Some thoughts on domestic relations law:

Knowing the uncertainty and upheaval that virtually all of my clients are living with when they come to me, I think it is important to always clarify with them the goals they are seeking to achieve.   “What is a successful outcome for you?”  “What do you want your life to look like in a year?”  These are the types of questions I often ask.  The answers vary widely.  Some clients know precisely what they want – to be able to stay in their home, for example, even if that means waiving an interest in other assets of the marriage.  Some say they want what is “fair.”  Others have not yet reached a stage where they can articulate their desires.  But to the extent I can help my client define his or her goals (realistic, attainable goals), and then work to achieve them, that is not only the basis of a good lawyer-client relationship, it is the best scenario for the client.

Think about your goals.  Think about what you want to achieve.  Measure those things against the laws that govern issues such as custody, support and visitation in this State and adjust those goals if they are not realistic or attainable.  And then let us work to achieve those goals.  If you know what you are working toward, you will feel a sense of focus and purpose that can do much toward lending structure during a time when you likely feel that so much is out of your control.
