Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 2 million Americans get divorced, and most of them use a lawyer. In closed-door conversations between lawyers and their clients strategy is planned, tactics are devised, and the emotional climate of the divorce is established. Do lawyers contribute to the pain and emotional difficulty of divorce by escalating demands and encouraging unreasonable behavior? Do they take advantage of clients at a time of emotional difficulty? Can and should clients trust their lawyers to look out for their welfare and advance their long-term interests? Austin Sarat and William L. F. Felstiner's new book, based on a pioneering and intensive study of actual conferences between divorce lawyers and their clients, provides an unprecedented behind-the-scenes description of the lawyer-client relationship, and calls into question much of the conventional wisdom about what divorce lawyers actually do. Divorce Lawyers and Their Clients suggests that most divorces are marked less by a pattern of aggressive advocacy than by one of inaction and drift. It uncovers reasons why lawyers find divorce practice frustrating and difficult and why clients frequently feel dissatisfied with their lawyers. This new work provides a unique perspective on the dynamics of professionalism. It charts the complex and shifting ways lawyers and clients "negotiate" their relationship as they work out the strategy and tactics of divorce. Sarat and Felstiner show how both lawyers and clients are able to draw on resources of power to set the agenda of their interaction, while neither one is fully in charge. Rather, power shifts between the two parties; where it is achieved, power is found in the ability to have one's understandings of the social and legal worlds of divorce accepted. Power then works through the creation of shared meanings. Divorce Lawyers and Their Clients examines the effort to create such shared meanings about the nature of marriage and why marriages fail, the operation of the legal process, and the best way to bring divorces to closure. It will be fascinating reading for anyone who is going through a divorce, or has gone through one, as well as for lawyers, judges, and scholars of law and society.

This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simple message of this book is that divorcing husbands and wives should not allow divorce lawyers to send them off on a fool’s errand that will take what is already a tragedy in their lives and turn it into a nightmare. That is when they are persuaded to employ the law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as much as you can and to give as little as you have to. Rather, they should look to the law as a common framework that they can turn to in their effort to conclude an agreement and thereby get on with their lives. There is a name for this. It is called divorce mediation and it doesn’t take forever or cost a king’s ransom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines solicitors' activity in the resolution of matrimonial disputes. The empirical data on which the book is based were derived from the continuous monitoring of the files of 60 divorcing clients over a period of about 18 months. This has enabled an examination which is based on actual observation of correspondence between solicitors, court documents, and records of conferences and telephone calls. The vitality of the data provides an account of out-of-court activity which has a depth and currency not found in studies based on other methodologies. Solicitors' interactions with their clients are seen within the context of organizational, personal and economic constraints as they endeavour to reconcile the competing demands of their clients, their colleagues, the courts and the Law Society.

He dives straight into the most common marital problems, and shows how these usually derive from dishonest-- or nonexistent-- communication. Though he deals constantly with the heartbreak of others, he still believes in romance and the transformative power of love.

This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would never occur to husbands and wives to turn to lawyers or the law in their marriage. Rather, when faced with questions that they have to answer, they do this pretty much on their own, based on their Common Sense. Nevertheless, their marriage and their divorce are not the same. Thus, though their common sense may have been sufficient in the past, it may not be now, which is why they are going to need help. Where are they going to turn? There is only one place that they can and that is the law. If the law will provide them with answers to their questions, it will have been of great help and deserves to be complimented as representing Legal Sense. However, if all that it does is leave them with a never ending debate as to what the right answers are, it will not have been of any help, and it should be labeled for what it is, namely Legal Nonsense. That, unfortunately, has been and continues to be the sad legacy bequeathed to divorcing husbands and wives who have turned to the law. They are not given any help. All that they are given are false levels of expectation that are then inevitably followed by equivalent levels of disappointment. This book argues that divorcing husbands and wives deserve better than they have been given, and shows how turning to the law can be transformed from representing legal nonsense to legal sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors look at how divorce lawyers work to address the question of legal professionalism in practice. Through a systematic study of legal practice at the micro-level, they show how lawyers create their own controls over work through their social relationships, formal and informal norms, common knowledge, and shared values. While much of the research on legal professionalism centers on the formal standards of the bar as reflected in codes of professional responsibility, the authors show how the discretionary judgments that lawyers make, and the choices they face, are actually understood in relation to norms and standards of other lawyers with whom they interact or compare themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely revised and updated fifth edition of the award-winning Divorce with Decency includes the most current research, statistics, and insights on the effects of divorce on spouses, their children, and society overall. Written by a prominent divorce lawyer with four decades of experience, it is the most comprehensive treatment of the legal, emotional, economic, psychological, and social aspects of romantic relationships, marriage and divorce available anywhere in a single volume. Initial sections look at the dynamics of divorce: the causal factors, the common “stages” from initial separation onward, and the complications surrounding each stage for older and younger couples and children. Important information on spouse abuse is also included. The book discusses key criteria in selecting an attorney and gives expert advice on directing and monitoring the course of a case efficiently and economically. Detailed background on critical legal issues is given, followed by case histories highlighting key points of divorce law. Extensive new sections have been added to this edition which provide key tips on preserving, improving, and possibly “saving” marriages. Key chapters focus on post-divorce issues of single parenthood and new relationships; as well as the rapidly changing nature of love, romance, “digital dating,” and other topics in this modern New Millennium. Informative yet highly readable (and occasionally amusing), Divorce with Decency has proven to be indispensable to anyone involved in a divorce, whether directly or indirectly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divorce in the United States is becoming more prevalent than ever. More than 2.3 million Americans divorce each year, and halt of all marriages and 60% of all remarriages end in divorce. And the costs of ending a marriage--(both financial and emotional--(are staggering; the most conservative estimated cost of divorce is $15,000 and average legal fees range from $20,000 to $30,000. And with most lawyers fees reaching $300 or more an hour, there is a widespread need for accessible, inexpensive, and trustworthy information on all aspects of divorce. "The Complete Guide to Divorce Law provides readers who have no legal background with a detailed explanation of divorce law in each of the 50 states, which will help to minimize these legal fees and some of the emotional trauma that accompanies a divorce. For a fraction of the cost of an hour with their divorce lawyer, legal expert Nikara Choudri provides an easy to understand explanation of legal rules governing alimony, child support, child custody, and visitation. Now everyone going through a divorce will learn the requirements for filing for divorce, how divorce courts divide property, the qualifications for alimony, and how much child support will be required in a specific case. From the basic subjects, like determining the grounds for divorce, to complex topics like pensions, stock options, and professional licenses and degrees, Choudri offers sound, step-by-step advice that will help those contemplating the dissolution of a marriage to negotiate a settlement directly with a spouse as well as helping them to determine whether they can reach an out of-court settlement. With chapters on such topics ranging from transmutation to drafting anout-of-court agreement, this is an invaluable guide that will help everyone make informed rational decisions while coping with the difficult issues that can arise in a heated divorce.
