TB9, S13, E18 | Author/Educator Eric Saperstein — Divorce Is Expensive. Here's How Not to Make It Worse11 aug40 min

Divorce is already expensive, exhausting and painful. You don't have to make it worse.

On this episode of The Back 9, author and educator Eric Saperstein shares the lessons from his own three-and-a-half-year high-conflict divorce—and the practical steps that became the foundation of his new book, Simplify the Split.

We talk about the mistakes that cost time, money and emotional energy: treating your attorney like a therapist, responding to every angry text, fighting battles that don't need to be won, and giving up on mediation too soon. Eric also explains how he used AI to take the emotion out of difficult communication and why sometimes the smartest response is no response at all.
