Men's Family Law Podcast

This comes from a column I write in the Santa Monica Daily Press. It's a short episode, but I get real and raw about my own father, his problems, our family issues, and the value of a dad in a child's life. 

This week I spoke with multiple New York Times best selling author Stephen Mansfield about his latest book, Men on Fire - Restoring the Forces that Forge Noble Manhood.

Men in today's society often find themselves isolated and alone after a divorce or breakup and need to restore their social support network and self-esteem. It's crucial for them to set an example for their children, especially so if they are fighting for more parenting time in family court.

In this episode I answer a question that came from Facebook from a dad about how his ex was using his learning disability of dyslexia as a wedge with their children. She was telling the kids he was stupid, which made him concerned he'd lose his kids in court. 

Learn how we deal with that in the Dad's Action Pack. 

In this episode I speak with Sylvio La Valle, he founded the Father's Rights group on Facebook and it's grown to serve men and women across the globe. We chat about how a father can increase his custodial time share, and work through the emotions of a custody case. 

The group is on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/forfuturessake 

If you're looking to increase your parenting time and need to represent yourself in court as a Pro Se (In Pro Per) litigant, don't forget to check out the Dad's ACTION Pack at

Today I spoke with CRAIG PERRA from TheMindfulHabit.com. He's helping men who have sex addiction and porn viewing habits recover their lives and control their sexuality in healthy ways.

In this episode I chat with Mark Santiago of www.empoweredman.co about what go through emotionally in a divorce/ child custody battle. He shares his story of what he faced, and how he's now turned that into a way to help the over 2,000,000 men each year that are facing the same hell. 

I also discuss my new product to help dads who are fighting for custody. It's called the Dad's ACTION Pack, and it's designed to help you discover and then explain to the judge why you're a "Great Dad". Check it out at www.mensfamilylawcenter.com/actionpack

If you're facing a court hearing, whether it's a divorce or a child custody case, you need to be prepared to speak to a judge. In this episode I share the two reasons people hire lawyers, and share some tips on how to prepare if you're going to be self-represented. 

In today's episode some guidance for those people who are looking to represent themselves in court, but still need to meet with a lawyer to get some feedback and direction. How to maximize the time, and avoid the "fluff" that lawyers, honestly, don't care about.

PLUS, the book that everyone who is going to represent themselves in any negotiation should read. 

If you've just been served with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) and/or Divorce Petition - this is the episode you need to listen to IMMEDIATELY! 

It's the end of 2020, and this horrible year is coming to an end with many couples thinking about calling it quits next year. If that is you, this episode will give you a place to start your preparation.

In this episode I talk about the long term solution of suicide to a short term problem - I'm against it. The National Suicide Hotline is 800-273-8255 and the Crisis Line for THE FATHERS RIGHTS MOVEMENT IS 907-312-5552 or email them at crisis@tfrm.us.

I speak with my friend Pat Walley of DignityCreditSolutions.com - he helps people rebuild their credit post divorce and shows them how to build a business line of credit that is separate from their personal credit history. 

In this episode I explain why you may have to pay for the lawyers and experts who are representing your ex. It's not fun, but it is legal....and I explain why representing the mother is abused by family lawyers.

In this episode I review the book THE BOY CRISIS by Dr. Warren Farrell and Dr. John Gray. Farrell is called the father of the Men's Movement and his insights and research into the impact that the women's movement has had on men is addressed in this easy to read yet comprehensive book.

SHORT REVIEW: BUY THIS BOOK AND READ IT!!!!

This is a short episode where I read what I wrote on fathers for the Santa Monica Daily Press where I have a regular weekly column

In this short episode I share about what to do if you're dating a foreign national and you have a child together. 

Also a reminder that it's National Testicular Cancer Awareness month.

In this episode David Pisarra tells the tale of a case of the Lyin' Diva, and how he proved she was committing perjury which led to a termination of his client's having to pay alimony to her. 

He goes over the California Family Code Section 4320 factors that used by courts to determine what spousal support should be, for how long and how to end it. 

In America we are losing 20-25 veterans a day to suicide. On top of that are the non-vets who are treating their depression with drugs and alcohol and overdose, or die in some other substance abuse related way.

Today we hear from Dr. Sally Spencer Thomas from the Carson J. Spencer Foundation who will share about their program MANTHERAPY and how it's working on the frontlines of suicide prevention. 

I've been telling men for years to "get clipped" or "tie a knot in it" if they're going to have an active sex life with a woman of child bearing years. In this episode I speak with Dr. Martin Bastuba, the San Diego Vasectomy and Vasectomy reversal surgeon. He is nationally recognized as an expert and this show tells men exactly what to expect in the procedure and recovery times. 

In this episode I do a quick review of A Family's Heartbreak: A Parent's Introduction to Parental Alienation.

I've used this book often to explain Parental Alienation to others, both clients and colleagues. It's a very useful and helpful book for those who are in the beginning of a Parental Alienation case.

I also have an interview with the author, Mike Jeffries, in an earlier podcast episode you can listen to for more insight into what he went through in his case. 

This week David Pisarra is speaking with Hal Rogness from Cryo Choice a private sperm bank on why men should bank some sperm, what it costs and how the process works.

It's one part of a two step process to a worry free sex life, the second part is coming up next week!
