Irreconcilable: The Divorce Podcast | Episode 19: When Divorce Turns Into a War: Navigating High-Conflict Cases

Not every divorce is civil. Some cases involve manipulation, false allegations, constant court filings, and a spouse who refuses to cooperate no matter what. In this episode, we break down what makes a divorce "high-conflict," how it affects custody, finances, and your mental health, and what strategies actually work when you are dealing with a difficult ex. We cover how California courts handle high-conflict cases, the role of custody evaluators and minor's counsel, and why going on the offensive is not always the best move. We also talk about how to document everything, protect your children from being caught in the middle, and when it makes sense to push back versus when to let things go. If your divorce feels more like a battle than a process, this episode is for you.
