230: Divorcing a Narc Hoarder- Attorney Jafari

Welcome into the Young Dad Pod—whether you're stacking your kids’ snack drawer, figuring out who gets the houseplants in the divorce, or just trying to protect your peace—thanks for being here and tuning in.

Back with us today is Padideh Jafari, a family law attorney with 22 years of experience who made waves in our last conversation about narcissistic abuse and male victims of domestic violence. Today, we’re digging deeper into those themes—and opening the door to a new, often overlooked issue in family law: what happens when you're divorcing someone who is a narcissist and a hoarder?

From the emotional toll to real concerns about child safety and living conditions, this is the kind of conversation that more parents—and especially more dads—need to be having.If you are in SOCAL and need legal help for family law, divorce law, mediation or collaborative law- https://jafarilegal.com/
