Episode notes
Instagram Post Was A Rorschach Test

- He listed five women who received over $1B in divorce settlements to spark discussion, not to judge deservingness.
Don't Explain Family Law To The Expert
- Do not explain divorce law to a divorce lawyer; Sexton stresses he regularly argues diminished lifetime earning capacity in court.
- He authored family law guidance and teaches these arguments at law schools, so online critics often miss nuance.
Representing High Net Worth Women Is Commonplace
- Sexton represents both CEOs and spouses, and he often defends women who later win huge divorce payouts.
- He notes many businesswomen receive little spousal support during their growth while husbands sat on the sidelines.
