ep. 27: Jessica Alba, Kevin Costner and Courtney Ford Divorces and the Truth About Spousal Support

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.
