In the latest installment of DadsDivorce Live, host Dan Cuneo, of family law firm Cordell & Cordell PC, and Rick Ortiz, of DadsDivorce.com, visit with Dr. Wednesday Martin, author of "Stepmonster: a New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do." 

Dr. Martin talks about her new book and the misinformation from the stepmothering industry:

Books for stepmothers tend to perpetuate certain myths. The myth of the blended family and the myth of the maternal stepmother are the most glaring examples. The real problem with many books for stepmothers is not what they imply, but what they actually say. The fact that some of these books’ directives have become a virtual mantra, the unassailable golden rules of stepmothering does not mean that they are right.

DadsDivorce Live host, Dan Cuneo, discusses the role of Mediators with Cordell & Cordell, P.C. attorney, Kristin Zurek, J.D..  In this first episode of our "Family Law Professionals" series, we explore the role of the mediator in the Family Law system.

It is important to understand the role of the Mediator in your case in order to move most smoothly through the family law system. Our attorneys discuss the cost of mediation and even how to deal with conflicts that may arise from mediators who do not fit your needs, as well as the discretion that must be practiced by professional mediators, and the importance of understanding your mediation agreement before signing it. 

Because clients often go into mediation without their attorneys, our family law professionals explain the importance of understanding the mediation process before going in.
