️Can my ex stop me from seeing my child?️ When you’re going through divorce or separation as a parent, your children’s wellbeing is going to be the first thing on your mind. It’s natural to have worries and even fears about what the future holds. Some parents are able to work out post-separation arrangements between themselves, while others struggle. This can raise concerns about whether your ex can stop you from seeing your child. In this episode, Liza and Emily break down how child arrangements work, focusing on what’s in the best interests of the child, and look at whether your ex can prevent contact.

What is counts as matrimonial property in divorce?
Aug 19, 202623 minS2
️What counts as matrimonial property in divorce?️ Is everything split 50/50 in divorce? Well, sometimes! But most of the time, it’s not quite as black and white as that. In financial settlement discussions, separating couples and their lawyers need to understand what is ‘matrimonial’ and ‘non-matrimonial’, who gets what and is it a fair division based on the needs of each person. In this episode, Liza and her colleague Emily discuss what actually counts as matrimonial property, i.e. assets that are available for division, and what happens to ringfenced assets. They talk about the Supreme Court judgment in Standish v Standish and changing case law on ‘matrimonialisation’, reminding listeners that whatever happens, you will not be left destitute. 00:18 Introductions 1:05 What is matrimonial property and how does it work in divorce settlements? 03:31 How are pensions considered in divorce? 04:56 A discussion of inheritance and financial gifts in divorce settlements 06:17 Can businesses be ringfenced? 08:03 A discussion of Standish v Standish and laws around matrimonial property and ringfencing 12:36 Protecting assets going into or within a marriage 14:35 The importance of fairness in divorce settlements 18:02 Red flags in discussions with your ex 20:55 Protecting your long term financial future Does the law on finances in divorce need to be reformed? https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/stowe-support/divorce-finance-reform/ Is everything split 50/50 in divorce? https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/stowe-support/is-everything-split-50-50-in-divorce/ What is a financial settlement and how does it work? https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/stowe-support/what-is-a-financial-settlement-and-how-does-it-work/ What am I entitled to in a divorce settlement? https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/stowe-support/what-am-i-entitled-to-in-a-divorce-settlement/ How to prepare for your financial settlement https://studio.youtube.com/video/4x4oKDCwDWg/edit How is inheritance dealt with in divorce? https://open.spotify.com/episode/76eAKtJuIEm3ALk7EOqzy9?si=ac7a75c492934186 If you need support with the issues raised in this podcast, or would like to speak to a family lawyer, contact Stowe at: https://bit.ly/35WPSj2 Join our list to get the latest from our lawyers, divorce coaches and relationship experts sent monthly to your inbox.

How does neurodiversity affect relationships and breakups?
Jul 22, 202642 minS2
️How does neurodiversity affect relationships and breakups?️ Neurodiversity, as Dr Angharad Rudkin, experienced Clinical Psychologist, explains, refers to the natural variation in how brains work and process information. This can mean that, in some relationships, neurodivergent individuals face different challenges than those experienced by neurotypical people. These unique challenges can manifest in stressful situations, such as adding children to a family, or divorce or separation. In this episode, Liza Gatrell speaks to Dr Angharad about how neurodiversity can impact relationships and relationship breakdowns, both from the perspective of neurodivergent adults and neurodivergent children. They explore the impact, as well as offering insight into how to work with neurodiversity, not against it. 00:26 Welcome and introductions 1:45 What is neurodiversity? 2:33 Is neurodiversity becoming a buzzword or is there better awareness? 5:09 The different ways neurodiversity can manifest 6:21 How do different neurodiversities impact relationships and parenting? 10:39 Relationship breakdowns between neurotypical and neurodiverse partners 13:14 Understanding how neurotypical can support a neurodivergent partner 14:36 Additional challenges faced in separations involving neurodiversities 17:28 Strategies to help manage the stress of separation 18:51 Telling your lawyer about your neurodiversity 21:25 Supporting neurodiverse children through separation 27:11 How to tell children you’re separating 31:26 Where to get extra support as a neurodivergent individual through separation 32:47 Talking to your lawyer about what help you need 39:45 It’s ok to be different Useful links Coping with divorce as a neurodivergent individual https://youtu.be/EQUikkUVaLA?si=8WHMNsKSvpS1NkBI Parenting after divorce or separation https://youtu.be/vlvi_O08INY?si=Gdk5H9-I6OL3b3MS Supporting neurodiverse children through divorce https://youtu.be/Wyuv-sFlRT4?si=wPSNYS-q557Bei5J Guide to creating a parenting plan https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/premium-content/?type=guide&item=creating-a-parenting-plan Parenting plan template https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SFL_Premium-handbook-Parenting-plan-template.pdf How to have difficult conversations and avoid arguments https://www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk/stowe-support/how-to-have-a-difficult-conversation-and-avoid-arguments/ If you need support with the issues raised in this podcast, or would like to speak to a family lawyer, contact Stowe at: https://bit.ly/35WPSj2 Join our email list to get the latest from our lawyers, divorce coaches and relationship experts sent monthly to your inbox.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
