Each state has its own regulations regarding family law, and each jurisdiction has its own set of regulations. State laws determine custody rights, spousal support, divorce and even non-marriage issues such as guardianships, emancipation and adoption. Lawyers who specialize in family law must have a thorough understanding of particular statutes of the parties involved. When it’s time to face a life changing situation such as a divorce, adoption or child custody battle, it’s extremely vital to seek the guidance and experience of a qualified family lawyer in your area.

Adoption:
Adopting a child is one of the most common forms of adoption today. Children of single parents may be adopted when two people marry and ensure joint power and involvement of both spouses in the lives of their children. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes insurance policies and inheritance issues are not respected unless a legal connection between stepchildren and stepparents is acknowledged. Adoption essentially forms a way to ensure financial and legal protections for all children in a family.

Divorce:
A divorce is an important and final step in a relationship that needs to be addressed. Important factors such as financial, medical and emotional implications make this process very difficult. Studies have shown hat long term social, mental and physical heath can deteriorate after a couple divorces. Children are generally the most affected by the divorce as their young psyches are not as well adjusted as those of adults.

Child Custody:
Since both parents often want to maximize their time spent with the child, child custody battles can sometimes erupt into a very heated battle. These battles can have a heavy physical, emotional and financial burden on both a parent and a child. It is very important for every parents who face a child custody decision to get prepared for the case so that the personal toll is minimal and your child’s safety is secured and protected.

It is going to be a difficult period of time, but the guidance of a knowledgably attorney will help you get through it. Please contact a family lawyer today.

The Georgia Supreme Court has ruled that a husband’s obligation to pay joint marital debt was wiped out in his bankruptcy. In the case of McGahee vs Rogers, a husband incurred tax debt when he cashed in a 401(k) early. Because Mr. McGahee and Ms. Rogers, then husband and wife, filed jointly, the resulting tax debt was a joint obligation.

The divorce decree between McGahee and Rogers clearly obligated Mr. McGahee to assume full and sole responsibility for this tax debt.

After the divorce was finalized, Mr. McGahee filed a bankruptcy and listed his ex-wife as a creditor, contending that his obligation under the divorce agreement to pay the tax debt was dischargeable in bankruptcy because it was not in the nature of “support or alimony.”

Ms. Rogers disagreed and filed a motion on Georgia Superior Court demanding that the Georgia Court hold her ex-husband in contempt for failing to pay the IRS. On appeal, the Georgia Supreme Court rejected Ms. Rogers’ Motion. The Court held that nothing in the divorce agreement provided that the IRS debt was “support or alimony” and therefore could be wiped out in the husband’s bankruptcy.

What This Means to You

If you are going through a divorce in Georgia and you have joint debt with your soon to be ex-spouse, you should clearly identify your spouse’s obligation to pay this joint debt as child support or alimony. Your Georgia divorce attorney can show you how to build a paper trail for this characterization that will hold up in court.

If your ex-spouse does file for bankruptcy, you should consult with a Georgia bankruptcy lawyer to learn about your rights to object to the bankruptcy discharge and to force your ex-spouse to live up to his divorce decree obligations.

Getting Divorced and your debt:

I got divorced. My spouse was ordered to pay the credit card debts so I don’t have to: False

You get divorced. As part of the settlement, your (now) ex-spouse was ordered to pay the debts (car or mortgage note, credit cards, medical bills, etc.). Some divorce lawyers may tell you that your creditors will honor the divorce decree and relieve you of the obligations. I am sorry. They are wrong. Some creditors may. Most often, they will pursue you as well if the debt remains unpaid. Further, they will report the negatives on your credit report. This will hurt your FICO score and future ability to obtain credit for years to come. In addition, you could still be sued by your creditor(s) for (more…)

The pain of divorce is often accompanied by financial problems. Debt consolidation reduces your monthly payments making your finances easier to handle.

Unfortunately, getting divorced often means the monthly payments and debt load that was handled by two people is now handled by one. And with most debt, if it was incurred during the marriage, any of the two partners can be held responsible for it entirely. That can be an overwhelming financial shock adding to the turmoil. Debt consolidation can provide much needed relief from overwhelming monthly bills. Here are some things you can do to get your finances under control so you can get a fresh start.

1. Negotiate with your creditors. Most people don’t realize you can negotiate lower rates on your outstanding debt. Contact your creditors and explain your situation. Don’t be shy about it; you have nothing to lose and much to gain. Often, they can lower their rates because they want at least most of their money back instead of you declaring bankruptcy in which case they get nothing.

