Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent.

Financial security is a big thing for me. I don't know why, but if a guy isn't sorted financially, I feel like I should just run. I'm ashamed to admit it and I probably didn't give certain good guys a chance, but I've worked so hard and can live comfortably and have savings and I don't really want to have to sacrifice that for anyone else and have them mooch off me. I think I need therapy to overcome this. Am I being immature?

I’m irritated with my friend and myself. She tested positive for covid and I likely have it. She had symptoms the day she saw me (scratchy throat, body ache) & rather than cancel or let me know she had symptoms of something - she was quiet about it and met up with me anyways. Now I have the same symptoms (scratchy throat & body aches) & will likely have to quarantine for 2 weeks. I will get tested but boy am I irritated. Ive been social distancing this entire time and it only takes one person to

My husband and I are both very ready to start a family. For those who have finished their PhD while pregnant or with a young child, do you have any regrets?

~6 weeks pregnant (IVF and PGT tested embaby) and spotting again.
First time was last week. I freaked out. Went to doc, they said everything is fine.
A few days later it started again. Very light, brown.
Anyone else experience this? Reason to worry?

Lately I’ve been waking up feeling like I don’t want to do anything. Feeling tired from lack of sleep/not great sleep and I feel like I’m behind on work, sometimes even when I’m not necessarily behind. Could be bc we have a baby and “down time” is no longer the same. Anyone ever feel like this? What made you feel better?

Any recommendations for an ob-gyn or tips for finding one on short notice in Vancouver? Friend who is trying to get pregnant just moved there from the US and is having a hard time finding someone! TIA!

Thank you for starting this bowl! I just turned 50. I had my one and only child at 41 and went straight into menopause. My symptoms were perhaps confused with postbpatrum and nursing hormone symptoms but bow my hair is dry and frizzy yet somehow also oily and my skin lacks luster and I gain weight so easily. Working from home for eight months has definitely hanged my body shape and not for the better!

NY family lawyers- should a prenup address all points in the context of legal separation AND divorce? Or just divorce? Drafting a prenup and wondering what the standard is.

Any NJ family law attorneys looking to make a move?

Are there any CA family law firms looking to contract out work (legal research, drafting briefs, disclosures, forms, discovery, etc.)? I have over 6 years of experience and am well-versed in family code and case law. (My attorney is on family leave so we don't have the workload I'm used to right now, and my husband might be switching jobs with a pay cut, so it wouldn't hurt to earn some extra money.)

App for writ of HB filed and served (not by sheriff) with no order for hearing filed yet there is a hearing date set. Does my client have to go? He lives in a different county. I think it's a ploy for OC to be able to properly serve him in court. Debating on whether or not to show up. I entered a special appearance and mtn to dismiss for this motion only. Do i go and risk getting served in a county far away from my client's home?

New attorney here! Currently, I’m a child advocacy lawyer, but I want to get into family law (divorce, custody, etc.). I’m constantly advised to steer clear of family law; but is it really THAT bad??

Making the move from personal injury defense to family law/ TE. Any advice to help with the transition? I’m a 3rd year.

HYPOTHETICAL: Your divorce client found what is likely very illegal drugs in their spouse’s suitcase (they innocently borrowed the suitcase). There’s no legitimate chain of custody here for an arrest. How would you use this in the custody case? Would you simply have police pick it up from your office and fill out a report (knowing they won’t test the substance for a definitive conclusion)? The type of presumed drug exits the system within 4 days so a court ordered drug test may be useless.

If your client hired a life coach/consultant to help them through a family law matter, what would you want them to focus on and what’s hands off?

This is a long shot but anyone well versed or have a contact for family law in Ghana? Issue- client believes marriage in Ghana was invalid because no papers registered there with the appropriate court clerk office.

Let's talk unhinged pro se opposing parties. We have one that emails the entire firm every few days with these SCREEDS that are like weird stream of consciousness accusations of baseless criminal and unethical conduct.

Everything we say seems to get twisted.

We have a high paying client that texts us ( me the other associate and the partner) at a late hour - usually 3 a.m. the first time the client did it, the partner wasn’t on the thread so I told him about it and he said he’d talk to the client. Now the client is doing it again. It has once again disturbed my sleep and I can’t go back to sleep when I start my work day in 2 hours. I’m pissed. What should I do?
