Sexual Harassment #MeToo

It's a conversation, it's a movement, it's shaming the perpetrators, but, it will never change what happened.  

It happens on the street, in the workplace and in divorce cases.  Women who are singled out. Why? Simply, because they are viewed as objects. We dress nice, we take care of our bodies. Not for recognition; but for us, we know it's the only one we'll be able to live in.  

Judges, it's not to surprising when a male Judge/Prosecutor/You?  sides with the perpetrator. But when it's a woman Judge/Prosecutor/You? who, won't even let you speak it's infuriating.  

Women don't even support other women.  In divorce, it's often the other woman or man's mother - who knows it's happening and says nothing. Because she thinks it won't happen to her, because she's different. It's the women who standby, in the workplace or on the streets - as another is defamed and look away.  These women actually knowingly add to and enable the onslaught.   

Silence and/or Speaking Out, both have their repercussions.  In every instance the defamation slapped at the victim has widespread repercussions, it labels her, it separates her from friends, co-workers.  Oh, you can say 'well they were never really friends'.  The truth is it happens with family members pitting children and others against her. Often with notorious outrageous lies.  Every area of "her" life dissected and every area of his life shielded.  

#Weinstein the name in of itself, like his acts; offers up an appropriate contradiction - wine or beer? 

How about water? Essential to life. Not hot, because women are not teabags, to be left to brew and then carelessly tossed aside.  Even a drop of water is a universal need. Imagine if you filled it.

Like the Truth, it would be refreshing, reviving even.

The Practice of Collaborative Law




What do lawyers learn in law school? 
They learn to win... 

What makes Collaborative Lawyers different?  
They start - by thinking about how to solve problems.



The Who, What, When, Why and How Collaborative Law works. 




Collaborative Lawyers, like Lincoln, 163 years ago, Discourage litigation. They Persuade neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker these lawyer's have a superior opportunity of being  good men and women. There will still be business enough.
adapted from--July 1, 1850  Notes for a Law Lecture by Abraham Lincoln

The Family Law Arena


Robert Anderson once said "In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage"; sometimes that simply does not happen and your happily ever after can take a slight detour. 



In Family Law, that detour can have multiple players who can change your life, beyond your control; but if you know your rights and you know what's coming and you choose your Attorney wisely like the one in this interview you'll understand why

Reminding you to compromise whenever you can ...