2. Make a budget. It doesn’t have to be complicated or account for every penny. You just need to have a good idea of how much your monthly expenses are compared to your monthly income. That way, you can make good decisions and not get further into debt.

3. Get a debt consolidation loan. You can significantly reduce your monthly payments by consolidating your debts. All of your outstanding debt is bundled into one loan. The monthly payments can be structured to fit your monthly budget so you can get on with your life.

A debt consolidation loan also provides the convenience of dealing with only one lender. This reduces the risk of missing payments or defaulting which will just damage your credit rating. With a single loan, you can consistently make your monthly payments - which will actually improve your credit rating.

With a debt consolidation loan, your monthly payments are fixed so your payments won’t change and you don’t have to worry about fluctuating interest rates.

Debt consolidation loans can be secured or unsecured. Secured loans require collateral - such as a home equity loan, home equity line of credit or a cash-out mortgage refinancing. These loans usually have the lowest interest rate making them the most affordable. Unsecured loans include personal loans. They do not require collateral but usually have slightly higher interest rates.

Divorce is painful enough without having to deal with the financial fallout that can accompany it. Debt consolidation reduces your monthly debt payments making your finances more manageable. And that can help you move on with your life.

My sisters and I didn’t know exactly why our parents spent their Saturday mornings driving around the neighborhood, strategically leaving water bottles along the way. We didn’t know why they were gone most of the morning and then exhausted when they came in. I mean, we knew they were running…but from what, we didn’t know. Were they running from failed marriages or from the challenges of a new one? Or were they simply running to get away from us? We didn’t give it much more than a shrug of our shoulders at the time, but thirty years later, I tend to think they weren’t running from anything, but rather running towards something.
Running is a simple sport that most healthy individuals can participate in. No matter what their level of activity is, they can do it. One foot in front of the other. But the power it has of transforming someone into a whole new way of being, is amazing. For my parents, some twenty years ago, it was definitely a way to create something different in their lives, as they tried to bridge two families together and create a “til death do us part” relationship. It was different for them, as they had basically not done much in the way of exercise at all, and since they were healthy and already thin, it really became taking each new step together…one mile at a time. Similar to how they created their life together, with family meetings, way ahead of their time and Sunday family activities, even against our will. But in the end, they became a united front, completing almost a dozen marathons and becoming the “Home Team” for all of us. I believe now, that running gave them much more than strength in their legs.

For me, running was too lonely of a hobby. All that time spent alone, meant time to think about the weather that was either too hot or too cold. It meant time to be deep in my head and uncover all the complaints I’d been dodging and it was simply time to be alone…which I never really cared for. I prided myself on my strength and confidence coming from being surrounded by others. I was the “social”one. The one that was never alone. The one, I believe, that was too afraid to be alone.
Although I always worked out, I only ran when on vacation or very short on time and never more than three miles. I don’t really know why, but I had convinced myself I couldn’t go longer than that. Until the year 2000, when I declared that perhaps if I too could complete a marathon, it could act as a metaphor for my life. That perhaps it would create possibility in my life where I didn’t know possibility even existed. Little did I know how true that would become.

Just five years after actually becoming a runner, I faced the misfortune of having to leave my marriage of 14 years. It was an impossible decision, it seemed, to leave a man who loved me dearly, to break apart a family that involved two fabulous children and to turn towards a path alone. My unhappiness had been eating at me silently for years, until one day I knew I had to find the courage to leave. I also knew no one would understand. I spent that summer basically alone in my head, repeating my favorite mantra, “in the face of fear, I will be courageous,” but knew deep inside I was as scared as possible.
After a long summer of learning to be a packer, a buyer and a seller, I quickly began to feel the strength coming back to me. One step at a time, I was handling a million tasks that seemed impossible to accomplish alone. But there was nothing that created more possibility in my life than the day the movers moved me into my new house. The one that I had bought. It seemed to take days for them to get my furniture just so, but just as the sun started to set, they were done and heading out with their empty truck. I remember sitting on the couch, just staring at the walls, listening to the silence of the house and the silence of my inner voice. For a while I didn’t move, wondering when the fear would hit me, but then without thinking, I went up the stairs, changed my clothes and laced up my running shoes. There was only one thing to do. Run.

