Joined by Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Janice Berner, Judge and Flessas explained how key financial and legal issues are being addressed in divorce cases in 2026, including child support and alimony trends, asset division in high-value and hard-to-value estates, and why prenuptial agreements are becoming more common and more important.
