Maria Simon Featured on Stepfamily Solutions Podcast: Family Law Essentials for Stepmoms

Blended families bring unique legal challenges, and navigating them with confidence requires expert guidance. Maria Simon, Managing Partner at The Geller Law Group, recently joined Certified Stepparent Coach Cameron Normand on the Stepfamily Solutions Podcast to break down the legal essentials every stepmom should know.

Hosted by Cameron, founder of Stepfamily Solutions, the podcast provides support, strategies, and expert insights covering topics like parenting dynamics, legal considerations, and emotional well-being.

In this must-listen episode, Maria and Cameron discuss key legal topics that impact stepmoms, including:

• Protecting financial assets – The importance of prenuptial agreements when entering a blended family.
• Understanding legal rights and responsibilities – What stepmoms should (and shouldn’t) expect when it comes to custody, decision-making, and financial contributions.
• The gaps in divorce agreements – How issues like college expenses, car insurance, and other financial responsibilities can lead to unexpected conflicts.
• Setting boundaries in co-parenting – How stepmoms can establish a positive role without overstepping.
• Collaborative divorce vs. litigation – Why court isn’t always the best option and how couples can resolve disputes more effectively.

Maria, a highly respected, award-winning family law attorney, brings her experience and personal perspective to the conversation. As both a legal advocate and a divorced parent, she understands firsthand the challenges that come with stepfamily dynamics.

“More people loving a child should be a good thing—but legal and emotional complexities often make it harder. My goal is to help stepmoms feel informed, empowered, and prepared.”
