Revenge in Family Law: When Getting Even Gets Ugly

The Ex-Files - The Divorce and Separation Podcast

In this solo episode, Alex teams up with producer Matt to dive into one of the most emotionally charged topics in family law: "Revenge". Whether it’s smashing antiques, posting online rants, sabotaging parenting arrangements, or even the dark world of revenge porn, Alex explores the many ways people try to “get even” after separation—and why it almost always backfires.

With legal insight, personal stories, and a healthy dose of straight talk, Alex unpacks:

• Common acts of revenge and how they show up in family law cases
• The legal consequences of destructive behaviour
• How the court treats false allegations, harassment, and emotional abuse
• Why dragging kids into disputes is never the answer
• How revenge can impact property settlements, credibility, and even parenting time
• The increasing role of social media, smartphones, and AI in family disputes

This episode is a cautionary tale for anyone tempted to act out during separation—and a reminder that maturity, support, and sound legal advice are far more powerful tools than payback.

Tune in to hear real cases, real consequences, and why playing nice isn’t just good advice—it’s good strategy.
