In this powerful and timely episode of The Ex Files, Alex and Liza explore the complex intersection between property settlement and domestic violence in family law. Proposed reforms will reshape how courts consider the impact of violence on financial matters, and the hosts explain what this means for separating couples and their legal teams.

Tune in as they discuss:

• The leading case of Kennon v Kennon and how it paved the way for property adjustments in DV cases
• The importance (and difficulty) of proving that violence affected a party’s contributions
• Emotional abuse, coercive control, and the challenge of showing causation
• How new laws coming into effect in June 2025 may change the landscape
• Whether these reforms will help—or hinder—the resolution process
• The risk of misuse, systems abuse, and what this means for lawyers and self-represented parties

This episode offers deep legal insight with a candid discussion about how the law is evolving—and whether it's moving in the right direction.
