In this episode, we cover major celebrity stories and real-world relationship issues. We start with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s reported divorce, Adin Ross’s defamation lawsuit, and Akon’s wife filing for divorce days before their 29th anniversary. We also talk about Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper’s relationship, the latest Coldplay scandal, and Dave Grohl’s family life.

The discussion then shifts to how rising mortgage costs are keeping people in their homes longer, the effect of Kentucky’s equal custody laws, and the wider impact of 50/50 custody legislation on families. Raiford Palmer answers listener questions about imputed income in Cook County, what happens when couples are separated but still legally married, and how to deal with a spouse opening a new bank account after a divorce filing.

We close with a look at Raiford’s book, the role of social media in educating people about family law, and new dating trends like “missed connections,” “monkey barring,” and “shreking.”
