AI is becoming part of everyday life, so it’s no surprise that more people are turning to it during divorce — whether that’s to understand the process, draft messages, or try to save money on legal fees.
But when you’re emotionally overwhelmed and desperate for answers, it can be difficult to know where AI is genuinely helpful and where relying on it too heavily could create bigger problems.
In this episode, I’m joined by David Lillywhite to explore how to use AI as a practical support tool during divorce, the risks people often overlook, and where the line is between useful guidance and dangerous misinformation.
