the business of breakups

I had a kidney infection. It was super painful. Unlike any pain I had felt before. I felt alone. What can we do so that our clients are not so “Very Alone” too?

Affairs, cheating, stepping out, etc. on your spouse can create undercurrents (and sometimes full out tidal waves) in finalizing family law cases.

Matters of heartbreak are complicated. What actually physically happens to cause one’s heart to break?

What if we practiced family law like violence against women was not an anomaly but a likelihood? A reality?

If we want lawyers to have longevity and health (in all forms) in the practice of law we are going to need to model kindness more; speak about kindness, embrace it and practice it.

Our clients live with the long-term consequences of their family law matters. Our conduct as lawyers on a file can make this process better or worse and we need to check ourselves as family law practitioners and really listen to our clients.
