Be wary of what you divulge here.. The confidentiality rules are stricter than most attorneys realize.

Represented wife who was having affair with 16 year old student (she was his HS teacher). Husband found out after having them relentlessly stalked by PI. Turns out he was “married” to 3 other women, each with three children, along with the two he had with my client, the legal wife, so his !GOTCHA! Moment didn’t have quite the effect he thought it might. And I didn’t have to hire a PI. Working in small Northern MI town @ the time, they all heard their husband was getting a divorce & showed up in my office to tell me that was impossible, all right around the same time, two with babies on their hips that were not only exactly the same age & sex but could have been twins. I got my client down there, we had a come to Jesus meeting, & by that afternoon, I had 4 clients. And this ass hat acted like everyone was breaking his heart & I was offending him every time I looked @ him, asked him a question, refused to allow him to talk to one of these women…I actually burst out laughing in a dep one time because he told me I “hurt his feelings.” Oh, what a tangled web. I always say-you never know what goes on in someone else’s bedroom(s).

My story is very old & all these people moved away, plus one of them wrote a blog about it. You’re right-I would never discuss anything covered by privilege. Have never revealed a client confidence. No privilege with myself & opposing party or anything that showed up in court file.

I know that the memo rescinding DACA was ultimately vacated—but OC is unsure whether this would count as voluntary unemployment for child support purposes. I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
