Summary
Family court can feel like chaos when emotions run high and truth gets lost in the noise. But what if the real advantage isn’t arguing harder… it’s collecting evidence smarter? In this episode of lovelustlaw, Michele Locke sits down with Courtney Gilmartin, founder of Monarch Consulting Group and creator of the Monarch Method, a powerful system born from her own experience navigating high-conflict litigation and post-separation abuse. When the system failed to see what was happening, Courtney stopped reacting, and started building her case like a business. Using timelines, spreadsheets, and linked evidence, she created a clear, structured narrative that exposed patterns and cut through “he said/she said” conflict. Together, Michele and Courtney unpack what really happens after separation; how control tactics escalate, why communication becomes a weapon, and how children and finances are often used as leverage. They share practical strategies most people never hear: preparing before filing, consulting multiple attorneys, keeping communication in one channel, and mastering the “detach and document” approach. They also break down parenting coordinators, tools like OurFamilyWizard, and why reactive messages can quietly damage your credibility in court. At its core, this episode is about shifting from emotional survival to strategic control, and knowing when protecting your peace matters more than prolonging the fight. **DISCLAIMER** The information shared in this podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.
