About This Episode

In this episode, Scott Trout, Cordell & Cordell’s CEO & Managing Partner, teams up with Kelly Burris, Senior Litigation Partner, to discuss the role of expert witnesses in divorce. Expert witnesses are the professionals who bring their know-how to the table, helping the court make fair decisions aligned with the law.

From child psychologists guiding parenting time agreements to financial experts evaluating spousal maintenance and asset division, these witnesses play a crucial part in shaping the outcome of a divorce. Mr. Trout and Ms. Burris emphasize that while these experts don’t make the final call, their insights are instrumental in steering the court’s decision-making process.

Thinking of navigating divorce without expert guidance? Mr. Trout and Ms. Burris weigh in, highlighting the potential long-term costs of flying solo in the legal intricacies of divorce. Tune in to gain a practical understanding of why expert witnesses are often more than worth their weight in the complexities of divorce settlements.

If you are facing divorce and not sure where to turn, contact a Cordell & Cordell divorce attorney.