I headed out onto my quiet new street without even my ipod. For I was alone, just where I wanted to be, feeling empowered and strong. As I returned from my run and headed around the corner, I spotted my home and began to run faster and faster. Tears ran down my face as I acknowledged that I was no longer running from anything either, but instead, towards something…my future.

Going through a divorce is a very challenging time in a person’s life. It is hard to adjust to being single again, as well as living “out of the habit” of being married, especially if you have been married for many, many years.

Eventually, you begin to think about dating, but it is suggested that you take your time. Use this precious opportunity to rediscover yourself. Think of this time in your life as an adventure to explore the real you. If you have worked outside the home combined with being a mom and wife for the last ten, fifteen or twenty years, you may have lost yourself along the way. Certainly not on purpose, but as most women try to do it all as “super” moms, many times we put our own wants and needs on hold to keep our families and jobs running smoothly!

Take a deep breath and let’s start to rediscover our true passions and say… Will the Real Me Please Stand Up!

1) Treasure Your Gifts Within Realizing we are all born as “gold nuggets” is a hard concept for many women to believe about themselves. Think about how magnificent you really are! Over time, you might have forgotten your unique gifts and are only thinking of what you don’t like about yourself or your life. Set a new intention, starting today, to list all of your great qualities and read that list everyday. Keep reading it until you believe it. Examples: beautiful smile, kindness, generosity, loving, caring, intelligent. keep going. Your list is endless, when you start focusing on your great qualities. Allow yourself to see the shining gold within. It’s already there!

2) Give Yourself A Break During and after a divorce it is common to have the feeling of grieving, similar to that of the loss of someone. Many women feel the need to stay busy to keep their minds off of this stressful time, such as working overtime or cleaning the house from top to bottom, but let this time also include pampering yourself. For example, barter with a friend or neighbor to watch your children or leave work early to give yourself this needed time. Yes, you do deserve to do something special for yourself. It can be as simple as taking a bath or a walk, going to the mall or reading a book with your favorite cup of tea. Give yourself permission - it’s O.K. Remember, the happier you are, the happier your family will be!

3) No regrets! No bitterness! Holding onto regrets and bitterness will only keep your life from moving forward. Is your inner voice working overtime with all the “what ifs” and “if onlys”? This is normal for a period of time, but ask yourself.are these thoughts serving me or helping me feel better? Will thinking about them over and over again change anything? To move your life forward, it is important to acknowledge your feelings and to learn from your past experiences to prepare yourself for the next exciting chapter of your life. Yes, there is life after divorce. Learn to let it go! Just, let it go! A quote from Buddy Hackett, “I never hold a grudge because while I am being angry, the other person is out dancing.”

4) Enjoy the Little Things Life after divorce usually means added responsibilities. If you are a single parent or are now the one responsible for the once shared to-do list, how do you handle it all without being totally stressed out? To start, learn to laugh more, especially at yourself. Learn to let things go and not take life so seriously. Lighten-up! Learn to live in the present moment. Living in the present is where all the “good stuff” in life happens. Yesterday is gone forever and tomorrow’s worries are tomorrow. Think of it this way, when one is missing this moment in time, one is missing out on one’s life.

So how do we live in the present? If you are feeling stressed, immediately leave your thoughts in your head and take off your blinders. (Blinders similar to what a horse would wear, not allowing it to see from side to side). Start to look around you. I mean really look around you. Look closely at everything. Really focus. Use all your senses! For example, if you are with your children observe them. Cherish their smiles. Give them a hug. See the true beauty of who they are and appreciate them for being a part of your life. You will start to feel your stress subside and a feeling of peace sweep over you. To be present, no matter where you are, use all your senses to pull you back into the moment. Take time to appreciate all the beauty that already exists around you. You only have to be present to see it!

5) What Makes Your Heart Sing? What really matters to you? What do you feel is your true purpose in life? If someone asked you that question, how would you answer them?

Why is it so important to be clear on what your life’s purpose is? Knowing your purpose, will give you a true sense of who you are and why you were put on this earth. It gives your life direction and helps you make clear and easy decisions concerning that direction. It’s your compass! Without a purpose, can your life be compared to a piece of driftwood? Floating endlessly in whichever direction the tide decides to take it and ending up on any beach with no will of its’ own. When you live your life based on your purpose you are living in integrity with yourself and are in alignment of who you really are in all aspects of your life - body, mind and spirit. Take this time to focus on what really matters to you. Feel the true passions that exist in your heart and write them down.

