Social Media Is Not Your Friend in Family Court

I had a situation in a divorce case a year so go in which a colleague's client had claimed that she was injured and couldn't work and so she needed maintenance. Well lo and behold the next day on Facebook two pictures of her and a couple of her friends out on the town partying and dancing and having a big time showed up on her Facebook page even though she claimed to have all these injuries that kept her from working. Needless to say, we then asked for a production of her entire Facebook account, it turned up nuggets of gold that we used in trying to get our divorce case settled. Facebook was not her friend that day, and we want to make sure that you don't make the same mistakes that my friend's client did as you go through your divorce. There are things that you don't want to post but let me just say that post divorce it's important as well as well as pre-divorce and during the time that you're in divorce proceedings that you take care of what you post on ...

Tips to Avoid a COVID-19 Divorce

I kind of laughed, but if did start me to thinking that perhaps there was something to what he was saying when he jokingly said he left instructions with his adult children about where he would be when he was out with his wife at all times in case they needed to find the body. We do spend a lot more time together now, and I thought that maybe we can mitigate the aggravation from just being together so much because we've been used to going to work and then coming home in the evenings and spending time together. I thought that we would call this tips to avoid a COVID-19 divorce.          I found an article in Psychology Today that gave me the background for the steps that I'm about to share. I don't hold myself out to be a relationship expert by any means, but I thoug...

My Ex Isn't Following COVID-19 Mandates

If your ex is not following government mandates to deal with COVID-19, you have options.  For example, if your ex is taking your child to grandmother or some other family member for childcare or even outside daycare, of if your ex is having an outside person come in to provide childcare, or if your ex is allowing friends to come over to visit, in my professional opinion you have the right not to send your child to spend time with your ex until compliance is verified.  This potential exposure to COVID-19 places your child in danger, and therefore, you have the right to refuse to send the child. CAUTION:  Be sure.  Don't guess.  Don't use this as an excuse to violate your parenting time order.
