If your ex or the other side is telling you that your divorce lawyer “isn’t doing their job”… don’t panic just yet. In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce , Andrea Rappaport and Morgan Stogsdill break down one of the most common—and manipulative—tactics used during divorce: making you doubt your own attorney. You’ll learn why the other side often blames your lawyer when they’re feeling pressure, how this tactic is used to gain leverage, and how to tell the difference between strategy and an actual problem with your legal representation.
