The major focus of my practice for the past sixteen years has been family law. Under that broad definition, I have tackled the standard “divorce” cases, paternity cases, guardianships, domestic partnership dissolutions, “Marvin” cases, and prenuptial agreements.
I have had the unique opportunity to work in a full-service firm surrounded by outstanding lawyers. With their able assistance, I am able to provide clients with expertise they will not receive at a boutique or solo firm. For example, in cases where more specialized issues may arise—i.e., tax, real estate, or “probate” issues (when spouses die in the middle of a divorce)—we are able to step in with our resources and help those individuals in a knowledgeable and efficient manner.
This chapter is my own view of how our economic recession has affected the practice. Although the law moves forward, it cannot resist slamming headlong into the “brick wall” known as real life. Lost jobs, failed businesses, bad investments, and declining real estate values add considerable stress to relationships. Many couples choose to wait until they perceive they can afford to split up. For those who cannot wait, counsel must find creative ways to meet the demands created by financial turmoil. Toward the end of the chapter, I will try to project where things may be headed in various areas of family law.
