If you ask someone to list three words that come to mind when they think of divorce, "amicable" most certainly would not be one of them. Although divorce is, by its nature, emotionally draining and financially complex, it does not also have to be highly contentious and litigious. As an attorney practicing exclusively family law, whenever I mention the concept of an amicable divorce to clients, nine times out of 10, people look incredibly surprised. "But wait, I thought the only way to get (fill in the blank) was to go to court?" Most are also surprised to hear that very few family law cases actually proceed to trial and that most are ultimately resolved by a settlement reached between the parties.

The initial choice a prospective client must make after deciding to pursue a divorce is the process that she or he will use to address decision-making related to child custody, property distribution and cashflow (child support, spousal support, temporary alimony and alimony). The four basic family law process options currently available are kitchen table or pro se negotiations, mediation, litigation/arbitration, and collaborative law. There are many variations of each of the foregoing options, but for simplicity each will be considered in its basic form.

The stakes in a dependency matter are extremely high. Indeed, one's parental rights over his child could be forever terminated in such a matter, so it is imperative that the parties involved receive sufficient notification of the hearings which take place and are given a full opportunity to participate. The trial court, in In the Interest of K.S., a Minor, Appeal of A.L.W., 2017 WL 1162449, has made it clear that proper notice and participation of the parties is absolutely essential in a dependency case.

It is undeniable that the transgender community has been gaining greater public attention in the last several years. While activists have been working for decades to increase acceptance, the high-profile case and transition of Chelsey Manning and celebrities like Chaz Bono, Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner, combined with the integration of transgender story lines in shows like "Transparent," have helped the community gain traction within the mainstream—increasing awareness about the difficulties faced by individuals with gender dysphoria.
