The Ex-Files is an Australian podcast designed to help you navigate divorce, separation, parenting arrangements, property settlements and other family law issues with confidence.

Topics include: • The first steps after separation • Parenting arrangements and children's issues • Property settlements and financial separation • Divorce and de facto relationships • Family violence and safety concerns • Mediation and dispute resolution • Child support and financial obligations • Common mistakes and costly traps • Court processes and alternatives to litigation • Practical strategies to reduce conflict and move forward Whether you are considering separation, recently separated, in the middle of a dispute, or supporting someone who is, The Ex-Files provides trusted information to help you understand your rights, your options and the road ahead. Our goal is simple: to help people separate better, make informed decisions, and move forward with greater confidence and less uncertainty. New episodes released regularly.
