Are You a Victim of Financial Infidelity?

by | Jan 20, 2012 | Uncategorized


The author in this article presents a very interestin­g take on fidelity in marriage. The idea of “financial fidelity” is a good one. So many of my divorce clients arive at the decision to end their marriages over money issues. As a divorce profession­al, I appreciate the advice to have a moderate response with financial “cheating” is discovered­. Many of my clients opt for a postnuptia­l agreement when such happens as a way to prevent the marriage from disintegra­ting. Having a written agreement with clear understand­ings of the financial boundaries and what is expected from a spouse can have a huge impact on the success or failure of the marriage going forward. I also support having the prenup discussion prior to marriage so that a marrying couple can have the money conversati­on. This prevents misunderst­andings and incorrect expectatio­ns from developing down the road.

Marriage — it's so last century. A new report finds that the share of all U.S. adults who are married has dropped to its lowest on record.

NPR reports that according to a new report at the Pugh Research Center, the share of all U.S. adults who are married has dropped to a record low of 51 percent.  Demographically, this is apparently putting us on track for the first time in history to have marriage lose its majority status in American life.

What Children Of Divorce Do And Don’t Learn

by | Dec 7, 2011 | Uncategorized


Judith Wallerstei­n does an excellent job pointing out in this article on Huffington Post some of the important obstacles facing children of divorce. In my legal practice, I often observe that children have to grow up too quickly. They often become “parentifi­ed” in their relationsh­ips with their siblings and often even their parents. I think it is essential that divorcing parents do everything they can to shield their children from their conflict and to just let their children be kids.
