Is Your Lawyer Adding to Your Stress?
Below is a picture of a client waiting for their lawyer or mediator to call them back. I was going to edit out their skull to protect their identity, but I guess that is not really necessary. I think they have waited a pretty long time for a call back, perhaps a little too long! It seems as though almost every week I speak with someone who tells me about a person they know who had a lawyer for something and the lawyer failed to return the client’s telephone calls. Of course, they are not referring to me because I [...]
The Divorce Coach (DC) = Damage Control (DC)
I recently received a comment from fellow attorney Nancy Van Tine the other day related to my post Maintain Your Divorce Sanity! Nancy’s blog is the Massachusetts Divorce Law Monitor. Nancy commented that she has never heard of a Divorce Coach, or as I sometimes refer to them in an effort to sound hip as a “DC.” Nancy is an experienced divorce lawyer in Boston, so I think it is safe to say that if she is not sure just what a DC does, then there are lots of other people that are unfamiliar as well. So, who are [...]
Maintain Your Divorce Sanity!
Everyone knows that a divorce is stressful, but there are some steps you can take to better manage the anxiety surrounding the process. I was orginally going to call this post “The Top 10 Ways to Maintain Your Divorce Sanity” but I really felt the need to have #11. I am sure there are other good suggestions that I left off this list, so please send along any other suggestions. Also, this post assumes you were mostly sane prior to your divorce commencing. Well, here we go: 1. Realize that your divorce is your divorce. It is not your [...]
The Surprisingly Excellent Attorney – From uptoparents.org
The website uptoparents.org has some thought-provoking content that focuses on parenting and protecting children during and after divorce. I thought the section of the site on The Surprisingly Excellent Attorney was interesting. This is certainly a far cry from the material on some lawyer websites extorting the benefits of fighting and destroying your recently ex-spouse in some type of prolonged fight!

What Mediation Can Do For You
Mediation, like collaborative divorce, can empower couples facing divorce to reach their own respectful resolution without going to court. The process is guided by a neutral mediator who meets with the parties to discuss issues that need to be resolved. In divorce mediation, the goal is to reach an informed and lasting agreement that is then filed with the court. Divorce Mediation in Massachusetts is a voluntary, confidential process. This post is not intended to address time spent with family service officers at the Probate and Family Courts in Massachusetts as part of a litigated divorce or other family law [...]
Nothing is Certain, Except Death, Taxes, and that Some Marriages End in Divorce
As we all know, April is tax month, but did you also know that April is National Humor Month? National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by best-selling humorist Larry Wilde, Director of the Carmel Institute of Humor. The purpose of National Humor Month is to increase public awareness about how laughter can improve health, boost morale, increase communication skills and enrich the quality of one’s life.

Attention Couch Sleepers! Consider My Divorce Mediation Stimulus Package
Almost every week I run into news stories about how the recession is responsible for many couples staying together not because they want to, but because they have to. Quite a few folks I have met with recently report one spouse sleeping on the couch for much longer than they probably should. Although this may be good for the chiropractic industry, my personal theory is that you should really not sleep on a couch for more than two nights in a row if you are older than 25. So, is the recession really forcing people to stay together? Some [...]
