EP 25: Don’t Post, Don’t Panic: Divorce Strategy for Assets, Evidence, and Daily Life
What can quietly damage your divorce case before the court even gets moving?
This Behind The Case episode features attorneys Tina Campbell and Heather Ogier from Turner Monahan PLLC, focusing on the decisions that can either stabilize or complicate a divorce from the start.
A key topic is online behavior during active conflict. Posts made in frustration often create new problems, not solutions. Heather says, “Don’t post about the divorce at all.” The discussion explains why keeping things neutral online protects both strategy and peace.
They also break down delays in divorce cases. Sometimes one spouse is emotionally unprepared. Other times, the case lacks complete financial and property information. Tina’s line captures it: “What are we dividing?” Without complete records, timelines stretch and agreements stall.
Another strong section covers property panic and aggressive threats. The attorneys explain that no one has the final word just because they act first. “There’s always recourse,” Tina says, describing how courts can order return of items or financial adjustments when needed.
Key discussions in this episode:
(17:25) Biggest social media mistake during divorce
(17:59) What slows a divorce case down most
(18:45) Spouse threatens to take everything?
(19:24) One step people forget before filing
The episode ends with one practical theme: preparation before reaction. Budgeting, living arrangements, school routines, and transportation planning are not side details. They are central to how the next phase of life will actually work. Tune in to know more!

EP 24: Divorce Questions Friends Really Ask: Money, Kids, and Court Truths in Texas
What do you tell a friend when divorce feels overwhelming before it even starts?
In this episode of Behind The Case, attorneys Heather Ogier and Tina Campbell from Turner-Monahan PLLC walk through the real questions people ask in private, before they ever call a law firm.
The conversation starts with money, especially when one spouse suspects accounts are being hidden. Heather challenges listeners to slow down and ask better questions first, while Tina shares a practical step many people miss: secure documents early, before access disappears. As she puts it, “pieces of paper disappear, account passwords change, access gets limited.”
From there, they tackle one of the hardest parts of family law: children. The episode focuses on how parents can prepare kids for change with support systems already in place, instead of waiting for a crisis moment. Tina also offers a reminder many parents need to hear: “kids deserve two sets of happy parents.”
They also address the pressure to “stay together for the kids,” fear around filing first, social media threats during separation, and what to do when someone lies in court. One line captures the legal strategy behind it all: “How do we prove it?”
Key discussions in this episode:
(1:52) Hidden money before divorce: first steps
(3:36) Scared to file for divorce with kids
(6:09) Staying unhappy for kids vs divorce
(8:26) Divorce with no financial control
(10:50) Ex threats during divorce
(13:45) “I caused the divorce”: case impact
(16:11) Want divorce, but family says no
If you are dealing with uncertainty around finances, parenting, or next steps, this episode gives you a grounded look at what matters early and what mistakes can cost you later. Listen now and come back for the points most people do not think about until it is too late.

EP. 23: How Texas Divorce Really Works: From Spousal Support to Custody and Mediation
Big divorce questions tend to show up all at once. Tyler Monahan and Tina Campbell take on several of them head-on in this candid Behind The Case conversation.
They begin with spousal support and why the word “alimony” causes more confusion than clarity in Texas. Tina explains that qualifying for spousal maintenance isn’t common and isn’t automatic. Tyler walks through how the Texas Family Code draws hard lines around what courts can and cannot do.
Custody shifts the tone of the conversation. “Best interest of the child” sounds reassuring, but Tyler explains how subjective it can be once it’s in a judge’s hands. Tina adds that outcomes can depend on credibility, timing, and the courtroom itself.
Mediation closes the discussion, with Tina explaining the mediator’s neutral role and why agreements reached there often work better long term. But she’s clear about one thing: once a mediated settlement agreement is signed, there is no undo button.
Key discussions in this episode:
(0:49) Alimony vs spousal maintenance in Texas
(2:26) “Best interest of the child” explained
(4:51) What a mediator does
(6:53) Mediated settlement agreement is binding
