Top 10 Mistakes Made in Divorce
The Indy Star has this article posted today. It focuses on the top 10 mistakes that men in divorce make and the top 10 mistakes that women in divorce make.
The article does contain some nuggets of wisdom so I offer it for your consideration. But, also consider these two caveats: (1) some of the advice is specific to Indiana law (for example the tip that says "fault" does not play a part in the property settlement - it does in Alabama), and (2) some of the tips are brushed with too broad a stroke - which is a nice way of saying I don't agree with them. Specifically, one of the tips states that Guardians Ad Litem (lawyers appointed to represent the children in custody cases) typically side with the mother in custody actions. It is my experience that in Alabama, most GALs look at what is in the best interests of the child, and do not enter cases with an automatic bias based on sex.
