  • Christmas is 42 days away. Best tip: buy your ex a Christmas gift.

    We're nearly a month from Christmas - time to figure out where your kids will be on the big day. Even if you've been working through the Divorced & Done steps and have a Christmas parenting arrangement in place, we'll address holiday parenting time more generally and what Courts have said historically, including why Tim Allen's The Santa Clause is our favorite family law Christmas movie.

  • Separation Agreements. The (almost) last step to Divorced & Done.

    I want a separation agreement - can my lawyer just send me the papers? Even better, can I just find a separation agreement online without a lawyer? The process of creating a separation agreement is not as quick and easy as movies and TV shows make it seem. We'll take you through the process of creating a separation agreement, and why at this final step, you'll likely want to use a lawyer.
