Jamie Davis has been practicing family law exclusively for 25 years - same law firm since graduating law school. She went in thinking she'd do criminal law, took one family law class at UNC, and never looked back.

Now she's a board certified family law specialist, certified parenting coordinator, family financial mediator, and host of "A Year and a Day: Divorce Without Destruction" podcast (which started in her son's bedroom with a handheld recorder in 2017).

In this episode, Jamie breaks down the myths we all believe about divorce. No, you don't get everything if your spouse cheats. Yes, you should absolutely have a therapist during divorce (it's cheaper than therapy-ing your lawyer). And staying together for the kids? Not always the best move.

We talk prenups vs postnups, why business owners need protection before marriage, the questions you should ask before saying "I do," and why North Carolina's year-and-a-day separation law actually makes sense. Plus: why the divorce itself is the most anticlimactic part of the whole process.
