Meet Sabrina Osso

Sabrina Osso from Osso Safe is here to talk to Seth and Pete about violence in relationships, particularly when its part of the divorce process. What do you need to do to stay safe if you’re the one suffering the abuse? How should you talk to your lawyer about it?

It’s a difficult thing to sort through but when you're in this situation, how do you figure out how to escape? But were there warning signs early on that you could’ve seen? And what should you look for if you think you might be suffering abuse of one form or another?

It’s a wide ranging conversation about a difficult – but very important – subject.

Plus, we have a listener question all about divorcing a lawyer and figuring out timeshare for the kids.
