    May 12 2026
    Gus Dimopoulos dives into a surprisingly complicated issue: 50/50 custody. A lot of people hear “equal time” and assume it’s automatically fair. But what if the system is treating 50/50 like the default solution even when it doesn’t fit the family?

    Apr 14 2026
    This episode is about what people get wrong – and right – when it comes to private investigators in divorce cases.

Jessica Zannetti, a Principal and Head of Research and Investigations at Sound Waters Intelligence, has extensive experience working alongside divorce attorneys on cases involving infidelity, hidden assets, custody concerns, and high-conflict situations. She brings a unique perspective on investigations, and how being a woman in this field can change what information people share, what gets noticed, and ultimately, what holds up legally. If you’ve ever had a gut feeling you weren’t sure what to do with or wondered when to ask questions versus when to stay quiet, this episode is for you.
