🎙️ Episode 5: When Co-Parenting Feels Like Crisis Management

Co-parenting should feel like teamwork. But what if it feels more like crisis control?

In this episode of Love and Law with Elizabeth Yang, we take a closer look at the real-life challenges of co-parenting with an unstable or unpredictable partner. We begin with a public story: Brittany Cartwright, from Bravo’s The Valley, recently revealed how her ex, Jax Taylor, yelled at her in front of their child and made co-parenting so volatile that she had to require drug testing before visitation. Sadly, stories like these are more common than you think.

• 💔 What happens when co-parenting breaks down emotionally?
• ⚖️ What legal protections exist when one parent is inconsistent or unsafe?
• 🧠 What do you do when parenting together starts to feel like parenting alone?

Through a fictionalized dramatization inspired by real events, Elizabeth explores the emotional weight of parenting with someone who keeps crossing the line—and what your legal options are when it’s time to set firm boundaries.
