Alcohol use in custody cases rarely announces itself. In this episode of the Children First Family Law™ Podcast, Krista Nash sits down with Mike Fonesca, national sales manager at Soberlink, to talk about one of the most practical and reliable tools available to family courts today: real-time alcohol monitoring.
Mike breaks down how Soberlink works, why testing frequency matters more than most parents and attorneys realize, and how the device's facial recognition and tamper-detection technology make it far harder to game than cheaper alternatives. He also covers pricing, the financial assistance program, and how authenticated records hold up in court.
The real thread running through this conversation is trust. Used correctly, real-time monitoring gives families a credible path forward, one built on documented accountability rather than accusation.
In this episode, you will hear:
How Soberlink works, from the breath device and facial recognition to real-time compliance reports
Why testing frequency matters and what "two tests a day" fails to prove in a custody case
The three risk categories courts use to determine monitoring requirements
How tamper-detection technology exposes falsified breath samples and identity fraud
The difference between Soberlink's FDA-cleared device and cheaper consumer-grade alternatives
Pricing, rental options, and the financial assistance program for qualifying families
Why real-time monitoring builds trust between co-parents rather than simply catching violations

For most divorcing parents, the handoff between homes is treated as a scheduling detail. Dr. Michael Saini, professor at the University of Toronto and one of the leading researchers in high-conflict family dynamics, has spent years studying what actually happens to children during those moments, and the findings are hard to ignore. Krista Nash welcomes Dr. Saini back to the Children First Family Law Podcast for a conversation about his latest research, which examined 20 years of court cases to understand how judges, attorneys, and families are handling what he calls "changeovers," and where they're falling short.
Dr. Saini's research reveals that for many children, the transition between homes ranks among the most stressful parts of the entire separation experience, yet courts rarely address it in any meaningful detail.
This episode offers a clear-eyed look at what children actually need before, during, and after each changeover, and why it deserves far more attention than it gets.
In this episode, you will hear:
Why the moment children move between homes is often the most stressful part of the divorce experience
What 20 years of court cases reveal about how rarely judges address changeover planning in any meaningful detail
The hidden emotional labor children carry before, during, and after every transition between homes
How camera surveillance and litigation-driven behavior at exchanges affects children's long-term sense of safety and trust
What children actually need in the 30 minutes before a changeover and the adjustment period after arriving at the next home
Why school exchanges, police stations, and McDonald's parking lots fall short as default changeover locations
How children's voices are largely left out of changeover planning, and what changes when they're finally asked

Some of the most difficult family law cases aren't just high conflict — they're entrenched. In this episode of the Children First Family Law® Podcast, Krista Nash sits down with Dr. Marlene Bizub, a Colorado psychologist specializing in complex family systems therapy, to examine the cases that most therapists won't take and why that reluctance carries real consequences for children.
Dr. Bizub brings years of experience working with families where parent-child estrangement has reached a critical level. She breaks down what this work actually requires: why every family member must be involved, why recovery is measured in months or years rather than sessions, and how labels like "alienation" and "narcissist" often cloud the picture rather than clarify it.
This is a conversation every parent, attorney, and mental health professional in the family law space needs to hear.
In this episode, you will hear:
The difference between intentional parental alienation and protective behavior that sends the same message
Why complex family systems therapy requires every family member's participation, not just the estranged parent and child
How labeling a co-parent a narcissist or alienator often distorts the therapeutic process before it begins
Why this work takes months or years, and what parents who expect a quick fix are missing
The dangers of siloed individual therapy in high-conflict cases and what a systems-based approach does differently
Why therapists avoid court involvement, and the real cost that reluctance creates for children
How reunification cases can end in genuine recovery, even when parents arrive certain there's no way forward

Allen Levy, master's level psychologist and shared parenting educator, returns to the Children First Family Law Podcast for a conversation that goes well beyond the courtroom. Krista picks up where their last episode left off — exploring what it really takes for co-parents to function as professional colleagues, even when the relationship that brought them together has ended.
Al introduces his Affirmative Arts framework: a practical philosophy built around affirmative communication, emotional self-management, and the discipline of focusing on what you will do rather than what you can't, won't, or don't. The conversation covers dangerous words that quietly ignite conflict — including "should have," "why," and even "best interest" — and how small shifts in language can change everything.
Al also shares details on his upcoming shared parenting curriculum, designed to give parents, attorneys, and mental health professionals a concrete, affordable tool for doing the job of co-parenting right.
In this episode, you will hear:
The "job share" model of co-parenting and what it requires post-separation
Al's Affirmative Arts framework: a practical philosophy for communication and agency
Dangerous words that trigger conflict, including "should have," "why," "try," and "best interest"
The difference between output and outcome, and why focusing on what you control matters
Assertive communication as a boundary tool — stating what you will do, not what they should do
How the shared parenting curriculum helps attorneys manage high-conflict clients and build stronger cases
Al's upcoming online course — self-paced and affordable for parents, attorneys, and mental health professionals

