Last updated on April 8, 2021

Given that adults are, well, adults, not too many of them probably look back upon marriages from the vantage point of divorce and wonder whether they made a mistake in untying the marital knot.

Father’s Day brings a focus on fathers’ rights in family law

Last updated on April 8, 2021

According to a study by the Pew Research Center, statistics support a new reality concerning American fathers, namely this: Literally millions of them have spent time in the house being “stay-at-home” dads, with the number of men doing so in recent years nearly doubling from a generation ago.

Gay marriage bans: Poll data literally all over the map

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Perhaps you’ve heard the term “bitcoin” in recent months.

Focus: not burning bridges following a marital breakup

Last updated on April 8, 2021

One family therapist make a point that stands as so obvious now that it seems almost impossible that it wasn’t just as obvious to more people years ago.

Divorce: Timing aspects can certainly be relevant

Last updated on April 8, 2021

OK, so most people in Georgia and elsewhere who are contemplating untying the marital knot know that an optimal time for doing so is not when a child’s wedding is just around the corner.

Testing the fathers’ rights hypothesis of unfairness toward men

Last updated on April 8, 2021

It’s certainly no secret in the terrain of family law: Men — many males, indeed — believe without doubt that courts are typically predisposed against their interests and far too often side with women almost instinctively.
