Happy New Year! Jennifer Moore here.
FAMILY LAW, TRUSTS AND ESTATES, AND THE NEW YEAR
What are your New Years’ Resolutions? Mine is to carve out time for a morning
routine. Commuting from home to our offices
in Plymouth is not always my idea of fun!
Maybe your resolution involves a bigger change…. Perhaps you are contemplating a change in
family structure, such as marriage, divorce, or a change of custody of your
children.
Family law attorneys such as Emily Matson and me here at
Moore Family Law, observe that requests for initial consultations increase
dramatically after January 1st. We do
still have openings for initial consultations, but they are filling up
fast. Call to reserve your time now!
YOUR INITIAL
CONSULTATION AT MOORE FAMILY LAW
What can you expect during an initial consultation? Moore Family Law offers free
consultations. You can expect to be
greeted at our office by our Office Manager or our newly-hired Paralegal who
will ask you to fill out a short form and will offer you a bottle of water or a
cup of coffee. Once you complete your
form, you will meet with an attorney – Emily Matson or me – who will give you
real legal advice regarding your custody, alimony concerns; or, alternatively,
regarding your trust, estate Divorce attorney
Minnesota, or probate issue. We will
give you our best estimate as to the cost, effort and time we believe your
matter will take. We will advise you
about steps you can take to resolve your family law or trust and estate matter
without involving an attorney, as well as if your matter is one that really
does require the services of an attorney.
If you are concerned about costs, we will brainstorm with
you ways to keep the costs down and to obtain the funds necessary to retain us.
Once the consultation is over, we will send you a letter and
a proposed legal representation agreement.
You have no obligation to retain us for your family law or trust and
estate matter, although we hope you will.
JOINT CUSTODY IN THE
NEWS
On another note, I was flipping through the December 14th
issue of Newsweek yesterday and discovered the following article about joint
custody arrangements:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/174698
This is an interesting article. In our family law practice we have definitely
noticed a trend towards joint custody arrangements. Often, these arrangements are the result of
both parents coming to an amicable agreement about custody. However, we have had success in obtaining
joint custody arrangements for our clients even where the parties have not
necessarily been able to agree about what’s in the best interests of the
child. One of the keys is involving an
attorney early on in the process who can advise you as to the best way to
approach the issue with an eye towards possible litigation.
Next week, I will discuss how focusing on the best interests
of the children is the best litigation strategy in a divorce, no matter whether
the immediate. And, yes, we have a link
for that too! See Minn. Stat. Sec. 518.17.
