We break down three major celebrity divorces: Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner, and Courtney Ford and Brandon Routh. We look at what’s being reported, what’s at stake, and how these cases highlight broader themes in family law. We also cover recent developments in the UK, where journalists are now allowed to report on family law cases, and we clear up misinformation spreading online about supposed changes to US divorce laws. Finally, we dive into the legal topic of the day around spousal support. Can a judge order someone to get a job? How does employment affect maintenance? And what happens in high-asset divorces when investments generate significant income? Raif breaks it all down with practical insights.   Timestamps: 00:01:30 Jessica Alba and Cash Warren's Divorce 00:05:09 Kevin Kossner's Divorce 00:10:00 Courtney Ford and Brandon Ralph Divorce 00:13:25 UK Family Law Developments 00:15:08 Children's Department 00:22:55 Fake News on Divorce Law 00:23:50 Legal Issue of the Day 00:24:40 Can the Judge Make Somebody Work? 00:27:59 Effect of Having a Job on Maintenance 00:34:23 Need vs Reality in High Asset Cases 00:35:56 Factors in Ultra High Net Worth Cases 00:36:24 Complex Financial Considerations   Episode Links: Jessica Alba & Cash Warren Divorce: https://bit.ly/43lZVwf  Kevin Costner's Ex Engaged: https://bit.ly/4k8nxM4  Courtney Ford & Brandon Routh: https://bit.ly/4jcunij  United Kingdom Family Law Update:  https://bit.ly/45fZtCk  United States & Property Division: https://bit.ly/4mDRTYC    Handy Divorce Links: Need a consultation for your Chicago area divorce?
