“Collaborative Divorce” May Increase the Cost of Divorce
“Collaborative divorce” is marketed as a cost-saver for clients, but is it really? We all know that settlement is less costly than litigation. The issue is not whether “collaborative divorce” is less expensive than litigation, but whether it permits participants to spend less than they would if they employed more conventional settlement approaches. Most lawyers [...]
Malpractice Issues

Reaching an Agreement or Preparing For Trial
After disclosures have been completed, it is time to start negotiating settlement. For example, who will keep the house? How much support will you pay? And for how long? Who will have the children for Christmas or Hanukkah this year?
Because both of you have completed full and thorough disclosures, you are both now in a [...]
Disclosures of Finances
Frequently in relationships, one person knows more about their finances than the other. California is a community property state. This means, all property acquired after the date of marriage, before the date of separation, except for gift and inheritance, is community property. Community property assumes the notion that even in relationships where only one spouse [...]
