86: Elise Buie - Thrive Through Divorce

Elise is a high conflict divorce attorney who also has her own divorce story.  Elise’s divorce involved Hurricane Katrina, multiple moves around the country, and, ultimately, a co-parenting plan where she lives with her kids and new husband in Seattle and her ex-husband comes out to visit and live with them one week each month.  

After working through her own divorce, Elise decided to dedicate her law practice to helping other families thrive through divorce.  Listen in to hear Elise share:

• The biggest mistakes most lawyers make in representing people in divorce
• The power and advantages to mediation
• How to stay out of court, save a ton of money, and get what is truly best for your children
• What true co-parenting looks like
• The truth - you can be a horrible spouse and a great parent
