Do I Actually Need a Divorce Lawyer?
In this honest and empowering episode of The Candid Divorce Lawyer Podcast, host Kimberley Davies is joined by content creator Daisy Harris-Reid (aka Mum About Town) and family lawyer Alice Balcombe to talk candidly about divorce, early legal advice and the real impact of choosing the right divorce lawyer.
Daisy shares her deeply personal journey of divorcing at 30, navigating separation with a young child, and rebuilding her identity after marriage. She reflects on how starting her Instagram platform Mum About Town helped her rediscover herself — and how calm, compassionate legal support completely changed her experience of divorce.
Alice, the lawyer who supported Daisy through the process, offers clear, practical insight into:
- Why early legal advice can reduce stress and legal costs
- How no‑fault divorce has changed the process
- When you may (and may not) need a lawyer
- Why empathy, transparency and rapport with your lawyer truly matter
- How to protect children’s wellbeing during separation
- Making agreements legally binding without creating conflict
Together, they challenge stereotypes around divorce lawyers, highlight the power of respectful co‑parenting, and share reassurance for anyone feeling overwhelmed at the start of a separation.
If you’re thinking about divorce, in the early stages of separation, or simply want clearer, calmer guidance on family law, this episode will help you feel informed, supported and less alone.
