This week Sid talks to one of the biggest and brightest stars in country music – Lainey Wilson. Back in May, he drove up to Nashville and got to have this conversation in person at Lainey’s farmhouse outside of town. The occasion was a Southern Living cover shoot, and Lainey and Sid sat down on a pair of comfortable chairs in her speakeasy-style basement, which is where she writes a lot of her songs. Lainey couldn’t have been more welcoming as a host, even though she’d been touring nonstop for her latest album, Whirlwind . She’s also hosting the CMA Awards in mid-November, and she’s appearing in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him early next year. But Lainey has clearly not forgotten her small-town roots in Baskin, Louisiana, or the importance of good friends, family, and her faith. She talked a lot about how she stays grounded, how she keeps holding on despite a wild few years in Nashville, and the importance of keeping her people close. She also told some funny stories about her fiance, Devlin Hodges, who goes by Duck, and how she and her family celebrate Thanksgiving.

This episode of Divorce and Family Law Podcast highlights shared parental authority in family law, particularly in the context of custody decisions influenced by domestic violence. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding Florida statutes regarding shared parental responsibility and the implications of domestic violence on custody arrangements. Attorney Jacobs emphasizes the need for attorneys to gather comprehensive information from clients to navigate these sensitive cases effectively. Clients often seek sole decision-making authority in custody cases. Understanding the facts of a case is crucial for attorneys. Domestic violence significantly impacts custody decisions. Florida law mandates shared parental responsibility unless proven detrimental. Judicial discretion plays a role in custody determinations. Evidence of domestic violence must be considered by the court. Not all domestic violence cases lead to injunctions. The court's standard for detriment to the child is critical.

Attorney Jonathan Jacobs talks about child support and timesharing in Florida, highlighting the misconceptions surrounding these topics. Divorce and Family Law Podcast clarifies child support is intended for the benefit of children, not the receiving parent, and discusses the financial responsibilities that come with parenting. The conversation also addresses common myths about equal timesharing and its impact on child support obligations, clarifying that even with equal time, one parent may still owe support due to differing financial responsibilities. Child support is intended for the benefit of children, not the receiving parent. Many parents mistakenly believe they have control over how child support is spent. Child support amounts have not been adjusted for inflation, impacting financial responsibilities. Equal time sharing does not automatically nullify child support obligations. The financial realities of parenting often lead to one parent owing support, even with equal time sharing. Misconceptions about child support can lead to unnecessary conflict between parents. The law does not require the receiving parent to account for every dollar spent on child support. Child support is a legal obligation that must be fulfilled regardless of personal feelings about spending. Parents should focus on the welfare of their children rather than the spending habits of the other parent. Understanding Florida law is crucial for navigating child support and time sharing issues.

Attorney Jonathan Jacobs talks about time-sharing in child custody cases, particularly focusing on the emotional and legal challenges faced by parents who are denied access to their children. It discusses the implications of ramp-up time sharing, the emotional toll it takes on both parents and children, and the legal options available to parents, including filing for temporary relief to secure more equitable time sharing arrangements. The discussion emphasizes the importance of taking action to protect parental rights and the well-being of children. Ramp-up time sharing can feel punitive and inappropriate. The Emotional toll on parents and children is significant. Filing a motion for temporary relief can be crucial. The court may favor majority time sharing if one parent is obstructive. Temporary agreements can be beneficial while waiting for hearings. Litigation may be necessary if the other parent is unreasonable. Child support obligations increase with less time sharing.

Attorney Jonathan Jacobs pinpoints the differences between courthouse mediation and private mediation, particularly in Florida. Divorce and Family Law Podcast highlights the financial barriers imposed by the current $100,000 income limit for courthouse mediation, which affects access for many individuals. The discussion also touches on the potential changes in regulations that may increase the income threshold, allowing more people to access affordable mediation services. The implications of these changes on both mediators and clients are examined, emphasizing the importance of equitable access to dispute resolution services. The difference between courthouse and private mediation is significant. A $100,000 income limit restricts access to courthouse mediation. Private mediators can charge between $150 to $500 an hour. Many people may have to spend thousands for mediation services. The Florida Supreme Court is considering raising the income limit for mediation. Higher income limits could allow more people to access affordable mediation. Back-to-back mediation sessions can reduce costs significantly. Changes in mediation regulations could reshape the mediation landscape. High-end mediators may face reduced business due to increased courthouse mediation. The impact of new laws on mediation costs is unpredictable. titles Sound Bites "This rule change is a huge benefit to people."

Attorney Jonathan Jacobs talks about child support calculations, particularly focusing on the imputation of minimum wage for individuals earning less than minimum wage. Divorce and Family Law Podcast discusses the implications of underemployment, the importance of accurate income reporting, and the financial realities faced by parents in today's economy, especially in light of rising inflation and living costs. Imputing minimum wage is common in child support cases. Minimum wage serves as a safeguard for minor children's needs. Deliberately underreporting income can backfire legally. Parents should aim for higher earnings than minimum wage. Child support guidelines may need updating due to inflation. Contesting minimum wage imputation can be costly. Financial resources for children are often insufficient today. Honest discussions about expenses are necessary. Parents should manage their work hours to meet minimum wage. The legal system aims to ensure fair support for children. "Minimum wage is the bare minimum amount."

Do Women Cause All Divorces? 6:32

Attorney Jonathan Jacobs, host of Divorce and Family Law Podcast asks the question "Do women cause all divorces?" Attorney Jacobs challenges the notion that women are solely responsible for divorces, emphasizing the evolving gender roles and societal expectations that contribute to relationship issues. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding emotional health, personal responsibility, and the shared nature of marital relationships. Do women cause divorces? Is it their fault? Men were traditionally the breadwinners, women homemakers. Women have the right to feel the way that they do. Marriage is an 'us thing' and requires mutual care. Not all individuals are capable of sustaining long-term relationships. Women are unique individuals, not just defined by gender. Unhappiness with life can lead to divorce. Men may have to rely on women in modern society. The dynamics of marriage are complex and multifaceted. People as couples are responsible for divorces, not just one gender. titles Sound Bites "It's an us thing in a marriage."

In this episode of Divorce and Family Law Podcast, Attorney Jonathan Jacobs discusses two recent court hearings, emphasizing the importance of having substantial evidence when filing petitions in family law cases. Attorney Jacobs critiques the practice of filing unsubstantiated claims and highlights the necessity of complying with court orders to ensure a fair legal process. The discussion provides insights into the standards of evidence required in family law and the implications of non-compliance in court proceedings. We won because of the other side. You ought to consider having the goods first. Simply stating something without proof is deficient. Attorney fees should be awarded against the person that files nothing. Compliance is against your client's interest, present that to the trier. If you do it and the other side does not do it, maybe the judge will give that other side another chance. If you are violating a court order, it's time for the trier to act. Family law mirrors civil law in many ways. You should have evidence to support your claims. The burden to change time sharing or alimony is extraordinary. "Family law mirrors civil law in many ways."
