In this episode of The Divorce Circle Podcast, Sabeena is joined by family lawyer, Amalia Schön, to explore why going to court during divorce is often the most expensive, stressful, and unpredictable path — and what a better alternative can look like.
Divorce is not just a legal process — it’s a life transition that impacts your finances, your children, and your future. Amalia shares why she takes a collaborative approach to family law, helping clients resolve disputes outside of court in a way that prioritizes clarity, control, and long-term outcomes.
Together, Sabeena and Amalia break down what a participation agreement is, why nuisance claims can cost you thousands, and how misunderstandings around concepts like excluded property can significantly impact your settlement. They also discuss the reality of court — including delays, costs, and unpredictability — and why many people walk away dissatisfied despite spending years and significant money in litigation.
This episode also explores how parents can model healthy conflict resolution for their children during divorce, and why how you handle the process matters just as much as the outcome itself. If you’re navigating separation or divorce and want to avoid costly legal mistakes, this conversation offers practical, real-world guidance to help you make more informed decisions.
