22 JAN 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Chelsea Pagan delve into the fascinating world of premarital planning and its positive impact on relationship satisfaction.
Premarital planning, including the use of prenuptial agreements, is often misunderstood or stigmatized. However, Gabrielle and Chelsea shed light on how proactive discussions about financial matters, expectations, and long-term goals can actually lead to increased trust, understanding, and overall relationship fulfillment.
Chelsea Pagan, a family law attorney and mediator, brings her expertise to the table as she explains how premarital planning can help couples address common issues that often lead to divorce, such as unmet expectations and poor communication.
Chelsea takes us through the different stages of premarital planning, starting with the crucial "discuss and disclose" phase. During this phase, couples openly share information about their finances, goals, and values. This lays the groundwork for negotiating a prenuptial agreement, which can help define how assets and other matters will be handled in the event of a divorce.
It's important to note that premarital planning is not about preventing love or trust in a relationship. Instead, it demonstrates respect for one's partner and a commitment to building a strong foundation for the marriage. Chelsea reassures us that while prenuptial agreements can be challenged in court, following the proper procedures makes them difficult to overturn.
Throughout the episode, Chelsea provides valuable advice, urging couples to avoid making assumptions about a partner's intentions and instead ask questions to understand their perspective. She also emphasizes the importance of revisiting premarital agreements over time as circumstances and needs evolve.
Overall, this episode presents premarital planning as a proactive approach to setting up a marriage for long-term success, rather than just reacting to problems that may arise down the road. Join Gabrielle Crichlow and Chelsea Pagan as they dive deep into this important topic and provide insights that can benefit any couple considering premarital planning.
Who is Chelsea Pagan?
Chelsea is a family law attorney and mediator passionate about premarital planning. She has over a decade of experience litigating family issues. She has used that experience to build a premarital planning course aimed at helping couples prepare their marriage for success without paying expensive lawyers and therapists to walk them through what they need to learn to do on their own. She is a prenup advocate and loves discussing relationships and marriage, including on her Podcast, Forever, but not always. Season 3 of her podcast will start recording next month (July 2024)! Her law firm, Hepner & Pagan, LLP, is located in Campbell, CA, and their passion for helping people navigate the divorce process with respect and grace has helped hundreds of clients move on to a better chapter.

15 JAN 2025 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow explores an important and often overlooked subject - the challenges fathers face in the family court system and how they can navigate the process with the help of family law attorney David Pisarra.
Mothers often have an advantage in custody cases as the "default" parent, which is why fathers need to be proactive in asserting their rights and role as parents. David emphasizes the importance of fathers presenting comprehensive evidence to the court, showcasing their engagement, knowledge of the child, and ability to provide care. This is often in contrast to mothers who are often better prepared.
The family court system can be adversarial, with lawyers sometimes prolonging cases for financial gain. David advises fathers to have realistic expectations and to focus on presenting the key evidence needed to demonstrate their fitness as parents.
To assist fathers in effectively advocating for their parental rights in court, David provides training through his "Dad's Law School." This training equips fathers with the necessary legal procedures and strategies, including guidance on gathering relevant documentation and presenting it persuasively.
Overall, this discussion sheds light on the need for fathers to be informed, organized, and persistent in order to overcome biases and secure meaningful involvement in their children's lives through the family court process. Join Gabrielle and David as they provide practical advice, debunk common misconceptions, and share valuable resources to empower fathers in their journey to build and maintain meaningful relationships with their children. Tune in to this episode for insights that will help fathers navigate the legal system and prove their worth as great dads.
Who is David Pisarra?
Over the past 24 years, he has helped thousands of dads in family court as they faced loss of time with their children. David is a multi-media content creator. His TikTok following exceeds 48,000 followers. The Men's Family Law podcast on iTunes has over 70 episodes and has been listened to by thousands of dads. On YouTube, the DADs Law School channel, David has many videos that help fathers with their questions and concerns about the child custody process.

Amanda brings a fun, friendly, and empowering energy to her sessions but can also crack the whip. After just a few sessions, her clients experience more calmness, clarity, and level-headedness, and they glow them. They learn to love their bodies and effectively cope with emotions. They become peaceful, and all their relationships benefit. They become the best version of themselves. She lives in Dartmouth, MA, and holds sessions virtually and in person in Swansea, MA. She travels to New England, holds breathwork events at yoga studios, and runs a group program called “Breath & Flex, " combining Breathwork Detox with circuit training fitness classes. She also runs a program for couples who want to create more love and harmony within themselves and their relationship.

They talk about Gabrielle's ability to overcome bullying and find her path to success. They also talk about Gabrielle's personal journey of resilience and self-reliance.
Gabrielle opens up about her experience with bullying during her middle school years, where she faced torment for aspects such as her hygiene and weight. This harsh treatment took a toll on her mental health, leading to feelings of depression. Determined to escape her bullies, Gabrielle went to great lengths, traveling longer distances to and from school. She even made the brave decision to attend a high school farther away, hoping for a fresh start.
Fortunately, Gabrielle found some relief from bullying and depression in high school. She credits her favorite teacher for recognizing her academic abilities and recommending her for youth conferences. These experiences exposed Gabrielle to new places and people, igniting her passion for travel.
Driven by her desire to make a difference, Gabrielle pursued Psychology in college and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in graduate school. It was through her tutoring jobs that she discovered her true calling—helping students succeed. Today, Gabrielle runs a tutoring business (A Step Ahead Tutoring Services) that not only focuses on academic support but also provides social and emotional assistance to students.
Reflecting on her journey, Gabrielle acknowledges the profound impact bullying had on shaping her life decisions. She emphasizes the importance of proactively addressing bullying at all levels, rather than accepting it as an inevitable part of growing up. Join us as we delve into Gabrielle's story and uncover the power of resilience and the need for a kinder, more compassionate world.

Divorce can be emotionally challenging, especially when it comes to selling a shared home or property. We discuss the importance of spouses working together through mediation to avoid lengthy legal battles.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of maintaining emotional control and open communication to successfully navigate a divorce settlement. With the help of lawyers, mediators, or counseling, many former couples can achieve a peaceful division of marital property.
