Ep 29. Surf's Up: Lizabet Comstock v Chris Comstock

Lizabet Comstock and Chris Comstock have reached the end of their relationship, and they are bringing their case before the judge on Divorce Court. Lizabet claims that Chris was neglectful in their marriage and that he cheated on her. She says that Chris would disappear for days at a time, leaving her to care for their children alone. She also alleges that he spent a lot of money on extracurricular activities that she did not approve of, including surfing and gambling.

Chris denies many of Lizabet's allegations and similarly has his own claims against her. He says that Lizabet was not supportive of his passion for surfing and would often belittle him for it. He also says that Lizabet would often spend money on frivolous things, leaving them in debt and unable to make ends meet. Chris says that he worked hard to provide for their family and that Lizabet never appreciated his efforts.

The judge must listen to both sides of the story and decide how to move forward. Throughout the episode, the judge questions both Lizabet and Chris about their relationship, how they contributed to the breakdown of their marriage, and what their expectations were for each other. The judge also reviews evidence presented, including financial records and social media messages.

As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that there were problems on both sides of the marriage. While Chris may have been neglectful and made choices that negatively impacted their family, Lizabet was also not blameless. She had her own struggles with controlling behavior and spending habits that put a strain on their relationship.

The judge tries to help the couple see the other person's perspective and move forward with a plan for co-parenting their children while keeping their financial situation in mind. Ultimately, the judge must decide what is in the best interest of the children and how to fairly divide assets and debts between the two parties.

Through the emotional and often difficult discussions, both Lizabet and Chris come to better understand their own shortcomings and look for ways to move forward in their separate lives. As the episode comes to a close, the judge delivers a verdict on how the couple should proceed in their divorce and hopefully move towards a better future.
