The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.
Education:Self-Improvement
As November is Family Court Awareness Month which closely follows on the heels of Domestic Violence Awareness month in October, Susan Guthrie, Esq. brings you a special Bonus Episode where the two topics are joined. Susan chats again with Investigative Journalist and Coach, Amy Polacko to shine a light on what the laws do and do not do to protect victims of intimate partner violence and coercive control, what has been done and what more needs to be done.
Amy Polacko recently wrote a revealing article for Ms. Magazine entitled, "Empowered: Women Tell Family Court Judges of Experiences With Coercive Control Using New Domestic Abuse Law" that received a great deal of attention from women and survivors of domestic abuse. As outlined in the article, one year ago, Connecticut enacted Jennifers' Law, which added coercive control to the definition of domestic violence for those seeking relief, becoming one of only 5 states to pass such protections. Amy's article looks at how the law has impacted domestic violence victims since the passing of the law, highlighting the benefits but also the many shortcomings and difficulties in applying the law in a court of law.
In this episode, Amy shares her insights from speaking directly with the women who have been in the legal trenches, those who continue to struggle with litigation abuse and some tips for managing if you find yourself in this dangerous situation. This is incredibly important information for everyone to hear as domestic violence rips at the fabric of our society.

As a divorced single mom, she is passionate about coaching women one-on-one and founded the empowerment group Strong Savvy Women to provide support, inspiration, and guidance to single women.

Sniper story. She also headed up an investigative reporting unit in Albany, NY, where she uncovered consumer scams, crime, and government corruption as part of her I-Team Investigations -- one of which exposed a loophole in the state's sex offender registry.
