Last updated on April 8, 2021

“If you look at history, no group involved in any kind of struggle can affect change on their own,” says one dad and divorced father who has, perhaps unwittingly, spawned a seminal movement promoting fathers’ rights in the context of child custody.

In animal-loving U.S., unsurprising that pets often divorce focus

Last updated on April 8, 2021

In Georgia and elsewhere, feelings of love and closeness often go out the door with the divorce process. That is hardly unnatural, given what divorce means and entails. That is usually far from the case, though, where a pet is involved, with it being no overstatement to say that many Americans regard their cats, dogs […]

Research comparatively lacking on divorced fathers

Last updated on April 8, 2021

“[W]e don’t focus as much on dads as we do on moms.” So states a recent article on the research — or, more accurately, the relative dearth of research — that exists on post-divorce dads. As has been noted, data focusing on the lives of fathers following divorce — their mental health, their well-being, their […]

Sexism: Men and women in common, not at odds

Last updated on April 8, 2021

A recent article appearing in The Atlantic discusses the subject of men as victims of sexism, making some interesting — and, likely, for some people, some unexpected — points along the way.

Handling retirement accounts in divorce proceedings: Part II

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Our immediately preceding blog post discussed the advisability for divorcing couples in many instances to solicit the professional help of an established family law attorney with a proven background in property division matters.

Retirement accounts: a big part of the equation in many divorces

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Here’s a hypothetical that, while fictional, rings largely true in certain aspects for literally millions of divorcing couples across the country, including in Georgia. You’re getting divorced after, say, 15-20 years of marriage (maybe more). During your marriage, you and your spouse both worked, with both of you contributing assets as you could to various […]

Advice to the involved dad on custody, visitation strategies

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Laws in Georgia and elsewhere across the country have evolved over the years to more fairly treat good dads who are in court trying to seek meaningful arrangements in child custody matters.

After years of cajoling, Japan inks global custody pact

Last updated on April 8, 2021

A select few Georgia fathers and mothers know what it feels like to be “left behind” parents.

The divorce process: more fluid, flexible than many people know

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Many persons contemplating a Georgia divorce believe that the process for doing so is standard and monolithic, that is, divorcing parties hire attorneys and litigate all relevant aspects of their dissolution in court and in a formalized manner. Although that is certainly true in many cases and representative of what might be termed the “customary” […]

Prenup not an option? You might want to consider a divorce trust.
