Finding Your Divorce Attorney: 3 Ways to Ensure You Hire the Right One

June 10, 2016 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

Hiring the right attorney has the potential to save you time, money, and peace of mind; however, this is no easy task – nor should it be. Getting a divorce is often one of the most difficult, exhausting, and emotionally draining times in a person’s life.  It is of utmost importance to hire the attorney […]

Trouble in Springfield: The Simpsons and Changing Family Structures

June 22, 2015 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

The Simpsons has become a symbol of American Television with its hysterical spoofs of current events and iconic characters. After 26 seasons, The Simpsons will be addressing a new topic in its 27th season that has had a steady increase in American life- legal separation and divorce. Executive producer Al Jean told Variety that in […]

Domestic Violence and The Rebuttable Presumption

June 17, 2015 /1 Comment/in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

Acts of domestic violence so often occur behind closed doors. Domestic violence has now been recognized as a “public policy issue with major implications for the health and safety of women and children.” Many surveys have projected domestic violence as the number one cause of injury to women in the United States. Unfortunately, the nature […]

Your Holiday Child Custody Visitation Schedule

December 12, 2014 /1 Comment/in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

December is a holy time of the year, encompassing the celebration of many religious holidays and spiritually significant days. December may also, unfortunately, be the time of year that religious differences arise between ex-spouses, which may not have been present during marriage. When parents have divergent religious beliefs, it may be difficult to come to […]

How Much Does Divorce Cost?

July 22, 2014 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

Divorce can be really expensive. For example, the 2007 Connecticut divorce  between travel entrepreneur, Peter Tauck, and his ex-wife racked up around $13 million in legal fees. The bill reflected two years of highly-contested litigation costs, including nearly 700 filings and an 86-day trial. It is common for such strikingly high-cost divorces to reach news […]

How Facebook Can Affect Your Divorce

July 2, 2014 in Family Law, In the Community /by Gretchen Boger

Last February 2013, a New York Father was awarded sole custody after a Mother utilized Facebook to “insult and demean” her ten year old child. The Court found that Father was “more able to provide a stable and nurturing environment” for the children, citing Mother’s “inappropriate use of the Internet and lack of remorse or […]

A sperm donor who signs a document waiving his parental rights doesn’t have to pay child support, right?

June 30, 2014 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

The answer is: not necessarily. Early in 2014, a Kansas man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple while also signing documents waiving his parental rights may have to pay child support anyhow. “I donated sperm and that was it for me,” he told CNN. A judge ruled otherwise, saying that he must pay child […]

Mediation: Because Litigation Isn’t Always The Answer

April 2, 2014 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

For many couples, divorce mediation could be the best way to dissolve your marriage, protect your children, and maintain a mature relationship with your spouse.

Beware: Sign Your MSA With Care

March 12, 2014 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

A Marital Settlement Agreement (or “MSA”) is essentially a contract between a divorced couple that memorializes the division of property and debt. The document also allows the parties to include almost anything they desire in the agreement, such as who will provide support for adult children. The MSA is usually incorporated into the final judgment […]

Paternity Woes: Timing Matters

February 26, 2014 in Family Law /by Gretchen Boger

In Californian family law, there are a few important presumptions.  Most have to do with marital property. However, one presumption is all about paternity.  In California, a man is presumed to be the father of a child that is born to his wife during their marriage.* In a recent case, this presumption complicated matters for […]
