Both men and women can be victims of domestic violence - and the evidence can be overwhelming sometimes. But when is it best to push your DV case forward in front of a judge? And when does it not serve your best interests in the long run? In this episode of the Modern Divorce Podcast, your host Billie Tarascio talks with Family Law Attorney Julie LaBenz about when and how to press your case, particularly if you're doing it without an attorney. They'll explain what to expect and how to maneuver the courtroom when a judge may not necessarily think it's in a child's best interest to name one of the parents as abusive. So frustrating, right? If you're dealing with a DV case, no matter what side you're on, this is a must-listen!
