Advocating for Men’s Rights in Divorce with Carrie Schultz

Many fathers walk into the divorce process feeling disempowered. And while it is true that the judicial system has historically been biased toward mothers, things are evolving. So, what can men do to advocate for their rights in divorce and avoid losing custody of their children?

A recognized and sought-after matrimonial law attorney, Carrie is a frequent lecturer, moderator, and panelist for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education as well as the New Jersey Association of Justice.

On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, Carrie joins Katherine to discuss the most common mistakes men make in divorce and explain why so many fathers assume they’ll ‘lose their kids’ in the process. She advises men not to compromise with a soon-to-be ex before they understand their options, describing how to be amicable without agreeing to something you might regret later. Listen in to understand how the inclination to solve problems can backfire in divorce negotiations and learn Carrie’s top three things fathers should never do in the divorce process.
