades of experience, strong professional judgement and a far better understanding of the legal system than you do.
They still cannot see the future.
In Episode 4 of the When Children Resist or Refuse series, Danielle turns the spotlight toward legal advice, professional opinion and the enormous temptation to turn uncertainty into certainty when the stakes feel impossibly high.
Because there is a difference between:
“My barrister thinks this is a risk.”
and:
“This is definitely going to happen.”
There is a difference between what you believe, what you've told your lawyer, what your legal team considers relevant, what is actually in evidence, the case your barrister is advancing - and the orders you've ultimately been advised to seek, oppose or accept.
And those things don't always line up as neatly as we imagine.
This episode explores what it means to use professional legal advice strategically without handing over responsibility for understanding your own case; why a professional opinion is still an opinion rather than a prediction; how fear can turn legal advice into prophecy; and why you and your legal team need to be looking at the same fucking map.
Danielle also explores an uncomfortable possibility: sometimes the legal advice you're receiving isn't the problem.
123. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 3: Your nervous system is not an oracle
vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 57:06
This is part 3 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
What does your nervous system have to do with a child resisting or refusing time with a parent?
Quite a fucking lot, actually.
In the first two episodes of this series, we've turned our attention toward children: their relationships, their experiences, their resistance and the many different things that can sit underneath a child's "no".
In this episode, Danielle turns the spotlight around.
Because if we're serious about understanding children's resistance accurately, nobody gets diplomatic immunity from scrutiny and assessment - including the preferred or primary caregiver.
For parents who have experienced family violence, coercive control, abuse or prolonged post-separation conflict, hypervigilance can make enormous sense. Sometimes the alarm is detecting a very real fire. Sometimes it's burnt toast. And sometimes there's a complicated combination of current concern and a nervous system shaped by what has happened before.
The answer isn't to ignore the alarm.
It's to get better at understanding what it's telling you.
Danielle explores the difference between distress, dysregulation, functional impairment and parenting capacity; why a trauma response is information rather than automatic proof of present danger; the difference between receiving support and actually building capacity; and why a parenting arrangement cannot become the treatment plan for a parent's nervous system.
She also asks some uncomfortable questions.
Can you tolerate evidence that your child was okay?
What happens when every possible outcome confirms the conclusion you already hold?
122. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 2: What the fuck is a "meaningful relationship" anyway?
vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 33:55
This is part 2 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
What the fuck is a "meaningful relationship" anyway?
We use phrases like meaningful relationship, substantial time, shared care, attachment and best interests so often in separated-parenting conversations that sometimes we stop asking what they actually mean.
And that matters, because somewhere along the way, "children benefit from healthy relationships with both parents" can quietly become "children need equally strong relationships with both parents" - and then "more parenting time creates a 'better relationship' ."
But are those actually the same proposition?
In Episode 2 of When Children Resist or Refuse Danielle explores the assumptions hiding inside familiar family-law and separated-parenting language.
We look at the difference between a parenting arrangement and a parent-child relationship; why attachment and relationship history cannot be reduced to a percentage of nights; what research can - and cannot - tell us about quantity of parenting time; and why a child can love a parent without wanting to live with them for a particular amount of time.
We also ask a question that will keep appearing throughout this series:
Are we protecting the relationship - or are we protecting the parenting schedule?
Because a Court can allocate parenting time. It cannot allocate emotional intimacy.
And apparently the sophisticated critical-thinking methodology for this entire discussion is now:
TABLE. Stop. Define the fucking thing.
121. When Children Resist or Refuse - Part 1: Why don't they want to go?
samedi 12 septembre 2026 • Durée 35:28
This is part 1 of our "When Children Resist or Refuse" series.
This series explores what a child's resistance or refusal might mean. When a child says no, our job isn't to immediately decide what the no proves. It's to understand what might be happening, notice what every adult is bringing to the interpretation, and work out how to respond without losing sight of the child.
What does it actually mean when a child says they don't want to spend time with the other parent?
In the first episode of our new series, When Children Resist or Refuse: Why don't they want to go?, Danielle Black unpacks one of the most difficult - and most misunderstood - issues in post-separation parenting: children who resist or refuse time with a parent.
Because a child's refusal tells us that something is happening. It does not, by itself, tell us why.
Is the child frightened? Is the parenting arrangement simply too much for them? Are they struggling with transitions, neurodivergence or sensory overload? Was the relationship with the other parent ever particularly strong? Has something happened to rupture it? Could family violence, coercive control, harmful parenting or boundary violations be relevant? Is the preferred parent contributing to the problem? Could there be alignment issues or inappropriate parental influence?
And why do these cases so often collapse into the deeply inadequate binary of abuse versus parental alienation?
In this episode, Danielle explores how we can move away from labels and towards something much more useful: understanding the individual child, their history, their relationships and the evidence actually in front of us.
Danielle also looks at the assumption that more parenting time automatically creates a better or more "meaningful" parent-child relationship - and why the research is considerably more complicated than that.
This episode also introduces the newly expanded Module 13 of The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™: When Children Resist or Refuse Contact, including substantial new research and practical frameworks for parents navigating exactly these issues.
120. Is 9/5 the new 50:50? Care arrangements after Australia’s 2024 Family Law changes
vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 57:37
Is nine nights/five nights becoming the new default parenting arrangement after Australia’s 2024 family law reforms?
Danielle Black examines the rise of 9/5 recommendations in family reports and final outcomes, why mathematical ‘balance’ is not the same as a child-focused assessment, and what protective parents should ask when expert recommendations do not clearly connect the evidence to the proposed parenting schedule.
This episode explores equal parenting time, attachment, child development, family violence, report writers, expert evidence and the difference between a recommendation and a court order.

