We're pleased to announce a FREE divorce support group telephone call taking place June 19th from 8:00 - 9:30pm Eastern Standard Time. Leading the call is Divorce Coach Karen McMahon, a frequent contributor to Divorce Source Radio.  Steve Peck is encouraging all DSR listeners to attend this free call. The call topic is Loneliness and Isolation.  Loneliness is not just about your marriage ending, it is about all the aspects of your life that change.  You are separating from your partner of many years and that by itself can lead to loneliness.  But because your entire life is structured around your marriage, it impacts all your relationships. Going from a married couple to a single person affects your relationships with your family, in-laws, friends and most social circles that you have enjoyed during your married life.  Finding yourself suddenly single can feel alien and isolating. Listen to this program for more information on attending this free night of coaching and register today at www.DivorceSourceRadio.

Okay, the show title is just plain dumb, but you try writing better.  When Joanie, Lesley and Steve get together on Single Again! Now What?, the subjects change faster than a speeding bullet. This show begins with a discussion on control freaks and quickly shifts into what chores some women have to do and Steve feels isn't right.  (He's kind of old school.) The trio then shifts into healthy eating and the organic produce guidelines.  Do you know how to tell the difference of true organic produce in stores based on the little sticker?  And who's great idea was it to place a sticker on every piece of fruit? So that's the health part of the show title.  As for the horny, Lesley tells the story of a woman who has a "friend with benefits" relationship because he's "the best lover ever!"  And where did he get his sexual knowledge...  from a friggin book.  (Steve claims he wrote the book... whatever.) The show ends on an up-note with how to follow your heart and live your dream.  So enjoy the ride and stop by the Si

Don't shove the children into the corner with the idea you are protecting them from the horrors of divorce when selling the marital home, you are not. The children will start asking questions at this point (after some crying); one will certainly be about the home.  Assuming you are going to sell the home, turn the conversation into something positive and reassuring.  Tell them you will be inviting a realtor (specialist I hope!) over soon and you would like for them to be with you and ask questions. In this episode or Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck,  Divorce Realtor, Randy Morrow joins us to discuss selling the marital home with children during divorce.

Did you know that your brain can help you through divorce in a much smarter, more emotionally balanced way?  There is tremendous scientific knowledge about the brain yet the legal system is slow at integrating it. Our guest, Nathalie Boutet (http://www.basmansmith.com/i3boutet.asp) (http://www.collaborativelawblog.ca/about-nathalie-boutet) explains what we have known for years – that our cognitive abilities diminish when we are experiencing strong emotion. Separating clients are frequently in a state of high emotions stemming from years of unhappiness in their marriage. They are likely to encounter many instances when they will get emotionally triggered during which time their ability to think and reason will be diminished. Yet we demand that separating parents co-parent effectively and work together amicably to resolve complex financial decisions. Separating families, and especially the children, the innocent victims, suffer tremendously before, during and after the legal separation process. How can you get

On this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck, Karen McMahon is back to help us understand what it means to love ourself.  Self love is vital if we are to be loved in this world.  If you have been living in a loveless marriage, you have not been getting what you need from your spouse… and what have you been giving yourself?  For many, it's hard to tell the difference between selfless, selfish and self-love.  If your tendency has been to put other’s needs before yours, self love is neither easy nor comfortable.  It often comes with feelings of guilt, fear and selfishness.  You need to be clear on the difference between selfish and self loving so that you can stand firm in your desire to be healthy and be able to explain / defend your actions to your loved ones. Oscar Wilde put it beautifully, “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance” For more on Karen McMahon, visit: www.KMLifeCoaching.com

The Leon Walker case has received national attention as a landmark case related to email privacy issues.  Leon Walker Faces felony charges and up to 5-years in prison for reading his wife's emails.

(Listener Note: This is part one of a three-part series.  To find the other episodes, search "Intelligent Divorce" from the Divorce Source Radio "search" bar.) In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Mark Banschick, M.D., we begin a three part series on Blended Families. Stepfamilies, also known as blended families, are more of a norm now than ever, with 65% of remarriages including children from previous relationships. When families “blend” to create stepfamilies, though, things rarely progress smoothly.  Some children may resist the many changes they face, while parents may become frustrated or disappointed when the new family doesn’t function like their previous family. While changes to family structure require some adjustment time for everyone involved, with the right guidance and realistic expectations, most blended families are able to work out their growing pains and live together successfully. Open communication, positive attitudes, mutual respect, and plenty of love and patience all have an

Understanding what mediation is as a process, and finding the right mediator, are critical elements to developing a smart and long lasting parenting and financial agreements that are predicated on informed, thoughtful decision making.  A good mediator will discuss what your goals are for the process, what is important to each of you and will help you to craft a plan that addresses those goals and intentions.  This is important to understand, as all mediators are not created equal! Our guest, Cara Raich, (http://www.srmediators.com/mediators/cara-raich-esq/)  (http://mediatetrix.wordpress.com/) explores the specifics of mediation in this episode of The Smart Divorce, with Deborah Moskovitch and Steve Peck.   Cara is a mediator and attorney who specializes in helping people find non-adversarial resolutions to conflict. She mediates a wide range of cases including divorce, family conflicts, and organizational and civil disputes. Cara is dedicated to helping her clients avoid the challenges and acrimony that fre

Regular communication between you and your ex will help to make your co-parenting more successful. Communicating clearly is hard work. You and the your former partner may have longstanding conflicts that make it difficult to discuss any issue. You might misunderstand each other. Do your best to set aside those past differences and relationship issues. In this episode of "Ask Henry" on Divorce Source Radio, Attorney Henry Gornbein addresses the topic of Parenting Time, formerly known as Visitation. Successful Do's for Co-Parenting - Making The Most of Your Time with Your Kids Focus on common goals. Work together to resolve problems involving your child. Once you and the other parent agree on a plan, write it down so you are sure that you both understand. Inform each other about important issues affecting your child, such as those involving school, health problems, medication, and discipline. Call the other parent if you are going to be late, or your schedule changes. To resolve disagreements, seek help fr

Many times, a person may fear becoming involved in a new relationship after divorce.  In this episode of Sex after Divorce, sex therapist Juliana Neiman helps us understand the healing process after being emotionally wounded in a past relationship. Juliana speaks to the importance of facing your fears and discussing them with your new person of interest. If you're a woman fearing commitment, know that you're not alone. According to the State of Our Union, National Marriage Project, approximately 30 million women in the United States alone are single.  Not surprisingly, men experience the same fears as women. You may have been married to a jerk, but that doesn't mean your new boyfriend or girlfriend has to be. Learn to spot the qualities you don't want in a new partner, to reduce the risk of marrying the same type of person you just divorced or broke up with.
