This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

Night out with no moon, my heart has darkened, but I have hopes.

The sun will rut tired soon.

I wish you no aid.

That's Mr. and Mrs. Smith with the song, Degrees of Separation, because today we're talking

about the hard stuff. We're talking about when you have to take a relationship apart,

how can you do it in the healthiest, happiest, and most successful way possible under the

circumstances.

My guest today on the love, happiness, and success podcast is attorney Stephanie

Randall.

Stephanie is the managing partner of Vernon Law.

She specializes in family law, and she even does parenting and custody evaluations. So she has a lot of experience

in working with couples and families that are navigating the narrow path of divorce and

she's here to share her insight and wisdom with us today. Stephanie, thank you for being here.

Of course. Thank you, Dr. Bobby, for having me on your podcast. I really appreciate the

opportunity. Well, it's my pleasure. And, you know, I, this is a challenging topic. And I wanted to

reach out to you, though, and talk about it because many times like at our practice

here at growing self and even on this podcast, really our focus is always on how do we help people

repair their relationships and create healthy, enduring marriages and partnerships that last a lifetime. So that's always priority number one of our

work. And there are situations where for whatever reason, that isn't possible or optimal. And there can be

many variables going into that.

And nobody wants that outcome.
