Is Your Child More Resilient Than You?
I often hear parents say their children are "resilient" when talking about the negative effects their divorce will have. I always find it interesting that these parents are giving their children more credit than they give themselves. In most situations these are people who have found themselves "unhappy" or "unfulfilled" in their marriage.
...Divorced, Single Moms
If you are a divorced, single mom, you’ve had to heal from the pain of your divorce plus take on thee responsibility of doing the majority of the childcare. You also have to put food on the table and a roof over the family’s head. On top of those things, you naturally want to date and hopefully enjoy a fulfilling sex life.

Divorce Lawyer: Key to Divorce
Divorce refers to the dissolution or the legal end of a marriage. Every state has its own legal requirements governing when a divorce may be granted. These legal requirements may include a residency requirement, grounds or a reason for the divorce, among others.
———————————————————————–
———————————————————————–
The grounds for divorce may vary from being fault-based and no-fault based. All these requirements vary from state to state. Certain exceptions like ‘Irreconcilable Differences’ and ‘Irretrievable Breakdown’ are common no-fault grounds for divorce in almost all states. Your divorce could be the most important financial decision in life, as well as one of the most nerve wrecking. In such a circumstance, the key person who can see you through this is a divorce lawyer.
The divorce lawyer helps you in making extremely important financial and emotional decisions like child custody, property divisions etc. You must choose a lawyer well versed and specializing in Family Law.
You can look for a good lawyer by asking around, consulting your friends, relatives and acquaintances. A divorce lawyer with references will be more helpful than the one who is completely unknown to you and all people around.
When you first meet the lawyer, give all case facts. The fee quoted by the person will be a rough approximate as the amount of legal work involved is not very clear. Usually, they charge by the hour, and a retainer fee as an advance payment may be desired by the lawyer. You are at liberty to interview a few lawyers before choosing one to represent you in court.
To be on the safe side, it’s a good idea to get from the lawyers the following facts:
• The relevant experience he/she has in Family Law and number of years of practice in this field.
• Steps involved in the divorce process as well as expected time frame and legalities involved.
• Filing fee and the fee that any additional legal assistants employed will ask for.
• Inquire about the Retainer Agreement policy of the lawyer/firm.
• Billing cycle of the lawyer.
A good lawyer will answer all queries, and will try to address any concerns that you may have about legal implications or your case in general.
A good divorce lawyer:
• Will always be prepared for all your hearings.
• Will know exactly what your expectation from the case is.
• Will not be able to win all hearings.
• May not be able to answer your calls 24*7*365.
Once you and your spouse start the proceedings, do not sign any paper for your partner without express knowledge of your divorce lawyer. Litigation and negotiations are little subjective so ask your lawyer about his/her policy in this matter.
A good divorce lawyer is invaluable to your case, so you should choose one carefully. Also, once your case starts, do not change lawyers unless it is absolutely necessary as this may also harm your case. In case you are looking to change divorce lawyers, make sure that you get all information from the previous divorce lawyer such as who is the judge, necessary papers etc, so a smooth transition is possible. Once you place your trust in a lawyer, do it completely and assist him/her. After all, it is your own life.

3 Tips from a Florida Personal Injury Attorney
Kathryn (Katie) Fenderson Scott discusses three tips for personal injury claims in Florida:
1. Make sure your lawyer doesn't get more in contingency fees than you receive in your personal injury case in Florida; get this guarantee in writing when you hire a personal injury lawyer. Also, know how your lawyer charges for costs in your personal injury claim (ie. do they guarantee that they will only charge for costs if a recovery is made).
2. Don't save money on your car insurance by skipping UM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage; BI and UM are optional coverages, but you need UM coverage - save money somewhere else.
3. If you are upside down on your car (ie. if you owe more than your vehicle is worth), make sure you have GAP coverage; if your car is totalled in a car accident the at fault party only owes what your car is worth - not what you owe, so if you are upside down - the GAP coverage fills in that GAP.

Temporary Court Orders
There are many issues to decide in a divorce case and it can take from several months to, at times several years to work out all those issues. A temporary court order is used to keep the status quo from the time the divorce is filed until a final divorce settlement agreement is negotiated

Estate Planning - What You Need to Know about Living Wills
A living will is often included as part of an estate planning package. The living will specifies whether you wish to be kept alive under certain circumstances, such as when you are in a terminal condition with no hope of recovery. You can specify whether you want food and water withheld, whether you want to be kept alive by mechanical means such as artifical respiration. A living will does not dispose of your property and you still need a will or trust to accomplish that. I recommend a living will as part of all estate planning packages because without one, you may be kept alive against your will for long periods of time while family members battle it out in court over your condition and what should be done. You can save yourself and your family a great deal of heartache and pain by simply completing a living will.
