Donuts & Divorce: A Family Law Podcast, is a podcast focusing on all aspects of family law.  BOK Law & Mediation Services, PLLC is here to help navigate the waters of divorce and separation (including the who, what, when, where and how to do it), but also provide insight on the aspects of divorce and separation that are NOT always addressed in the courtroom (how to co-parent with someone you simply may not like right now, or how to determine what you can and cannot afford post-divorce). 

Join host Dorothy O’Neil, one of the Founding Members of BOK Law & Mediation Services, PLLC, as she discusses the many topics surrounding family law issues, including divorce, custody, and child/spousal support. This podcast series is created by BOK Law & Mediation Services, PLLC.   Visit us at boklawfirm.com for more information.
