How does one strengthen their divorce case? You're going to get divorced. Your spouse is going to make allegations against you. You're going to make allegations against your spouse. The courts have heard all this nonsense in other cases already. Your allegations will not resonate much in court on who has a stronger or weaker case. Focus more on the merits of the case rather than on mudslinging. Hire a respectable and experienced lawyer. One who enjoys the respect of the courts. A lawyer like that will tell you what will help in the case. Your lawyer will tell you to gather evidence of your allegations. Your lawyer will counsel you to gather evidence of some level of fault you believe your spouse is guilty of. Organize your thoughts. Gather information from the documentation you have. You have to use this evidence to show the court you have a solid, stable, and regular lifestyle the court can rely on. You need to be defined by your stability. This will help you strengthen your divorce case.

You've been married for 20 years. Your husband tells you he wants a divorce and serves you divorce papers. The reason 20 years is important is not because number 20 is important. The number 20 is a symbol of a long-term marriage. There are different kinds of marriages. There's a long-term and there's a short-term marriage. There's also the intermediate term marriages. If you're married 18 months that's everybody's definition of a short-term marriage. If you had 30 years, that's definitely long-term. Six to seven years is probably your intermediate-term. 20 years most people will say it's a long-term marriage. A five-year and a twenty-year marriage in the context of property division are going to look the same. The court will divide the marital assets into half. It will be divided fairly and equitably. Equitably does not always mean half. For the most part, you will be dividing the house, the business, the cars, and the money. We will also be dividing debts. With very little exception, half goes to the wife and half goes to the husband unless you can isolate a particular debt. In a long-term marriage, the discussion of alimony will come into play. This is a discussion you won't have with a one-year marriage. Alimony will be based on certain factors.  How long were you married? The longer the marriage the stronger is the alimony case. What is the disparity of income between the parties? If there's a great disparity of income, it will be strong alimony case for more money. Is there money available for alimony? The money must be available to pay for alimony. A spouse servicing so many debt may not be able to pay alimony.

We talked about the need for due care in the context of boating accidents. Did somebody do something wrong? Did you take care of your medical needs? Did you contact your lawyer after that? Who can you pursue if you are injured in a boating accident? The analogy of a boating accident is much like an accident with a car. What if a loved one has caused a boating accident? You can make a claim. You can make a claim even against a relative. It can be a loved one.  It can be a spouse. Just because someone is related or a loved one does not exempt them from being sued by you as a result of an injury. The law requires the negligent party to be responsible.

You just found out you're a father. You have a kid. You never thought it would happen. You didn't expect it. All of a sudden you found out the child is born. You were in a relationship. Now you have a child. What are your legal rights? What are your obligations? First, we have to make sure we are in fact the father. Some girl calls you up and says you're the father does not mean you are. It will be appropriate to establish paternity. Being sure you are the father is one thing but if you have doubts, it would be prudent to establish paternity. An appropriate petition to determine paternity, a DP case, should be filed in court. The court will order a DNA test through a recognized lab. You get anyone that needs testing to get a swab for the DNA test. You get the test results. The test results rule you out or rule you in. If you're ruled in, then you are the father. You will have some rights and duties as a father. There are two most important obligations of a father. Child support. You have an obligation to provide child support according to the established guidelines. You will be seeing the child on a schedule. You will have overnights. The other most important obligation is parenting time. You will have time for your child. Parenting time is part of the formula for child support. The more parenting time the lesser will be child support.

The parties get divorced. There's a custody order regarding who gets custody on certain days. A parent gets a child during summer. The other parent does not comply. The co-parent does not return the child. The co-parent is defiant. What do you do? What are you supposed to do? It's the end of summer. The child needs to be enrolled. There are back-to-school things to do. There's a medical check-up for athletics clearances. You have to document this situation, this emergency. You have to show the court what the custody order is. What evidence do you have the co-parent is not going to comply or has not complied? Why do you need the court to intervene? With all that information, have your lawyer file a motion. A motion for emergency consideration for the immediate return of the child. You have to serve the other parent presuming you know where the other parent is. The court will give very little time for the other parent to respond. The court already gave a custody order. You can expect the court to order the return of the child. The court will cite the other parent for contempt and order sanctions. The court does not want this situation to come up every summer vacation. The court is trying to stop litigation. A party defying a court order increases litigation. Have your attorney file a motion for the return of the child.

