Some people who have not or are not currently facing a contested divorce with minor children may believe that those who are "made their bed and now can lie in it." But what about the children who didn't choose to be embroiled in litigation and the corresponding financial devastation associated with it?
Some of you reading this article have children or grandchildren who have or someday may face a divorce. I urge everyone who is reading this article to get involved and to pay attention to what is happening in our family court and with our family laws that are being passed in the legislature. Currently, far too often, a workable and equitable end result is an illusion. Bad laws must be changed.
Lisa Macci is a licensed attorney in four jurisdictions, and has been practicing law since 1988. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Pepperdine University School of Law. Prior to entering private practice, Lisa worked as outside counsel to the Trump Organization, as a municipal court prosecutor, and as the in-house corporate counsel to Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City. Currently, her practice includes family and constitutional law, litigation and appeals. She also hosts the award-winning Justice Hour radio talk show.
Note from Lisa: For those interested in getting involved in Florida: One way to get involved is through the "Court Watch" program run by the South Palm Beach County National Organization for Women (NOW). Volunteers are needed to help oversee and to improve our family courts for the good of everyone. Free training is available for volunteer opportunities throughout the county.