119. Parenting without court orders: More options than you might realise
mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 01:25:57
When parenting arrangements cannot be agreed upon, many protective parents believe they have only two options: give in to what the other parent is demanding or begin family court proceedings.
But those are not the only paths available.
In this episode, Senior Coach Brigid Morgan shares her lived experience of navigating shared-care parenting without formal court orders in a high-conflict post-separation dynamic. She explores the certainty parents may hope court orders will provide, what orders can and cannot realistically achieve, and how a workable arrangement may sometimes be maintained through established care patterns, clear communication boundaries, parallel parenting and careful documentation.
Danielle then joins the conversation to address one of the most difficult questions protective parents face: what happens when the other parent refuses to agree to arrangements or safeguards that you believe are necessary for your children?
Together, Danielle and Brigid discuss:
Why parenting orders are not always the “golden ticket” they can appear to be
The false choice between acquiescing and immediately commencing court proceedings
Parenting plans, established arrangements and the importance of 'status quo' precedents
Parallel parenting when collaboration is neither safe nor realistic
Protective measures that may be implemented without court orders
Holding firm when faced with anger, accusations or threats of legal action
The difference between avoiding conflict and protecting your children
Situations in which formal orders and urgent legal advice may be necessary
This episode is not an argument against parenting orders. It is an invitation to question the assumption that court is automatically the only alternative when agreement cannot be reached - and to understand that parenting without orders does not necessarily mean parenting without boundaries, structure or protection.

I'll share some of my own experience, including what happened when my son's father insisted on equality rather than listening to what our son was telling him.
And we'll explore why you can win the parenting-time argument and still lose the relationship.
Because eventually, the parenting arrangement ends. The changeovers stop. The Court orders can not determine where an adult child spends their time.
And whatever relationship exists will have to stand on its own.
Your child can belong deeply with you. But they do not belong to you.

Sometimes you've heard “there is a risk” and your nervous system has translated it into “this is inevitable.”
And sometimes you've spent months documenting something you believe is central to your case without ever asking whether your legal team agrees, or whether they're actually running the case you think they're running.
Your lawyer cannot run the case that exists only in your head.
And you cannot make informed decisions about the case that exists only in your lawyer's head.
This isn't about becoming your own lawyer. Rather, it's about becoming a better-informed client of the lawyer you already have.
Good professional advice should help you make decisions under uncertainty it shouldn't require you to pretend the uncertainty has disappeared.

Has being the historic primary caregiver become your entire identity - and what happens when your child begins to need you differently?
And can you remain standing while your child experiences something you can't control?
This isn't an invitation to minimise risk, dismiss children's distress or pretend that trauma disappears because somebody tells you to regulate better.
Sometimes there really is a fucking fire.
It's an invitation to become more discerning about the difference between what you know, what you're observing, what you're anticipating and what your nervous system is making it mean.
Because you can be 0% responsible for what somebody did to you and still become responsible for what you do with the injuries they left behind.
And, you do not need to remain injured to prove somebody injured you.
