Description

What do divorce lawyers know about marriage that most couples don’t think about until it’s too late? On this episode of the Gold Coast Podcast, Eric Winegard sits down with Caroline Johnson and Christen Ritchey, Founding Partners of Johnson Ritchey Family Law, for a candid conversation about marriage, divorce, prenups, relationships, children, and the issues they see couples fight over every day. Caroline and Christen explain why they believe the conversations couples have before marriage can matter just as much as what happens after the wedding. From money and children to lifestyle, retirement, conflict, and expectations, they break down the topics couples often avoid until those differences become much harder to ignore.  They also challenge the stigma around prenuptial agreements. Caroline says she believes everyone getting married should consider one, not simply to protect what they have today, but to create a clearer roadmap for what happens as life, finances, and families evolve. The conversation also gets into the emotional side of divorce, how resentment can turn even small disagreements into expensive battles, what happens when children get caught in the middle, therapy, co-parenting, and why the goal after a breakup should be to love your children more than you hate your ex. And yes, they share some wild divorce stories, including one multimillion-dollar case that nearly stalled over five TVs.