The ex-spouse likes shooting off fireworks. You don't. You tolerated it when you were married. After the divorce, you don't have to tolerate it anymore. It's going to be 4th of July and your children will be with your ex-spouse. Can I stop my ex from setting off fireworks near my kids? Will the court grant your request to keep children away from fireworks? You won't be able to stop your ex-spouse from getting fireworks near your children. What you should do is communicate your concerns. You can always go back to your judgment of divorce. Find out if it says anything about fireworks. Do you have physical or legal custody? File a motion. The court will likely ask the reasons for this motion. The court will determine if this is a legitimate concern. It will find out if this is an attempt to micromanage the parenting time of the co-parent. The motion will most likely be denied. If the request is reasonable, the court will find a way to achieve that.

Contentious vs. Non-contentious divorce with kids. Divorces comes in different forms. Sometimes they are bitter divorces. It’s material movies are made of. It’s contentious. Sometimes it’s non-contentious. What are  the hallmarks of a non-contentious divorce? How can you strive to make it non-contentious? What are the ways you can do that? One of the benchmarks of a non-contentious divorce seem to be strategies for effective communication. The parties work out ways to handle things that’s going to come up. It could be scheduling, it can be work problems, and it could be problems with the kids. You have to work out ways to communicate effectively. If you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse have a working relationship and tend to communicate effectively, that would be great. There are couples who can’t get involve in any kind of communication without turning it into a battle. These kinds of couples may have to skip those face-to-face communication by doing it another way like communicating electronically. These couples can do it through through a third party system or the court’s own system of communicating. Another way to avoid contentiousness is to work out certain things in advance like coming up with parenting time schedule or parenting time agreement. Some parents may just not see eye-to-eye. The goal of communicating and working out things is to lessen the impact on the kids.

The question of parenting time comes up relating to the children's school schedule. The parenting time schedule is geared toward the academic year. Can you modify parenting time to suit school hours? When we approach summer, we're having 12 weeks of time when the children are not in school. In a divorce with children, a custody case will result in a visitation schedule. There will be special provisions for summertime. Your summertime parenting time schedule is going to affect your everyday schedule. Your children may not be in school but you still have to work in summer regardless. The court will come out with a provision granting you six weeks for you and six weeks for your co-parent. It seems fair but it may not work for you. It may not work for your co-parent. It's going to affect your day-to-day things. And, you still go to work. You still need to look at blocks of days for holidays. You need to negotiate these blocks of days for holidays. There's been quite a success in alternating these holidays.

Fireworks accidents in summer. Firework accidents, more often than not, happen due to the lack of know-how. Unfortunately, fireworks are made available to anyone regardless of their level of sophistication. Fireworks or pyrotechnic devices can be dangerous. A firework can be misfired or misdirected. It can be a firework thought to be a dud, mishandled, and then explodes. You can be a victim. If you are, what will you do? You have to collect evidence. There are two main things to look at. The liability and the damages. The liability has something to do with fault. Did somebody do something wrong? There should be evidence in the way of witness statements and video footage. You need to collect evidence that relates to liability. It relates to somebody doing something wrong. Next, we need to collect evidence about damages. Was somebody injured as a result? Video footage immediately after the event is very helpful. That dramatic footage of people bleeding or crying is better than medical findings coming after. It is important to document the medical a of treatment the injured had. Was there an ambulance at the scene? Was there more than just emergency treatment at the hospital? Is there intensive care? Were injuries wrapped in a plaster cast? You need evidence to establish the injuries. Consult an attorney. You need to know your rights. You need to know the time limitations of making a claim for those injuries.
