Open Marriage & How it Can Impact Divorce A Year and a Day: Divorce Without Destruction

Join us as we tackle the intriguing and often taboo topic of open marriages and their potential effects on divorce cases. In this episode, Jaime is joined by fellow Gailor Hunt attorneys Melissa Essick and Grace Massarelli to discuss the legal implications that arise when couples have consensual non-monogamous relationships. Interestingly, they have recently seen an increase in divorce cases involving open marriages.

Discover what defines an open marriage, why couples consider an open marriage, the importance of communication and boundaries, and how it can influence custody, alimony, and equitable distribution claims. Jaime and her colleagues discuss the importance of a written contract, which can show intent, although it’s not legally binding in North Carolina. The legal implications on divorce are still a very much gray area in the state, but this episode will help to unravel this complex situation from a divorce standpoint.
