In this follow up episode, Nadine Udorovic, Partner at Nicholes Family Lawyers, returns to unpack what actually happens when a relationship ends. Most couples only learn the legal steps of separation when they are already overwhelmed, and Nadine brings almost two decades of experience to help shed light on the parts most people never think about until it is too late.

We explore how binding financial agreements work when they are tested in real life, including why a de facto agreement becomes invalid the moment you marry unless it was drafted to survive the wedding. Nadine breaks down the crucial difference between a parenting plan and a parenting order, and why only one is legally enforceable. She also guides us through the realities of modern families, from step-parents and grandparents to teenagers who now have a stronger voice in their own arrangements.

This second instalment goes deeper into the practical realities couples face once separation becomes a legal process, giving you the information most people only discover under pressure.