In this episode of the Children First Family Law Podcast, Krista Nash continues her conversation with Dr. Ben Garber, exploring how structure — in all its forms — serves as a foundation for children's emotional health during and after divorce. From consistent bedtimes to bulletproof parenting plans, Dr. Garber makes the case that structure isn't about control — it's about reducing anxiety and helping children feel safe in an uncertain world.
Dr. Garber draws on more than 40 years of experience to address parents, co-parents, and family law professionals alike, using the framework of Russian nesting dolls to show how structure operates at every level of a family system. He also tackles the guilt-driven impulse to relax the rules during divorce — and why that instinct, however well-meaning, often backfires.
In this episode, you will hear:
Why structure reduces anxiety in children during and after divorce
The guilt trap — and why relaxing rules during divorce often backfires
How cooperative co-parents can operate with more flexibility, and why high-conflict parents need more rigid, court-imposed structure
The "nesting doll" framework — how structure applies at every level, from individual self-care to the courtroom
Self-care as structure — and why burned-out parents ultimately harm their kids
What family law professionals and judges can do to build better outcomes through intentional structure

Structure might not sound like the most exciting topic in family law, but it might be one of the most important. In this first part of a two-part conversation, Dr. Ben Garber, internationally recognized psychologist, prolific author, and one of the leading voices in child-centered family law, breaks down how clear boundaries, defined roles, consistent routines, and limits with associated consequences work together to reduce anxiety for children and parents navigating separation and divorce. The more conflict exists between co-parents, the more essential structure becomes to keep kids truly out of the middle.
Dr. Garber also draws on compelling research from medicine, dentistry, and public health to explain why advance orientation — knowing what to expect before entering any process — leads to better, faster, and more equitable outcomes for families in the court system.
This is a conversation that has the potential to shift everything about how you approach parenting after separation.
In this episode, you will hear:
The four "flavors" of structure and how each one reduces anxiety for children and parents
Why high-conflict co-parenting demands clearer boundaries than cooperative co-parenting
The difference between punishment and consequences, and why positive reinforcement wins
How research from medicine and public health proves advance orientation improves outcomes
Why informed consent alone isn't enough — families deserve a true roadmap into the legal process
The critical distinction between advance orientation and unethical coaching in family law
How reducing parental anxiety leads to faster settlements, lower costs, and a more equitable court system

Parents often want their children’s voices to be heard during the divorce process. However, how that happens can vary greatly depending on the family’s situation.
On this episode of Children First Family Law, Krista explains the “best interests” standard in Colorado and what families can expect regarding their child’s voice being heard in court. She outlines the nine factors Colorado uses to determine parenting time allocation, including considerations of factors used in allocating decision-making in a no-fault divorce state. Krista shares specific situations, such as alcohol or drug abuse or domestic violence, that can elevate a child’s voice in these scenarios, the ideal scenario for parenting time versus what often occurs, and ways a therapist can be utilized in a divorce case. She defines the roles of Child and Family Investigators (CFIs) and Parental Responsibilities Evaluators (PREs), as well as the drawbacks of involving either of them in a case. Finally, Krista explains how you can benefit from a child’s best interests attorney (Child’s Legal Representative or “CLR”) to attempt to curate solutions alongside parents and professionals involved in your case while representing the best interests of the child as an attorney advocate who obtains and considers the child’s wishes
Divorce can be messy and traumatic for everyone involved. Keeping your child’s best interests at the forefront and hiring qualified professionals can make the process smoother, making it more manageable for everyone.
In this episode, you will hear:
The use of the “best interests” standard in Colorado
Ensuring a child’s voice is heard in the court while avoiding an adversarial approach to the other parent
Colorado’s implementation of nine factors to determine parenting time allocation, including:
Parents’ wishes
Child’s wishes

The child’s adjustment to home, school, and community
The mental and physical health of everyone involved
The parties’ ability to encourage the sharing of love, affection, and contact between the child and the other parent
Whether the parties’ past involvement shows a system of values, time commitment, and mutual support
How far apart the parties live
The ability of each party to place the needs of the child ahead of their own needs
How no-fault divorce impacts considerations of parenting time and decision-making
Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and domestic violence, and Colorado’s statute that indicates a child’s voice should have strong consideration in these situations
The ideal scenario for parenting time versus what often occurs
A movement in Colorado toward children over 12 years old to become more actively involved in court proceedings and hearings in the dependency and neglect courts but not so much in domestic/divorce courts

Bringing in witnesses to testify to what’s best for the child
The role of Child and Family Investigators (CFIs) in Colorado, their requirements, their cost, and how they can impact the parenting dynamic
The role of Parental Responsibilities Evaluators (PREs), who can do everything a CFI can, plus do deeper analysis including psychological testing of parents
The downsides of bringing in CFIs and PREs
The benefits of a child's best interest attorney or Child Legal Representative (CLR), who they represent, the requirements they must meet, what they can and cannot do, and what they cost
A CLR’s ability to curate the right people to work with the parties involved in the case
When you should pursue a child advocate and why you shouldn’t wait too long
