🎙️ In this raw and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Alex Peterson—family law attorney, founder of Family First Legal Group, and a powerful voice for integrity in the courtroom—for a gripping conversation about divorce, custody, and the emotional battles that unfold behind every legal case.From building a 27-person practice in Naples, Florida, to confronting the mental warfare clients face during breakups, Alex shares the real truths most lawyers won’t. He opens up about childhood experiences that shaped his path, the spiritual cost of staying too long, and why most people wait until it's already too late. With brutal honesty and grounded wisdom, he breaks down the dangers of hiring dabblers, the hidden trauma of custody fights, and how structure—not peace—is what children truly need.Whether he's advocating for parents in crisis or reminding clients they only get one life, Alex challenges us to rethink what strength looks like in the face of heartbreak—and why walking away is sometimes the most powerful legal move you can make.==============Chapters:00:00 Intro04:25 Misunderstandings Around Custody & Divorce06:00 The Importance of Integrity08:05 Emotionally Charged Cases11:33 Where the "Real Work" Begins in Divorce18:05 Dabblers vs. Experts21:23 Tips For Successful Co-Parenting30:26 The Biggest Takeaway#divorcelawyer #familylaw #custodybattle #coparenting #divorceadvice #familycourt #divorcesupport #relationshipadvice #mentalhealth #divorcehelp #lawyerlife #courtcase #legaladvice #healingafterdivorce #toxicrelationships #breakuprecovery #childcustody #emotionalabuse #selfworth #knowyourworth #leavethetoxicity #divorcesucks #familylawattorney #lawyertalk #divorcecoach #divorcelife #startingover #rebuildyourlife #protectyourpeace #divorcelaw #lifeafterdivorce #divorcesurvival #custodylawyer #singlemomlife #singleparenting #truthaboutdivorce #divorcewarfare #knowyourrights #divorcelawfirm #familylawmatters #divorceprocess #legaltruths #familymatters #healthyboundaries #breakthecycle #childsupport #familylawexpert #familylawcase
