What NOT To Do in Divorce: with Top Attorney Seth Nelson

The Moving On Method® Podcast

We often focus on what you should do during divorce and co-parenting, but this week we are going to focus on what NOT to do. Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Divorce Attorney Seth Nelson, to have a candid conversation about things to avoid when going through a divorce and starting your co-parenting journey. Michelle and Seth will take a behind the scenes look at:

• How to respond when your ex meets someone new
• Picking and choosing your battles on physical items
• Putting emotions aside when deciding what is best for your children
• Making decisions based on the needs of children vs the parent
• AND MUCH MORE!

Seth Nelson is the winner of TAPMPA Magazine’s Top Divorce Attorney 2022 and Super

Lawyer’s Top Attorney 2022. Seth focuses on his client’s interests, and balances reasonable

settlement options with zealous representation. His approachable, empathic, no-nonsense

style allows his clients to clearly understand the law and how it impacts their lives. “I tell clients

what they need to know, even if it’s not what they want to hear,” Seth says. “This way my

clients understand the different potential outcomes and how we are going to get there,

together.”

Seth has been involved in thousands of cases as a lawyer and as a Florida Supreme Court

Certified Family Law Mediator. With his professional and personal life experiences, and his

sound legal judgment, he has a keen ability to bring common sense solutions to difficult

problems. “The complexity of modern life and how it relates to complex divorce litigation,

especially in high-net-worth cases and cases dealing with children, demands a lawyer who has a

diverse set of skills,” Seth says.

Finally, Seth understands that the legal system cannot solve all issues that families deal

with in a divorce. That is why he hosts his podcast, How to Split a Toaster, which gives non-

legal practical suggestions for anyone who is contemplating, going through or has completed a

divorce. Episodes include, “Now You Are Alone” and “But What About the Dog” and “Post-

divorce Dating.” In its seventh season, it is available wherever you get your podcasts.

Seth was divorced when his child was very young and can relate to his clients’ issues. HE

confesses, “I am a self-proclaimed workaholic because divorce doesn’t conveniently happen

between 9 to 5, and I like to be there for my clients.” However, when he is not working, he

enjoys recharging his batteries by spending time with his son, being on or around the water and

playing with his two mini-dachshunds, known as “The Hots.”
