A Day in the Life: Real Family Law Client Case Study
In this episode, Chris Jackman pulls back the curtain on what a real family law case actually looks like, from the moment a client walks through the door to the long, often messy road toward resolution.
Chris walks through a true case involving a contested divorce with children, covering child support, alimony, and property division, and explains why he tackles these issues in a specific order, saving the most difficult and emotionally charged issue for last.
Along the way, Chris talks about why negotiation makes up the bulk of a family law attorney's work, why "best interests of the child" is such a vague and contested legal standard, and how witnesses can end up tipping the scales in a custody dispute when both parents look equally good on paper.
This is part of an ongoing case series, so make sure to subscribe to see how it's ultimately resolved in a future episode.

The Case That Changed How I Practice Law
In this episode, Jackman Law Firm founder Chris Jackman shares one of the most personal stories from his career: A case that came to him just a month before trial, after his client had spent nearly a year with another firm and felt like nothing was moving.
Chris walks through what happened next: An emergency prep for trial, a father fighting for custody of his two young children while also facing a 50/50 split of the business he'd built from scratch, and a three-week courtroom battle. The outcome wasn't what anyone expected, and it led to an international custody case that invoked the Hague Convention.
This episode is a real, behind-the-scenes look at how family law cases actually unfold.
What happens when you change lawyers mid-case?
Why aren't trial dates as fixed as people think?
And why is negotiating a settlement often better than rolling the dice in front of a judge?
If you're a father navigating a divorce or custody dispute, this story will hit close to home.
