Donald Trump Loves Prenup Agreements

Posted in Divorce Law, Family Law, Uncategorized at 5:33 am by Administrator

Donald Trump is clearly a big fan of prenuptial agreements. He is also not afraid to recommend prenups to others. We note that he felt Nick and Jessica Simpson should have obtained a prenup. He is also reported to have called Paul McCartney a “smuck” for not obtaining one.

We feel that there are lots of advantages to signing a prenup. These advantages often outweigh the disadvantages. Discussing prenups can certainly result in an awkward conversation but this alone is not a reason to avoid dealing with the issue. We therefore encourage all of our readers to consider speaking to a lawyer about the pros and cons of signing a prenup and to do so well in advance of the wedding date.

The Daddy Track – Number of Single Dads With Child Custody on the Rise

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:01 pm by Administrator

This interesting article discusses some of the ongoing changes in our society’s view of gender and parenting roles. We were especially struck by the following fact:

“Across the United States, the number of households headed by single fathers almost doubled between 1990 and 2006, from 1.15 million to 2.1 million – or 20 percent of all single-parent families, US Census Bureau figures show.”

We can expect to see more pressure from the fathers’ rights movement on state governments to change their custody laws to reflect this new reality.

A Child’s Graduation Can Lead to Divorce

Posted in Divorce Law, Family Law, Uncategorized at 6:31 pm by Administrator

This interesting article from Wales notes that the graduation of a child can lead to divorce. As the article states, ”many unhappy couples wait until” after graduation “in order to avoid disruption.” Also, “others do not realize how unhappy they are until their household is empty for the first time.”
