Attorney Henry Gornbein returns to discuss the 2012 judicial elections and the importance of voting. Thirty-nine states elect at least some of their judges, and the vast majority of cases in the United States are heard by elective courts. To safeguard the rights of parties appearing before these courts, its important to be aware of, and reduce reduce the influence of money on judicial elections. If you're contemplating divorce, chances are, you'll find yourself before a judge.  Henry advises all of us to become more involved in learning about the candidates that may be ruling on your case.  He also addresses the Supreme Court ruling that opened the door for public interest groups designed to sway voters.

This is the first in a series of programs recorded at The Family Support Expo, in Toronto, Canada, in October of 2012. Congratulations to Stephen Rosenfield for delivering a great show! In this program, attorney John Schuman joins Steve Peck to discuss the voice of a child during divorce. Divorcing is tough enough, but add children to the mix, and divorce just got more complicated.  Some parents get so caught up in the drama of divorce that they forget to think about how their children might be processing this restructuring of their families. Protecting our children's innocence should be the priority when divorcing, and this program will help you gain insight into what your children might be experiencing, regardless of their ages. In this discussion, Mr. Schuman also provides valuable advice to parents, especially those in high-conflict situations. Topics in the program include: The effect divorce has on children Kids don't want to decide where to live Children want to have a voice in the situation too The h

This episode of Single Again! Now What? was recorded the week Steve's mother passed away, and Joanie and Steve discuss losing a loved one.  As we age, many of us are facing the loss of our parents, some have already lost them. It's strange how the tables can turn where the ones that used to care and provide for us, now need us to care for them.  And once a loved one passes away, the business of making funeral arrangements can be overwhelming.  And then there's the grief.  Steve shares his story and thanks listeners for writing kind words during this tough time. Also in the program, Joanie talks about the retreat she had for women who are in the midst of or post cancer.  Joanie runs a wonderful non-profit that provides these special women with a day of well deserved pampering.

You may not be struggling with one of these issues, but you definitely know someone who is.If you’re going through a separation or divorce, you are not alone.  40% - 50% (statistics vary depending on where you live) of couples are just like you.  Separation and divorce could be the largest or second largest expense in your li

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce, with Mark Banschick, M.D., we discuss what it is about divorce that makes seemingly "normal" people behave in crazy, and even violent, ways? Dr. Banschick explains that it's quite common for divorcing individuals to feel like they are the victim. This can even be the case for people who have had an affair, because they might see the reason they did so was that their partner wasn't paying attention to them. When relationships go wrong, your partner might be pushing all of your hot buttons, setting you off into a rage to the point of verbal or domestic violence.  We'll explore the role control and narcissistic behavior can play in this harmful behavior during divorce. Above all, divorcing couples should put their children first and protect their innocence by not dragging them into their relationship problems.  It is vital that you learn to manage your emotions in order to avoid verbal and physical abuse and manipulation, for the sake for your children and your own pea

On our show today we had the great pleasure of speaking with founder of Life’s Permissionslip.com life and business coach Michael Tertes!

Lesley has worked with Michael as he is primarily an entrepreneur coach but so much of what he teaches relates to the emotional side of being human and single again!Are you settling for mediocrity, pretending life is great, trying to be a hero and do it all, are you a martyr or feel stuck in an area of your life?

In this program, you'll learn to: GET HONEST/GET REAL GET WHO YOU REALLY ARE GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Michael is offering a first

At the time many couples decide to divorce, the intimacy in their relationship had subsided years ago. This process can erode slowly to the point where many don't even notice it happening until it's too late. Intimacy includes sex but is much more than that.  Intimacy is about being emotionally close to your partner, about being able to let your guard down, and let him or her know how you really feel.  Intimacy is also about being able to accept and share in your partner's feelings, about being there when he/she wants to let their defenses down. So why does intimacy fade and can the flame be rekindled?  Many affairs are the result of intimacy dying in a relationship, and then finding someone else that makes them feel more important, loved and understood than their own partner. In this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck from The Divorce Expo in Chicago, Rev. Dr. Gary A. Williams and his wife Greta join the program to discuss how to co-create successful, intimate relationships. They bring a new ins

Today on Single Again! Now What? with Joanie & Steve, Terry Gaspard, of www.MovingPastDivorce.com, joins us to discuss her mission of helping women who grew up in divorced homes make healthy choices in their relationships.  (Steve helps represent for the male audience as well.) Terry and her daughter, Tracy Clifford,  are both daughters of divorce.  Together, they started their website because they believe that many women struggle silently and needlessly through divorce. Many daughters of divorce have trouble trusting their partners, fear their relationships will not succeed, and struggle with issues related to self-worth. A history of divorce in a girl’s childhood can predict ambivalence towards commitment in intimate relationships. With respect to divorce proneness, women whose parents divorced are more likely to enter marriage with lower confidence in the future of their marriage, potentially raising their risk of divorce. Even though divorce no longer carries its old stigma in our culture, it still hu

On today's program, Steve's guest is Dr. Margret Paul, co-founder of INNER BONDING, the complete process of self-healing anxiety, depression, addictions and relationships. Margaret holds a Ph.D. in psychology and is a relationship expert, noted public speaker, workshop leader, educator, and artist. She has appeared on many radio and TV shows, including the Oprah show  and has successfully worked with thousands of individuals and couples, and shares how Inner Bonding can help you create the life you deserve. Inner Bonding offers a complete self-healing process that has not been offered by either psychology or religion. People are recognizing that life is empty without the spiritual dimension, but religion has not always provided that. Inner Bonding differentiates between love intended to get and love intended to give, between power over others and power within self. It provides a much-needed process for moving out of fear and into love, out of the need to control and into trust, so you can weather the storms

Privacy rights of your health information are well established within the healthcare community.  Doctors, nurses and pharmacists know that you have a right to privacy of your health information. However, there's a GAP, a loop whole if you will, and something that HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) does not address – and that happens in many walks of life – in particular divorce court. You may be surprised to learn that the privacy of your health information is not protected when it is inappropriately used in divorce court by your spouse and their attorneys.  The first step is being aware of the problem, the second step is taking initiative to control the inappropriate use of health information for yourself and that of your children.In the episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck from The Divorce Expo in Chicago, Medical Business Associates founder, Rebecca Saltiel Busch joins us to discuss our healthcare rights and explains why we need to be our own health advocate.

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Mark Banschick, M.D., we discuss pain.  Whether physical or through something like divorce, pain is a force to be reckoned with. Dr. Banschick shares his personal story of a recent back injury that left him incapable of doing things he used to take for granted, such as walking, showering, or making a cup of coffee.  Dr. Banschick talks about the  Stoics.  Stoicism was founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early3rd century BC. The Stoics taught that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection," would not suffer such emotions. Said another way, Stoics believed that bad things can happen to good people and that life can be unfair. In this program, Dr. Banschick talks about: Getting through the pain of illness or divorce Learning to value what you have, not what you've lost The Spirituality of pain Thinking twice before you move once And much more. This is a powerful program delivered
