Child Custody Disputes – The Saddest Battle

June 30, 2021 By Norma Trusch

Children and divorce

One of my favorite assignments as a board-certified family lawyer was being chosen by a family court judge to represent a child whose parents were divorcing.  The reason the courts appoint attorneys for children whose parents cannot agree on post-divorce care and custodial arrangements, is to protect the children from the worst aspects of their parents’ dispute and to give them a voice in the process.  It was a gratifying job, but a frustrating one.         … [Read more...]

catholic divorce

What's A Devout Catholic To Do? Much has been written about the many changes in the Catholic Church that have liberalized some aspects of church doctrine.  But the church’s attitudes toward divorce have not changed appreciably.  And the process for obtaining an annulment can be complicated.  Familiarity with what is involved in obtaining a Catholic annulment and sharing that information with a Catholic client can be a great service. For the devout Catholic couple who can no longer live … [Read more...]
