EP43 The LEGALLY NIK Chapter: Bridging the Gap in Navigating Co-Parenting Challenges

The Divorce Chapter

Send us a text

On this week’s episode we have the amazing Legally Nik as our wonderful first ever guest on the Divorce Chapter pod.

Nik is a trained family lawyer specialising in child protection and she also is a co-parenting, counter- parenting mentor. Bridging the gap between the law and real life, Nik provides not only legal guidance to your personal matters, but equips you with strategies and coping mechanisms to get through what can only be described as, one of the most painful points of your life. Nik is a mum herself and is just an utterly fabulous human doing fantastic work and I utterly LOVED recording this episode with her.

There are so many takeaways in the episode:

• Explaining co-parenting, counter-parenting and parallel parenting.
• Managing the parenting relationship with a difficult ex.
• Different family dynamics.
• Dealing with litigation abuse.
• Putting children first.
• The importance of compartmentalising our pain.

And so much more.

I hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as I enjoyed recording it.

(And if you do, I’d love it if you could rate and review the episode 🫶)
