"Who Gets to Keep the Friends? Collateral Damage and the Need for Boundaries in Divorce with Jan & Jillian Yuhas, The Love Twins" on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #108

In this episode, Susan Guthrie, top family law attorney and mediator, and the former host of Breaking Free: A Modern Divorce Podcast chats with Jan Yuhas and Jillian Yuhas, the dynamic duo known as "the Love Twins" and creators of the Entwined Lifestyle brand about the need for firm and clear boundaries when divorcing.

When people are facing divorce the first things they think about are dividing their money and assets as well as defining their time with their kids but there is much, much more to the equation when you are facing disentangling from each other's lives.  To do so successfully, it is very important that the couple clearly communicate and that they agree to and follow certain firm boundaries between their new, SEPARATE LIVES!  Jan and Jillian Yuhas, the founders of the lifestyle coaching team at Entwined Lifestyle, join Susan Guthrie today to discuss some of the many collateral issues that need to be discussed and hopefully given some boundaries so that life doesn't get messy as you try to move forward.  This can be especially complicated when you have kids together and have to co-parent after the divorce is final.  Jillian and Jan, both with the Masters degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy, specialize in helping people to identify those issues, have those hard conversations and set those necessary boundaries (no surprise that Jan and Jillian are divorce mediators too!)  Who gets to keep the friends, the family members, the nanny and the gym?  Good questions and ones that needs to be answered for healthy boundaries!

Here are some highlights from the episode:

4:30  Can you still have the same friends and what if the friends choose your ex?

9:00  The impact of divorce on family relationships - is blood really thicker than water?

12:30  How do you handle grandparents and visitation?

17:15  What about all the places where your kids hang out - can you share them?

22:00  Why boundaries are so key to a successful separation.

23:15  Oh no, not the nanny/au pair/babysitter!

31:45  What are Jan and Jillian's "3 Cs" and how do they help you set necessary boundaries?
