Coming from Upstate New York, Lauren brings a unique perspective, imbued with years of experience working with domestic violence victims, guiding us through the legal maze of divorces and custody situations.

The second part of the discussion takes us through the tricky terrain of co-parenting relationships. We'll learn to navigate these often-challenging situations, focusing on what's within our control and keeping potential conflicts at bay with the Biff communication method. Lauren emphasizes on adopting independent strategies like communication coaching, and mediation, and only resorting to legal action when all else fails.
