The discussion introduces concepts of separate and community property, and how an asset can be both. Figuring out how to divide RSUs and 401ks, IRAs and pensions often require the assistance of financial analysts who are able to provide clear understanding as to the community value aka the portion that is jointly owned.

I am Scott Levin, a seasoned peacekeeping attorney, and I am joined by the Brook Olsen who is a high conflict divorce coach who shares my belief that a collaborative path to resolution is generally much better for a divorce, whether it involves narcissism or any other personality challenges.

We discuss the skepticism surrounding mediation in such fraught circumstances.  And we get into how strategic coaching and a genuine understanding of each partner's journey can transform seemingly impossible disputes into agreements that honor the interests of the whole family. 

We also contrast mediation with the  harsh realities of litigation's impact on children and parents, and stress the imperative of prioritizing kids' well-being to achieve a collaborative co-parenting dynamic.
