Family law is really complicated, and I don't think that people realize this until they have to hire a lawyer and work through it. It is difficult to switch weekends and birthdays. It is hard to share the summer. It is a dramatic switch to a different lifestyle for sure.
Thank you for sharing this post. I found it very helpful and informative. Family law is a difficult area because of all the emotions involved in the cases, I have spent a good amount of time in family court in the Houston area. A friend referred me to a wonderful attorney, Marshall Davis Brown JR, who helped me through some tough times.
I really like this blog, It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also get knowledge, from these type of blog, nice entry. Thanks

Nice checklist!
This is really interesting, I have never viewed it from these sides before. My sister is going through a divorce right now and it is a lot of work. I think it would be such hard work to be a lawyer.

My sister and her husband a filing for divorce at the moment. She's fighting for the house right now. Both of their names are on the contract, but she wants it so that she won't have to find a new place to stay. I think that she deserves to keep the house. I hope that she can find a lawyer to help her get what she wants out of the divorce.

Divorce has an impact on your ability to obtain financial orders, and also has wide ranging impact. Many separated couples choose never to get divorced, and this too can have unexpected consequences. Consult Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers to clarify all your doubts in this matter.
