Whether you are new to the practice of family law, a general practitioner, or are an established non-family law attorney, you will benefit from this program by getting a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use and remember divorce primer. Generalists and new family law attorneys alike will appreciate this overview as an introduction to divorce practice. Non-family law attorneys will find this basic information useful when posed with the inevitable family law questions, whether at work, at home, or in social settings. Come and learn the 3 Ss of divorce, including (1) Schedules (custody and parenting); (2) Support (child and spousal); and (3) Stuff (property). As the webcast reaches a national audience, the presenter will also touch on the differences between community and equitable property states, as well as the UCCJEA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act).
