You’re not alone—and the problem may not be what you’re asking for, but how you’re negotiating. In this mini episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce , Andrea Rappaport and Morgan Stogsdill break down one of the most common (and costly) mistakes people make during divorce negotiations—and how to fix it.
