I have practiced family law in Arizona and Nebraska. The laws across the nation are vastly different based on the community in which you practice. However, there is a marked trend across the nation to move away from the litigious practice of family law. Courts and family law organizations are beginning to offer a much wider and more encompassed approach to training all areas of family law in a manner that encourages settlement. Not just a settlement that keeps the parties out of Court, but a settlement that puts into place a realistic parenting plan, financial structure and maintenance provisions. The hope, and the philosophy that I have adopted for my practice, is that families can continue to operate as functional units despite the life-changing process of divorce. Children can continue to feel like their parents communicate for their best interest, and the parents can feel that they are equally valued in making decisions for their children. There is a better way to "cut the ties" and I welcome the opportunity to focus my practice on this apporach.
