    Divorce is often seen as a turbulent chapter in life, overshadowed by feelings of fear, separation, and scarcity.

    Ep. 146: Why Win-Lose Negotiation Fails in Divorce with Derrick Chevalier, EVP of Harrison-Chevalier, Inc.

    Many people cling to their legal entitlements during divorce, seeing them as non-negotiable rights. However, as negotiation expert Derrick Chevalier reveals in today’s episode, this mindset can leave both parties worse off.

    Listen in as he shares tips for keeping your emotions in check during divorce proceedings, the value of viewing divorce from the child’s perspective, and more. You’ll also learn how a stay-at-home parent’s contributions—when calculated at retail value—can sometimes exceed the breadwinner’s salary, challenging traditional views of financial contributions in marriage and divorce settlements.
