Date: May 29th, 2012 11:47 AM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel Yes.
Hypothetically speaking, imagine if you had an adulterous client who accused her ex of child abuse. You, of course, run the ex through the wringer. He protests innocence, but the judge sides with you and denies visitation.
A few years later, you find out through a colleague in the public defender's office that your client's boyfriend has been sexually abusing the children. |

|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:02 PM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel 1. They're actually pretty common, but I find emotional neglect and emotional battery complaints baffling. I can still do a pretty good job on these, but typically I get a colleague to look over my stuff first because it's hard for me to sympathize. If you're just asking about outright weirdness, we might have had a client who was getting gaslighted by her spouse. He would hide shit around the house and tell her she was going crazy. She caught him doing it on camera.
2. I mentioned one already: adulterous woman accused her husband of child abuse, left him for a pedophile. Another case involved the judge having an affair with one of the parties (did not come out until after the divorce settlement).
3. Sometimes, though usually they don't retain lawyers. |

Date: May 29th, 2012 12:04 PM Author: offensive multi-colored kitchen indirect expression How strongly do you feel about divorce yourself? If you were to divorce, are there certain things you'd be sure you tried first to ensure it was the best decision? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1958994&forum_id=2#20786347) |
|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:16 PM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel I would not get married. Most of the benefits can be found in a long-term relationship and marriage affords very few legal protections, especially for men (it's no picnic for women either). You're very much at the whim of the system. A lot of clients don't seem to understand how no-fault or pre-nups work.
That said, I'd be sure to initiate. Frankly, by the time either side is even threatening divorce, the marriage has deteriorated beyond repair. In my experience, judges don't really seem to reward good-faith efforts by one spouse to "fix" the marriage. It's best to make a clean break, but keep it amicable. |
|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:25 PM Author: offensive multi-colored kitchen indirect expression I think this is fair.
While I think it's not a terrible idea to "work through things," I do agree that once divorce is on the table, either party has checked out.
I also don't think people should feel pressure to marry unless they plan to have children. |
|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:28 PM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel I don't plan to have children, but as a man, I'd take zero comfort in the protections marriage affords with regard to children.
Child custody disputes are the nastiest by far. |

|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:39 PM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel If the couple had children, sure. You'd probably want some formal agreement for visitation and child support.
The mediator usually offers general legal advice and tries to give both sides an understanding of what their options are. The goal is to work to an equitable outcome and avoid conflicts. You can still retain independent counsel (in fact, it's recommended). |

|
Date: May 29th, 2012 12:51 PM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel Not really. It's usually a relief when people can be civil to each other.
There was one case when I was just starting out, but I wouldn't really count it as amicable. We had a conference where our client was going along with everything her ex said, including things she had clearly established earlier were "non-negotiable." I cut the meeting short, did a little digging, and found a domestic violence record (she had not mentioned it, but it was still carelessness on my part). Filed a restraining order and negotiated directly with his attorney from then on. |

Date: May 30th, 2012 10:50 AM Author: erotic comical factory reset button I feel differently from my divorce. I feel there is no protection in marriage but there is in divorce. Meaning, there are rules & laws & accountability, and someone's finally looking at one's behavior & actions. If it wasn't for my lawyer, the mediators, the judge, even his lawyer, there'd be no stopping his craziness. There's no accountability in marriage, and even less in a living-together non-marriage. I felt vulnerable in my first marriage, but I felt protected and chaperoned in my divorce. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1958994&forum_id=2#20791928) |

Date: May 30th, 2012 11:10 AM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel Right, I'm sure many people feel better after a divorce, for the reasons you stated. It seems like you had very capable lawyers to guide you through the process. I do think the system is tilted towards women. My view on relationships also differs; I prefer a partnership where we're mutually accountable to each other. If not, I'll walk (much easier in a relationship vs. a marriage).

This will typically be a very liberal woman who likely has other behaviors that most men find unappealing. |
|
Date: May 30th, 2012 11:20 AM Author: Mind-boggling Chapel I don't have a problem with very liberal women and have dated a few. I'm not fond of women who approach relationships as a political exercise, whether or not I agree with their politics.
At the moment, I'm dating a nice girl who accepts my views on matrimony, but doesn't exactly agree with them. |

Date: May 30th, 2012 11:48 AM Author: offensive multi-colored kitchen indirect expression I once worked with a woman whose ex owed her child support but he also had like four other kids. Because he owes her and her kid is the first of his five, she gets first dibs on his tax returns and wages are garnished until the full amount is paid out.
I've never asked, but once her kid is 18, does that likely end or will she continue to get paid until the amount he owes is zero? |

For example, a lawyer who did estate planning for the couple cannot represent either party in a divorce. We may also get referrals from mediators. Other firms rely on higher volume, so they advertise in the yellow pages. You have a few who have the "battle axe" reputation; most of their business comes via word-of-mouth.
2. I don't know, since I've never practiced solo.
3. The law is pretty basic, but family courts run on equity. |

I could not do your job at all.
Family law has to be the most miserable field out there.
Even with Criminal Law you just show up for a few court appearances and the have the Def. plead to a good deal from the Prosecutor.
But Family Law?
FUCK that, you've gotta deal with dumbasses who are fighting over pots and pans.
I hope you get the retainer UP FRONT before you file anything. |
