Did Facebook Help Ruin Your Marriage?

It is a sad fact that today, many people put their personal life and  private business online--and much of it is on Facebook.  Amazingly, many people do not really understand how Facebook is linked to everything--- and we mean EVERYTHING.  There is not much privacy left these days, despite online sites telling us there are rules for privacy.



If you're getting divorced, considering divorce, or have a plan to leave your spouse, you can almost be sure that if the spouse you are leaving is addicted to Facebook or similar sites, he/she will be talking about you.  This means Facebook is where attorneys look for dirt on the cases we see. Why?  Because many people lie to the spouse but go on Facebook and tell a completely different story?
This is actually quite common.



This means basically--that if YOU have been posting on Facebook and then tell the Court a different story--- you will probably be wrecking your own case, especially if you have talked about drunken episodes, partying and drugs, and anything illegal of course. Medical marijuana is not illegal if you have the script, but if you gave the MJ to your kids, that could become problematic?

We think in today's gadget world-- people are simply over-wired, over connected, and persuaded to keep buying gadgets....then the kids want the gadget toys, and the trouble starts. Kids start defaming each other, get their parents involved, and next thing we see is a parent assaulting another child's mother?  If this seems far fetched, it's not, since that case is currently pending in court. Parents should control their kids, but instead, we have seen parents that tell their kids to fight other kids.

Why Pay to "Settle" Cases When You can Win??

Remarkably, some attorneys are in the business of charging fees to "settle" cases when you could have done that yourself....often they call this "mediation" of cases, and we don't mean mediation as to child custody.  We mean mediation-- of  all issues. PITFALLS OF MEDIATION.....Y OU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AND YOU  DON'T KNOW YOUR RIGHTS !! This attorney's past experience with such cases usually means that one client forces the other to cave in, while the client who caves in doesn't even realize that he or she caved in when it was not necessary.  OR-- one party knowingly concedes a major issue, without realizing just how major the issue is (because he/she has no attorney representing him/her) -- and then loses his/her ass, because he/she thought they were "saving money" when that was not the case. For example, attorney has seen this done where one client who was earning $85k a year gross, vs the other party was earning

Is Trial Required in Your Case?

Most cases in Family Law may not require a trial or long cause hearing or hearings, BUT if a hearing requires taking testimony, then normally that hearing goes on the long cause calendar. This can get expensive due to the time and evidence preparation and the planned cross examination, depending on how many witnesses are needed.  To avoid the time and expense, if you have no big issues that you can't solve then you may not need a long cause hearing at all. Unfortunately, some cases will require such a hearing or trial. Although this can become rather costly, it some cases it will be worth it, especially if you are owed money, property, or the kids were wrongly taken from you; if false (provably false) allegations were used to gain money/property/custody, then you may not have much choice in order to change the status. Family law has some very specific time limits on how long you can wait before the statute might run on certain issues-- many of these Codes, especially Family
