Freedom and Prosperity Podcast

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of the Freedom and Prosperity Podcast, host Desi Arnaz sits down with Judith Kaluzny, a retired family law attorney who spent 43 years navigating the realities of America’s divorce system — and has now made it her mission to expose its flaws and help families find a better way.
Judith’s journey is remarkable: a high-school dropout, mother of seven, and going through a divorce at 38, she was told to “go to work” — and chose to go to law school instead. She passed the bar on her first try and went on to build a long, successful career in family law. But after decades of litigation, she discovered that mediation — not the courtroom — is where real resolution happens.
In this episode, Judith pulls back the curtain on what really happens inside the divorce system, why the process is fundamentally broken, and how couples can protect themselves from unnecessary conflict, cost, and emotional harm.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
Judith’s inspiring journey from dropout to attorney while raising seven children.
Why the American divorce system is “fundamentally flawed” — or even a “legal fraud.”
The shocking truth about how few divorce cases ever go before a judge.
How litigation fuels conflict even when couples WANT peace.
The financial incentives that keep custody battles alive.
How attorneys can weaponize the legal system against families.
Why mediation leads to faster, cheaper, and healthier outcomes.
The need to shift from “custody” to “parental responsibility” to reduce conflict.
Why Judith believes every state should create Family Services Centers instead of courthouse-based divorce.
Judith’s stories — from five-year courtroom battles to couples resolving in weeks what lawyers prolonged for years — shine a bright light on how badly the system needs reform. Her upcoming book, The American Way of Divorce, aims to ignite that change.
This is one of the most thought-provoking episodes we’ve ever released. If you or someone you love is considering divorce, this conversation could save them years of stress, tens of thousands of dollars, and their relationship with their children.
