High-Conflict Divorce, Legal Abuse & Protecting Your Children with Lisa Johnson
In this episode of Bent Not Broken, Deborah speaks with Lisa Johnson, co-founder of Been There, Got Out and a leading voice on high-conflict divorce and legal abuse.
Lisa shares insights from lived experience and landmark legal work—her self-represented case, published in the Connecticut Law Journal, is now legal precedent, and her testimony helped expand domestic violence laws to include coercive control.
Together, they unpack red flags of high-conflict divorce, financial abuse and hidden assets, choosing the right divorce attorney, post-separation legal abuse, and how to protect children from parental alienation. This episode offers clarity, validation, and hope for anyone navigating custody battles or an impossible ex.
