What the law says doesn’t always line up with what makes sense in real life—especially when it comes to co-parenting. In this episode, I sit down with Missouri-based family law attorney and small-town pastor Craig Ritchie to unpack the legal side of custody, parenting plans, child support, and more. With over 30 years of experience in the courtroom—and personal experience as a biological and stepfather himself—Craig offers clear, grounded insight for parents trying to navigate the system without losing their peace. We talk about 50/50 custody, who pays what and why, what judges really look for, and how to stay steady when the legal feels anything but logical.