6) What Are Your Vibes Saying About You? Are you familiar with the Law of Attraction? Maybe you have heard the expressions, “What you think about, you bring about” or “The more attention you give to something, the more attention it will give to you.” When going through a divorce, your emotions can be compared to a roller coaster ride. Use this time to become reconnected to your inner awareness of who you are. Recognize if your feelings are low energy or high energy.

A few examples of low energy are stress, negativity, fear, resentment, or a sense of lack (lack of time or money) and high energy is joy, abundance, happy, positive, love or compassion. If you are having feelings of low energy, how do you make a shift to feel more of the high energy?

First, acknowledge and accept the feelings you are having. Be gentle with yourself! Your goal is to make a shift, but realize you might not be able to go from low to high instantly. Start with baby steps! Repeat step number three and become present! Be thankful for what is working in your life right now. Do something simple like pat your pet, smell a flower or, if you are in the office, take a minute to think of a previous fun time or experience you have had that could bring a smile to your face. Feel the shift you are starting to make in your energy.

Now, to amp up this high-energy feeling, think of another time of joy or something you were passionate about in your life. Keep adding these thoughts to your high-energy feeling and begin to feel great! Does it seem the people or situations around you have changed or is it you who has really changed? So, who has the power to feel their own joy? When you are feeling your high energy, this is the time to take your next inspired action. Enjoy the feeling of accomplishing something with ease and less effort!

7) Be True To Yourself During and even after a divorce, we are often filled with doubts. We question ourselves about what is right, what to do or how we feel. Should I or shouldn’t I? It seems difficult to make a decision. Listen to your heart. What feels right? What doesn’t feel quite right? If a situation does not feel right, honor your resistance by pausing or waiting. Sometimes waiting is the best thing to do. By waiting you may have allowed the situation to unfold more easily without having to worry! If a decision feels good or right, usually that means you are heading in the right direction. When we listen to our hearts, we are in integrity with ourselves. When we are in integrity with ourselves, we learn to say NO more easily.

Has this ever happened to you? You are asked to be on a committee or to volunteer for something and you say yes, even though you know it will make your schedule even tighter or you really don’t want to or have to?

How do you stop this from happening? Next time you are in this situation and you are ready to say yes, yet, find yourself having doubts, try this . STOP! Take a breath or even take a step back (this action will prevent you from saying yes). Pause! Thank the person for thinking of you, but let them know you will have to check your calendar and get back to them. When you do have time to think about it, focus on how you are feeling. Are you excited to volunteer or do you feel some resistance? If in a day or two you are still feeling doubtful, realize the timing might not be right for you. If you are still excited, join the committee and have fun!

Divorce is not easy or fun, but you can make it through this time of your life by realizing you WILL make it! Also, honor yourself and listen to your heart! Your true purpose and passions are waiting to be rediscovered within you! When you have discovered the “gold nugget” you already are, you will start to live your life with more ease and enjoy the feeling of peace. “You are truly free!”

What is the Get?

The Get is the Jewish form of divorce. The husband and wife must co-operate in obtaining the Get. If a spouse does not co-operate then whilst he/she may have obtained a civil divorce, by decree absolute, the couple will not be considered divorced within the Jewish religion.

Where possible the religious divorce should be dealt with within the same timeframe as the civil proceedings.

My husband says that he will issue a civil divorce based on adultery - does that matter?

Yes. This will have a significant impact on you and your new partner (if named in the petition).

The reason for this is that if a married woman commits adultery before she has her Get, she and that man will never be able to marry each other in a religious ceremony. The civil divorce petition will provide evidence of a sexual relationship before divorce and as a result preclude the couple from a religious marriage.

If the couple choose to have children, within the Jewish religion, they will be considered illegitimate. Consequently, this could result in their exclusion, to a certain extent, from their religious community.

My wife will only obtain the Get if I agree to her financial demands-what can I do?

It is not unheard of for one party to try and use the Get as a tool with which to make unreasonable financial demands of the other. Until recently, there was little that the legal system could do to help a person who is being denied a Get or pressurised because of it. However, recent changes in the law go some way to avoid an abuse of the religious process for divorce as against the civil one.

What to do?

If one spouse does not co-operate with the other, a new piece of legislation called the Divorce (Religious Marriages) Act 2002 can be invoked to facilitate the Get. The 2002 Act therefore assists Jewish spouses to obtain a Get (and also other religious usages where the co-operation of a spouse is required in order to obtain a religious divorce).

