Stephen Steele brings nearly five decades of family law experience to this revealing conversation about what really happens in divorce and custody cases. Drawing from his 47-year career, Steele offers a rare glimpse into the evolution of family law and shares critical insights that could save clients thousands in legal fees and heartache.

The conversation tackles persistent misconceptions about divorce law, particularly regarding property division. "What a lot of people misunderstand is the idea of equitable division of property," Steele explains. "We have here in Georgia the thinking that everything is divided equally. That's not necessarily true." He clarifies that only the marital estate gets divided, and determining what belongs in that estate becomes a crucial battleground during divorce proceedings.

Steele provides exceptional practical advice on custody arrangements, warning against common mistakes that harm children. Rather than focusing on counting days to achieve perfect 50/50 splits, he advocates for arrangements that prioritize children's needs for stability and routine. "Trying to split it down to counting days and trying to make the days match is not the kind of thing that is good for your child," he notes, adding that judges and guardians often view parents who fixate on equal time.
