A Child’s Place is Being a Child

February 18, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

To the children, the emotional huddles, the atypical outbursts and the squabbling over simple scheduling matters spell out something is amiss and very wrong. Did they do something wrong to get both parents so upset?

If kids can’t keep secrets from their parents, why do parents keep such a big secret from the children? The kids know.

If the parents are planning their transition following their separation or divorce, when do the older children participate in the plans about them?

A Family Law Lawyer’s Wish List

February 4, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever been on a crowded bus or tram and witnessed a disturbance? Did you feel for the victim? Or were you encouraged by the actions of the tormenter? Feeling uncomfortable as a witness unable to leave the situation until the doors opened at the next stop?

Imagine how many extra layers of feelings, alliances, emotions, and other distractions are clouding your focus which held your undivided attention before the disturbance began. Did you forget your train of thought? For how long were you engaged in the distraction from what you were doing?

The Incredible Power of an Apology

January 8, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

The room went silent. Anxiety slowly built. No, more accurately, it mushroomed to fill all the crevices and corners of the small room.

The client carefully announced that one of their goals to achieve in the collaborative approach was to apologize for an action they had taken some time ago. The apology was ready to be presented.

Making an apology is more than stating an interest or acknowledgment of a value held close. The client had long known that this single action had a pervasive impact on the marriage. Fear and shame had led to panic and an inability to come forward with at least an explanation of what occurred and why. Wanting a future relationship with their children was the driving motive to throw aside feelings of disgrace and apologize for past actions.

Family Business Valuations and Marriage Contracts

October 29, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Negotiating a marriage contract to treat one particular asset a special way is a common method to protect a business like Jacques’ which was built from scratch with few resources to a successful international organization. Rachel understands and agrees that Jacques’ 50% business interest which he will bring into the marriage belongs to him. But, she asks, what about her advice as an engineer without salary, her contribution as a sounding board 24 / 7, her creation and involvement in regular focus groups to test new product ideas, and all the other works she does without pay? Isn’t that worth something?