The 2002 Act amends an existing piece of legislation called the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 by inserting a new section 10A. This section gives the court the discretion to delay the making of the decree absolute until the husband and wife have first obtained the Get. The court will make such an order where it is ’satisfied that in all the circumstances of the case it is just and reasonable to do so.’

The application will be prepared by your solicitor and submitted once the decree of divorce has been granted. The application is supported by an affidavit, which sets out the grounds on which the application seeks the order.

If the application is successful the court process is effectively suspended until such time as the parties have obtained their Get. The decree absolute will be granted if satisfactory evidence is placed before the court, which should be in the form of a declaration with the necessary certificate. The declaration confirms that the Get has been obtained and the certificate, which has been, issued by the ‘relevant religious authority’ corroborates that fact.

Finally, for the husband and wife who are divorcing and who are halachically Jewish, in order to ensure that the Get is recognised throughout the Jewish world it must be obtained from an Orthodox Beth Din.

Getting the right type of divorce advice depends on what type of divorce advice you want and what you want to use it for. When looking for divorce advice, it is smart to clearly define what you are seeking the advice for so you can be sure to look in the right places.

Seems simple enough right?

Yes, but…lots of people who are deciding about divorce and seeking divorce advice lump the categories of divorce advice into one, and that’s a big mistake. You should seek divorce advice from different types of places for the different types of advice that you need. Certainly there’s more types of divorce advice categories, but here’s a partial list:

Divorce advice type 1:

Legal advice for getting a divorce when you are sure that you want a divorce, no matter how tough it will be to get that divorce.

When asking for this type of divorce advice while meeting with an attorney, you may be asked if you’re certain that you actually do want a divorce…if you do, don’t waver, stick to your decision. It makes sense to have a good idea of all of the parts of your life, family and materials, that could be affected or sought after. You want to have your facts, account names, timelines, etc., in mind when meeting with the attorney so that your discussion is maximized.

Divorce advice type 2:

Legal advice for getting a divorce when you are almost sure that you want a divorce, but want to make sure that the financial considerations are in order or that health of your children won’t suffer in the long run.

When asking for this type of divorce advice, you may want to consider seeking the advice of an attorney or financial planner for the financial considerations and a counselor experienced in family matters for the impact that a divorce might have on your children. The point is, split the two concerns up so that you get the chance to speak to 2 different people who specialize in each area so that you will get the appropriate divorce advice.

Divorce advice type 3:

Legal advice for getting a divorce in a case that is relatively simple and will be a clean break, no financial or other family considerations to take into account for the divorce.

This is perhaps the easiest type of divorce advice to get because it infers that you have already made the decision from an emotional standpoint and really don’t have any other considerations of deep concern. When seeking this type of divorce advice, you most likely have limited financial considerations, a prenuptial agreement, or the situation itself as amenable to everyone and you just need someone to do the paperwork.

Divorce advice type 4:

Legal and/or counseling advice regarding whether or not divorce is right for you from a psychological, emotional and financial perspective.

When asking for this type of divorce advice, you may want to consider seeking the advice of an attorney or financial planner for the financial considerations and a counselor experienced in Clinical Psychology and “personal-life” coaching for the impact that a divorce might have on you. Again, the point is, split the two concerns up so that you get a chance to speak to 2 different people who specialize in each area so that you will get the appropriate divorce advice.

Divorce advice type 5:

Counseling for emotional support when deciding whether or not you really want a divorce or are just unhappy in your marriage due to a marriage problem.

This type of divorce advice is crucial to your happiness because when you’re in an emotional state, it is tough to make lucid and rational decisions. And, if you’re wrestling with deciding whether or not to get a divorce (purely from an emotional perspective), you should do all you can to make a logical decision because how you approach this decision and the affects afterwards can be long lasting and far reaching. If you’re are struggling with finding divorce advice, you may want to talk to friends, counselors, even other family members.

But, my divorce advice to you is, do it yourself.

I’m not saying don’t talk with friends, counselors, and possibly family. What I am suggesting is that you reach the final decision of whether to get a divorce on your own, you have to live with it, no one else. The answer is inside you, you just have to get it out in a logical manner.

Whatever type of divorce advice you need, be sure that you’re directing your energies in the right direction. If you don’t separate the emotional aspects from the legal aspects of divorce advice, you might end up confused and unable to get the most out of any meeting you may have with an attorney or marriage counselor. At the end of the day, you should control your own destiny and make a smart decision based on logic, controlled emotion, and forward thinking.
