Family law - and why blog? A family law case is often a very emotional and frustrating situation. Obviously, things are not going well, which is why you have consulted with a lawyer. Furthermore, the legal rules and the way families function often don't mesh well. But it is the best system we currently have to resolve familial disputes, and it is an area of law that is constantly evolving to improve the ability to resolve them amicably rather than in a courtroom. However, it takes more than a little hand holding to get through some of these cases. With that in mind, my thinking is that I should blog so that I can pass on resources or ideas that might help. As usual, this is not legal advice and you should seek the direct advice of an attorney for a particular situation.
Since issues with children seem to be the most difficult, I wanted to mention that I recommend Vicki Lansky's book:DIVORCE BOOK FOR PARENTS:Helping Your Children Cope with Divorce and its Aftermath. More info can be found at her web site, which is: http://www.practicalparenting.com/divorce.html. If anyone else has a book that they have enjoyed or which they think can be helpful, let me know at pamela.makowski@gmail.com. Books are always good, because they don't involve any technical stuff, can be put down at a moment's notice, can be highlighted and dog-eared, and can be covered so no one knows what you are up to!
