The Post-Separation Abuse Podcast

Hosted by Danielle Black


A no-fluff, evidence-based podcast for parents navigating post-separation abuse, family violence, coercive control, and high-conflict separation and divorce - with a relentless focus on protecting children in a system that too often fails them.


Hosted by Danielle Black, Australia’s leading specialist in child-focused post-separation parenting, this podcast is not about "amicable co-parenting at all costs", outdated ideologies, or adult notions of fairness. It is about understanding how abuse frequently continues through parenting arrangements after separation - and what genuinely child-centred decision-making looks like when risk, fear, or power imbalance is present.


Each episode challenges the myths that place children in harm’s way, including Australia’s dangerous obsession with 50/50 shared care, the misapplication of "friendly parent" ideals, and the expectation that protective parents should endlessly compromise to keep the peace.


Drawing on developmental science, research-based evidence, trauma-informed practice, and lived experience, Danielle breaks down:

  • How post-separation abuse actually operates
  • Why many standard parenting frameworks fail children in high-conflict cases
  • What evidence-based, defensible, child-focused parenting really requires
  • How to move from confusion and self-doubt to clarity and confidence


This podcast is for parents who are done minimising risk, done being gaslit by systems and professionals, and done prioritising adult comfort over children’s safety and development.

Expect direct language, research-backed insight, practical guidance and a few cuss words here and there - not platitudes, false balance, or pressure to accept arrangements that don’t sit right - because children’s wellbeing matters more than adult fairness. Always.

    109. Working as intended - Part 2: What an Independent Children's Lawyer (ICL) actually is
    2026/06/17

    Nine hundred and fifty dollars. An online module and a one-day workshop. That's the specialist training that qualifies a family lawyer to represent your child's best interests in court - and that's the starting point for part 2 of Working As Intended.

    In this episode, Danielle walks through the structural reality of Independent Children's Lawyer accreditation in Australia, including the Australian Institute of Family Studies finding that there are no uniform professional development requirements for ICLs across jurisdictions.

    From there, the episode pivots into an argument you won't hear in most family law commentary - that the pre-1975 system, however sexist in its assumptions, was accidentally more aligned with what attachment science would later confirm than the reformed system that replaced it. And what the 2006 transactional lens cost children.

    If you've ever wondered why the person appointed to represent your children's "best interests" appears unfamiliar with what those best interests actually require - this is the longer answer.

    The episode opens with a brief clarification refining two specific points from part 1.

    The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is the structured way through this work - built for protective parents equipping themselves to advocate for their children with the knowledge the system never required its practitioners to have.

    108. Working as intended - Part 1: What your lawyer was taught (and what they weren't)
    2026/06/10

    What your family lawyer was taught - and what they weren't.

    The first of four episodes on the architecture of the Australian family law system.

    Eleven mandatory areas of study to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia. Family law isn't one of them.

    The system isn't rigged. It isn't broken. It's working exactly as it was designed to - and the problem is what it was designed for.

    This is the first of a four-part series on the architecture of the Australian family law system. The system was built to adjudicate disputes between adult parties - to resolve property, allocate parenting time, and produce court orders. It was not built, in its foundations, to see children.

    And when we ask that architecture to do something it was never built to do, it produces, predictably, the outcomes we often see - children ordered into arrangements that are at best inappropriate, and at worst doing serious and lasting harm that could be prevented.

    In this first episode, I look at one of those foundations: how the lawyers inside the system were trained.

    There are eleven mandatory areas of study required to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia - known as the Priestley 11. None of them is family law. None of them is coercive control. None of them is child development. None of them is trauma. None of them is post-separation abuse. A specialisation that, for most family lawyers, rests on a single elective subject - if it was taken at all - and on whatever they "pick up on the job".

    This is the foundation. And it is producing, predictably, what foundations like this produce.

    In this episode:

    • The focus: the system is working as designed; the problem is what it was designed for
    • The Priestley 11 - the eleven mandatory areas of study to become an Australian lawyer, none of which is family law
    • Why this is a structural argument, not an attack on individual family lawyers
    • And, in the closing minutes - what practising family lawyers themselves say about the training gap, in their own words

    For protective parents navigating this system, the work I do in the Blueprint is built for exactly this - becoming the expert in your own situation, because, as this episode shows, the people advising you may not be. It's there if and when you want to go deeper.

    Coming next: what an Independent Children's Lawyer (ICL) actually is, and what an ICL was actually trained to do.

    Support: If you are in Australia and need to talk to someone, 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is available 24/7. In an emergency, call 000.

  • 107. When 'parental alienation' is actually coercive control

    107. When 'parental alienation' is actually coercive control
    2026/06/04
    "Parental alienation" is one of the most weaponised terms in family law. In this episode, Danielle Black takes the term apart, puts something more precise in its place - and explains why the protective parents on the receiving end of those accusations are almost never the ones doing the harm.Your child loves you. They may simply not feel safe to love you.This is the reframe I want every protective parent who has watched their child pull away to carry, because it changes everything."Parental alienation" is one of the most weaponised terms in family law. It is invoked, again and again, by parents accused of abuse to discredit the parent who has tried to protect their children from them. It is also gestured at to name a phenomenon that is genuinely real: one parent deliberately damaging a child's relationship with the other. The same term carries two very different things, and that ambiguity is precisely what makes it so easy to weaponise.In this episode I take the term apart, and put something more precise in its place - drawing on the work of Dr Emma Katz, the current Australian legal framework, and what I have learned from years of working with protective parents through exactly this. I address gender carefully, because the statistical pattern matters, and it is not the whole picture. And I offer two things to anyone living through any version of this: a framework for staying in your own lane when you are the one being accused, and a way of thinking about recovery and connection if your relationship with your child has been damaged.This episode follows episode 105. Coercive Control: What It Is, and What It Isn't. If you haven't heard that one, I'd recommend listening to it first as it sets the foundation this conversation builds on.In this episode:Why "parental alienation" survives despite being scientifically discredited - and how it functions as a coercive control tactic in its own right Dr Emma Katz's reframe: parent-child relationship sabotage, and Child and Mother Sabotage (CAMS)A note on gender and direction - most often, but not onlyWhat the current Australian family law landscape (post-2023) actually says, and how it differs sharply from the United StatesStaying in your own lane: a framework for responding to accusations from a grounded, protective placeRecovery and connection when your relationship with your child has been damaged: presence over pressure, autonomy over fixingIf what I've described is your life - whether you're facing these allegations or living through the sabotage itself - the full version of everything I've worked through here lives in the Blueprint: Module 19 for this, and Module 17 for the coercive control underneath it.
