In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey continue talking through legal issues of reality TV, this time digging into the world of Sister Wives. From the complexities of property ownership and inheritance to health care decisions and estate planning, the hosts unpack what happens when legal systems don’t account for polygamous family structures. Using Coyote Pass as a case study, they explain how lack of legal marriage impacts real estate rights, medical decision-making, child custody, taxes, and more.

While recognizing the personal freedom of spiritual marriages, they emphasize the importance of legal planning, like health care proxies, wills, and contracts, to protect everyone involved. The conversation also touches on public policy concerns and why legalizing plural marriage remains unlikely. Looking ahead, Lauren and Lacey tease an upcoming episode on fertility law and reproductive rights, highlighting how modern family structures continue to challenge outdated legal norms.

In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, hosts Lauren and Lacey reflect on Father’s Day through the lens of their own personal experiences. Kicking off with a quick legal Q&A about locating a will and navigating probate when one isn't readily available, the conversation soon shifts into an emotional discussion about the complex roles fathers play in their children's lives—especially for millennials.

Lacey opens up about her strained relationship with her father, sharing vulnerable stories about abandonment, longing for connection, and the emotional toll of growing up without the stability and love she craved. She draws a poignant parallel to a recent Teen Mom episode, touching on themes of accountability and the need for children to reclaim their narratives. Lauren offers a contrasting but equally powerful perspective, recounting her own experience with a supportive and present father, as well as the challenges her husband faced growing up with a largely absent, troubled dad and an overbearing grandmother.

Together, they explore how different father figures, and how the presence or absence of them shape us as individuals and parents. The episode closes with love and gratitude for their current partners and a Father’s Day tribute. It’s an honest, emotional, and insightful conversation that will resonate with anyone navigating family complexities during this time of year.
