Divorce is a painful reality for many couples and their families. It's really a three part process - legal, financial and emotional - and used to mean a long and drawn out courtroom process. For that reason, many couples are turning to collaborative divorce, a process that's gaining momentum in Virginia and across the nation. Collaborative divorce  is different because it's a method that tackles the legal, emotional and financial aspects of divorce by bringing couples, attorneys, mediators and family counselors together. We'll discuss how collaborative divorce works with attorney Mary Commander, mediator Karen Richards and financial planner Lonnie Broussard - all three of whom were instrumental in bringing collaborative divorce to Virginia.

Last school year, Norfolk Public Schools made a lot of headlines, and not always for a good reason. Testing controversies, layoff worries, and questionable classroom leadership overshadowed some of the school system’s great successes. As we head into a brand new year, Norfolk welcomes brand new school leadership. We’ll discuss plans to address those problems, and keep moving forward with new superintendent, Dr. Richard Bentley, and new school board chair, Dr. Kirk Houston Sr.
