Episode 344: Parenting Plans, Support, and Legal Truths with Renee Bauer

Episode 344: Parenting Plans, Support, and Legal Truths with Renee Bauer

This episode is all about parenting plans, spousal support, and the biggest legal truths people miss when they're divorcing with kids. I'm joined by award-winning divorce attorney and My Next Chapter's legal expert, Renee Bauer, who brings over two decades of family law experience to this conversation.

We get into how courts are shifting toward shared parenting, why some parenting plans need two pages and others need fifty, and the real story behind modern alimony. We also talk about the legal roadmap inside My Next Chapter and why having good information early can save you time, money, and heartache.

✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

What you'll hear about in this episode:

  • How custody language has shifted from "visitation" to shared parenting and why that shift matters (3:23)
  • What happens when someone demands 50/50 but can't follow through (8:18)
  • Why parenting plans range from simple to extremely detailed and how to know what level your family needs (25:23)
  • How My Next Chapter pulls legal, financial, and emotional guidance together so you're not navigating alone (30:23)
  • The big things Renee wishes people understood before hiring a divorce attorney (35:08)
