There are varied and confusing challenges faced by those thrust into the Family Law courts at the dissolution of a marriage or during custody issues. Parties involved need to be able understand the system and importance of mediation, how custody and child support are determined, how to negotiate parent-custody times, and how to navigate it all with the least amount of harm to the children involved.
Over the past 6 years, I have been a huge support (financial & emotional) to my divorced sister as we have made our way together through the tangled legal system in California and Utah. I understand the vocabulary, the ins and outs, and the many pitfalls of the system. Previously, I worked for a company in CA as the Executive Secretary, and in this capacity I also was secretary to our Corporate Lawyer, so I am familiar with legal jargon and writing, but am also skilled in being able to explain complex ideas in simpler ways for the lay person. I do have the research skills to be able to write technically, if needed, about detailed inner workings of the legal system in the Family Courts.
I would love to discuss this further, and am interested to know if you will be assigning the daily blog topics, or if those are up for negotiation. The answer would determine how I would proceed with preparing for the articles. Are you wishing the blogs to include current events/true stories as examples, or just be fact-based, basic, how-to articles? I can write either. Hope to hear from you.
