Summary
This week, I am doing something on the podcast I don't normally do—featuring a story of someone within my community. My guest, L, joins me for a conversation about how her ex-husband contested their custody agreement after he learned of L's postings of adult content online. The case and the subsequent judgment ended up being a huge step for women and women's sexual liberation in divorce.
Along with her attorney, Jonathan, L discusses why it may have been easier to concede and take down the explicit online content, yet chose to fight the allegations (and ensuing custody battle) instead. Plus, Jonathan explains how this case can be used as legal precedent for future cases.
L, who is using an alias for this podcast, is a long-time member of the Should I Stay or Should I Go Facebook group and worked through my program while going through her divorce in 2021. She's a successful career executive, mom to a 7-year-old daughter, and an advocate for sexual freedom, having been a member of her local BDSM and kink communities for two years.

| 0:17.8 | I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate some of |
| 0:23.3 | the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. I've been to |

| 0:35.1 | with your sanity and your heart intact. |
| 0:45.7 | Hey, everyone. I'm doing something a little different today. Actually, very different. Today I have with me a client. And this is not something |
| 1:01.5 | that I normally do. I don't tell a lot of client stories on the podcast, as you know. But this was a story that this client, we're calling her L for the purposes of |
| 1:18.0 | this episode. She posted about it in the large Facebook group. She is a longtime member of the |
| 1:26.4 | should I stay or should I go Facebook group. She did my program |
| 1:30.3 | a couple of years ago. And she had posted about some of the trials and tribulations of this |
| 1:36.2 | particular aspect of, it was something that came up after her divorce. And then when she got |
| 1:43.7 | the ruling that she got from the judge on it, |
| 1:46.4 | she said she really wanted to go public. And she wasn't really sure how to do that. And I, |

| 1:54.8 | love to tell on the podcast. And so here she is. And she is here with her attorney telling this story because I think it's really |
| 2:06.1 | important. So L is not only a divorced mom, a longtime member of my should I stay or should I go |
| 2:16.0 | Facebook group, someone who's gone through my |
| 2:18.4 | program. She's also a successful career executive. She's the mom to a seven-year-old daughter, |
| 2:25.0 | and she is an advocate for sexual freedom, having been a member of her local BDSM and Kink |
