Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
Marriage is a romance, but legally, it is also a financial partnership. While no one anticipates separation, a prenuptial agreement acts as a crucial roadmap to protect your assets and save you stress down the line. But if you have already exchanged vows, is it too late? Absolutely not. Whether you are engaged or celebrating an anniversary, you can still secure your future.
You need to calm down in court and stop emailing him multi-page letters asking him to intervene in your cases. I think it's the tenor of our times, Sunshine, the statewide coordinating matrimonial judge, told a room of more than 100 attorneys at the Bar Association's Family Law Luncheon. I need to urge everyone to take it down a tone.
Getting divorced or separating in Sweden is much simpler than in most readers' home countries, and men and women are treated much more equally, according to the readers who answered our survey. But not everyone welcomed these differences. Of the 17 readers who answered our survey, eleven said they were impressed or even surprised by how simple and fast the divorce process was in Sweden. One, an Indian chef in Gothenburg, said it took just two weeks to complete.
From disagreements about sugar intake to debates over vegan diets or fast food, the question of what children should eat and how much control parents should exert often becomes a flashpoint between divorced co-parents. I see this issue play out as a family law attorney, not just at the dinner table, but in courtrooms and custody agreements. Food choices can become a battleground between parents as their children are transitioning between households.
Between us, we have three children, ages 8, 6, and 2.

I'm a dad to two boys (13 and 11), and I just divorced their mother a couple of months ago. We're currently all still living in the same house together, but I'm going to move out at the end of the calendar year. I'm writing because I know that my ex-wife has poisoned the mind of my oldest son to the point where he barely talks to me and meanwhile gushes over his mom.
Here at Kaleidoscope, the newly minted 8am's inaugural conference, lawyers gathered to hear about the dangers lurking in their pockets. Rather than being happy to see us, the phones they lug around carry a ticking ethical timebomb poised to erupt as their terminally Millennial clients demand to talk about their cases over SMS. It's not an outlier scenario anymore. Mark Palmer, Chief Counsel of the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism, explained that 59 percent of clients want to communicate with their lawyers by text.
Surrogacy has no federal regulation, leaving it up to states to set the rules if they choose to allow it. California is considered a surrogacy-friendly state because it has clear laws around the process.
Most people who have ever owned a dog don't consider their canine counterpart to be property; they're part of the family. However, until recently, at least from a legal standpoint in New York, that wasn't the case.
"A police officer was allowed to use his badge to put me in jail in exchange for a sexual encounter with the mother of my children, and he still has the power to arrest any citizen. There is no accountability," Trejo said last week through his attorney.
