Essential Lessons We Can Learn From #FreeBritney with Celebrity Attorney, Christopher Melcher on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #195

Celeb Divorce Attorney, Christopher Melcher, joins Host, Susan Guthrie this week to discuss the ongoing courtroom and personal drama that is unfolding in the Britney Spears Conservatorship matter. From her public "melt-down" to the current courtroom drama, the world has watched the ongoing drama of Britney Spears' legal issues with fascination for 13 years.  As the current legal challenges to her father's ongoing role as her conservator in the face of allegations of gross abuse of that position, the media reports are a constant barrage of information and mis-information.  This week's guest, Attorney Christopher Melcher, has done the homework and is here to give an accurate legal view of the many failings of the court system and those who took advantage of the very person the system was supposed to protect, Britney Spears. This is a fascinating look behind the scenes of #FreeBritney Movement and a cautionary tale of the havoc that greed and incompetence can wreak in the lives of the vulnerable.
