JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Life isn’t always a fairytale, and when relationships take a turn, it’s important to have guidance and legal insight to move forward. That’s the driving force behind Split Happens, a new sponsored podcast launching Monday, June 2, 2025, created in partnership with Jacksonville-based family law firm Sasso Guerrero & Henderlite. The series tackles the complex, often overwhelming issues many people face during divorce and family transitions, offering practical advice, emotional support, and legal insight when it’s needed most.
Hosted by News4JAX meteorologist Katie Garner and Board-Certified Marital and Family Law Attorney Jay Henderlite, Split Happens tackles the tough conversations around divorce, separation, custody battles, and what it really means to “win” at divorce.
“Divorce is an opportunity,” Henderlite said in the premiere episode. “It’s your opportunity to live a better life than you lived before.”
Whether you’re navigating the early stages of separation or just curious about your rights in a custody agreement, the podcast offers straight talk, real-life stories, and professional insights—with plenty of candid humor and compassion along the way.
