BEING A FRIEND WHEN YOUR FRIEND IS DIVORCING

Anger In the Midst of Divorce
Posted By Evans & Hubbard, Attorneys at LawIt is an often repeated phrase that everybody goes temporarily insane when they get divorce. Calm rational people who in normal circumstances function in a reasonably competent matter suddenly have daily flashes of anger. Things that most people would be able to just let go become the “I have to assert my boundaries” and refuse to budge on picking up the kids at 5:45 pm rather than 6 pm. So what ...Continue Reading -

INTERNATIONAL CUSTODY DISPUTES
Posted By Evans & Hubbard, Attorneys at LawCustody disputes, when they are in a single case, in a single jurisdiction, are complicated. At the end of a dispute, there is a judgment, which defines what parenting time will be for each parent, and who has decision making authority, which is the essence of what having “custody” means. Having decision making authority does not mean that authority is absolute. It does not mean that you have the ...Continue Reading -
PART III - GASLIGHTING IN A DIVORCE
Posted By Evans & Hubbard, Attorneys at LawIn a divorce, the shifting psychological dynamics come up in many ways. The most obvious is when child custody is strongly contested between the two parents.
