Many of you hear of horrible temporary orders and
emotionally draining trials in divorce.
And that can happen, and Mr. Mason has fought such trials when it was
absolutely necessary, and he has won more than his fair share. Except when
“war” is absolutely necessary, a divorce should be seen as a diplomatic process
of drafting a “peace treaty.”
Mr. Mason prefers to keep a family law case legally calm,
even if the participants are emotionally hot.
It is better for the kids if the parents do not fight. Children “feel” the heat, even if parents are
trying to hide it. It is healthier if
the emotional temperature drops as soon as possible. You will never stop being parents. It does not “end” when the children turn 18.
So, it is best to start cooperation now.
Any property to be divided is going to be divided by pretty
clear legal rules. While, certainly, the judges have discretion, the usual
cause of a property trial is unrealistic expectations on one side, and/or an
attorney who will not quash those unreasonable expectations.
Good legal advice saves you emotional and financial
resources. Getting you to your next
stage of life in good mental and financial health is a major goal of Craig
