Be sure to check out Shawn Philbert, lawyer at SMP Law, on the “Fractured Families Podcast” where he shares his insights as a family law lawyer who works with clients dealing with parental alienation.

Over the years SMP Law has managed to create a collection of blogs covering topics related to family law, such as parental alienation, child support, parenting time, parenting plans, spousal support, and our notable cases each year, to name a few. We wanted to share some of our blogs over the years. Enjoy!
