Our hiatus continues as we get closer to season five! In today’s episode, we return to season one for a conversation Pete and Seth had without any guests – what do post-divorce relationships look like?

What’s going to happen to your kids and their relationship with former grandparents? Step- and former step-spouses? Former step-siblings? What rights exist to keep these family relationships together? Like ripples in a pond, families big and small alike experience a complex emotional re-wiring when met with divorce. If you’re a party getting the divorce, this part is going to be hard.

This week on the show, we’re talking all about the tapestry of relationships you have made and will undoubtedly unravel as you wind your way through the divorce process.
