Katherine Frye is a North Carolina attorney and board certified specialist in Family Law. She teaches a course called “Child Custody: Start to finish…is there an end?” at Solo Practice University®.

Katherine and I talked at length about the following:

Technology and Family Law

• The impact of Facebook & other social media on the demise of marriage and the evidence lawyers’ use.
• How Email, webchatting, online gaming have allowed parents more ways to interact with their children
• Online calendaring/our family wizard which allows parents to communicate without actually talking

Electronic eavesdropping and e-spying:

• Federal and state laws govern what you can and cannot do
• Lawyers have to know this so that neither client nor the lawyer violates the law
• How do we find all of this stuff? (computers, cell phones, online information)

3rd party involvers:

• parent coordinators
• GALS
• parent coaches

The interview is about 52 minutes. Listen directly below.
