Did you know that 68% of Americans don’t have a will? Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s a crucial step to protect your family’s future. Suze Orman stresses the importance of four key legal documents that everyone should have: - Will – Ensures your assets go to your chosen beneficiaries. - Revocable Living Trust – Helps your family avoid costly probate. - Durable Financial Power of Attorney – Protects your finances if you become incapacitated. - Advance Healthcare Directive – Ensures your medical wishes are honored. Without these documents, your loved ones could face legal battles, delays, and unnecessary stress. Don’t leave it to chance—make sure your estate plan is in place! 📞 Need help with estate planning? Contact L.

Interesting summary of current family law topics. The transparency changes are particularly important for high net worth or publicly prominent people, in relation to whom the press will be interested in publishing any salacious details. Not the point of the transparency project but is the reality of print media. It may be possible to avoid this with #familymediation or #arbitration. Mills & Reeve | Family and children

Let's talk about something that can really rub lawyers the wrong way - contempt of court. I've seen judges take all sorts of different approaches when it comes to parties violating their orders. Some will absolutely flip their lid if even the tiniest detail is disobeyed. But most of the time? They seem to barely bat an eye, despite clear violations. If you're considering filing for contempt against your ex or co-parent, there are two key things to keep in mind: 1⃣ The violation needs to directly impact the core issues - the best interests of your children, the division of marital property/assets, finances, etc.  Don't waste the court's time over minor infractions. 2⃣ You need to establish a pattern. One missed visit or late payment could be a one-off. But if the behavior continues despite your requests to stop, you're building a stronger case for contempt. 👉 Here's the thing - going the contempt route can easily backfire if you don't have a legitimate, impactful violation clearly documented. The judge may see it as a petty power play, which won't do you any favors. But in certain cases, seeking a contempt order is the only way to enforce the original ruling and protect your rights (or your children's rights). Just be strategic and make sure you're on solid ground first. As with any part of this journey, having the right advisor by your side is crucial. I'm always here to provide counselling and ensure you're taking the proper steps! #contemptofcourt #familylaw #divorceadvice

✅ Fact: The law hasn’t caught up with our new, modern family structures. It’s still designed with the traditional mom/dad/2.5 children in mind. So, if you have a blended family, you may not know that you’re at risk for accidentally disinheriting your kids. 👶It’s true.

This area of the law needs reform. Costs are currently rarely awarded in private children proceedings. This must change. Judges need more guidance, parties need to be forewarned, the system should be altered. Not to do so means that the court can be used to perpetrate post-separation abuse #childrenproceedings #familycourt #financialabuse #lawreform https://lnkd.in/eRfGmK86
