"Love your kid more than you hate your ex."

In this comprehensive, deep-dive interview, Robert sits down with 30-year family law veteran and divorce coach Erin Schaden to pull back the curtain on the "wasteland" of family court. This isn't just a conversation about law—it's a survival guide for parents dealing with high-conflict personalities, narcissistic exes, and a legal system that often feels irretrievably broken.

What we cover in this full session:

The High-Conflict Playground: Why the courtroom is a "magnet" for narcissists and how they use litigation to stay connected to you through chaos.
The 80/20 Attorney Rule: Why 20% of lawyers thrive on conflict, and how high-conflict people "find their own" in the legal pool.
The Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) Crisis: The danger of under-trained "neutrals" and the "Great Delay" that keeps families in limbo.
The "Kitten & Blanket" Analogy: A powerful look at how childhood trauma creates adults who are addicted to conflict.
Radical Solutions: Erin’s proposal for a pilot program to bypass traditional evidence rules and give judges the power to be "Deciders."
The "Dads in the Middle" Debate: A raw discussion on judicial bias, and why men often suffer in silence during divorce.
The Success Roadmap: Erin’s "Awareness, Acceptance, Action" framework for finding stillness before filing.
