Hosted by a practising family solicitor, I welcome former clients and others with lived experience to join me in honest, compassionate conversations. In family law, what happens inside a marriage is rarely taken into account unless it reaches the high threshold of conduct — meaning many emotional realities never make it into the courtroom. This podcast gives voice to those truths: the struggles unacknowledged, the experiences dismissed, and the realities labelled irrelevant. Real talk, grounded guidance, and empowering stories for anyone moving through divorce.

    Divorce - Mr Myth v Mrs Truth

    Mr Myth v Mrs Truth  10 Myths That Make Divorce Harder And The Truth That Makes It Easier  In this solo episode, host Paulette Watson, divorce lawyer and founder of Your Divorce, Your Journey, breaks down 10 myths people carry into divorce, myths that create fear, confusion, and unrealistic expectations.  Inspired by a recent client who believed she’d automatically keep the house because she’d paid the mortgage for fourteen years, Paulette explains why so many people are shocked when they learn how the law actually works.  This episode clears the fog, calms the panic, and gives listeners the grounded truth they need to move forward with clarity.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why courts don’t punish bad behaviour Why 50/50 isn’t a rule. Why leaving the family home doesn’t mean losing your rights. Why no‑fault divorce means nobody can block the process. Why sorting finances “later” is risky. Why courts don’t favour mothers. Why lawyers don’t want you to fight. Why earning more doesn’t mean giving more. Why pensions matter more than people think. Why private agreements still need a court order Key Takeaway  Divorce is hard enough without carrying stories that were never true. These ten myths create fear, conflict, and false expectations, but once you understand the truth, everything becomes clearer, calmer, and more manageable.  About Your Host  Paulette Watson is a qualified, SRA‑regulated family lawyer specialising in financial matters after separation and divorce.
