Description

When a relationship ends, it can feel like the world is breaking apart — legally, emotionally and practically. The Dear Divorce Diary Podcast exists to guide you through that difficult landscape with clarity, compassion and a child-focused mindset.


Each episode, Darren “Daz” Mort and Joplin “Jop” Higgins draw on their extensive experience within the family law system to unpack what separation and divorce really look like — not just on paper, but in real life.


They believe that families deserve dignity, children deserve protection, and adults deserve guidance that is calm, respectful and grounded in expertise rather than conflict.


Together, they explore the issues so many couples face when separating, including:

  • How to divorce with dignity
  • Understanding the family court process
  • What to expect in mediation
  • How to co-parent respectfully and consistently
  • Financial and property settlement — explained in plain English
  • Parenting arrangements after divorce
  • How to avoid court and resolve disputes constructively
  • Practical tips for separating parents
  • Child-focused decision making and emotional awareness
  • When to involve a lawyer or barrister
  • Better communication during conflict and separation


And because no two separations look the same, you can be part of the conversation.

Listeners are invited to submit their questions for Daz & Jop, with future episodes dedicated to answering real experiences, real challenges and real concerns from the people who need guidance most.


Whether you’re contemplating separation, navigating court, co-parenting, or simply trying to put your children first through the uncertainty — The Dear Divorce Diary Podcast offers steady, professional guidance to help reshape the path ahead.


Real law. Real families. Real conversations.


Subscribe, listen, learn — and know that you’re not alone.
