The Dirty Secret About “Amicable” Divorce (That No One Wants to Admit)
In this episode of the DivorceLawyer.com Podcast, host Devon Rifkin speaks with Erin Levine, legal innovator and founder of Hello Divorce, about the hidden adversarial nature of the traditional legal system—and how it often works against couples seeking an “amicable” split.

They explore how court filings, process servers, and legal motions can escalate tension, and why every procedural delay or motion carries real emotional and financial costs. Erin also explains how understanding the system’s design can help divorcing individuals reduce conflict, make informed choices, and protect their peace of mind. This episode exposes the “dirty secret” behind the idea of a friendly divorce—and offers practical insight into how to navigate a system that too often profits from conflict instead of resolution. Topics include: Why the traditional legal system is adversarial by design How legal documents and procedures fuel conflict The emotional and financial toll of litigation Why process servers and motions can create unnecessary distress How the system benefits from ongoing disputes Steps individuals can take to reduce emotional triggers The power of understanding the system to better navigate it
