When Sara Tasneem started high school, she dreamed of joining the Air Force and attending law school. Living with her mom in Colorado, she participated in JROTC, attended basketball games and had a boyfriend her own age.

But while visiting her dad in Mountain View at age 15, she was forced into an arranged marriage with a man nearly twice her age. Because her father believed she had broken the rules of her strict religious sect by having a boyfriend, she was married without her consent.

Her dad introduced her to the man who had been chosen for her at a coffee shop one morning. By that night, they were married in a spiritual ceremony in a Los Angeles hotel room. Six months later, she was legally married in Nevada.

From the day of her forced wedding, Tasneem said, her life became unrecognizable. She was withdrawn from school. She was forced to become pregnant with her first child at 16. She was taken out of the U.S. to her husband’s home country for six months.

“I was basically handed to this stranger,” Tasneem said. “All of my reproductive rights were taken from me that night, all of my bodily autonomy was taken from me. My entire childhood was taken from me.”

Tasneem, who is now 43 and lives in El Sobrante, was trapped in her marriage until she was 23, when she was finally able to initiate divorce proceedings after eight years and two children. She had to leave her children with their father while she figured out her next steps but was eventually able to get them back.

In California law, there is no age limit to marry. A minor must get the permission of at least one parent or guardian and approval from a judge to obtain a marriage license or domestic partnership.

Now, Tasneem and other survivors of child marriage are drawing attention to a bill in Sacramento that could ban all child marriages in California by setting the minimum marriage age to 18 — a bill that stalled in a committee controlled by a South Bay legislator.

Tasneem is not alone in her experience. California is one of only four U.S. states that does not set a minimum age for marriage, allowing individuals of any age to marry with the permission of a parent and a judge.

AB 2924, which would strike existing legal language that allows provisions for marriage under 18, was introduced by Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Orange County, in February.

The bill received opposition from Planned Parenthood Affiliates of Northern California, ACLU California Action and the National Center for Youth Law, which argued that it would drive abusive relationships underground and limit the rights of those under the age of 18 who willingly want to marry.

In April, the bill’s hearing in the judiciary committee was canceled at Petrie-Norris’ request, according to the bill’s legislative history.

However, anti-child-marriage activists blame Assemblymember Ash Kalra, the chair of the judiciary committee, for the bill’s withdrawal, stating that he supported amendments that would gut the bill.

These amendments included banning marriage under the age of 16 but allowing the court petition process for 16- and 17-year-olds and emancipated minors, Petrie-Norris said.

Though she said she believed this would be a “meaningful step” that would have made California’s marriage laws stronger than 37 other states, Petrie-Norris said that she ultimately decided to pause the bill because the survivors she was working with believe there should be no exceptions.

“I have tremendous respect for the lived experience of the survivors and advocates who I was working with on this bill,” Petrie-Norris said. “After considering our options for this legislative session, I decided to pause the bill rather than move forward with a compromise proposal that they do not support.”

Kalra declined an interview request from the Bay Area News Group. ______________________

Was looking for a non paywalled version of this, when I ran across this one

California, a solidly Democratic state, was on track to be the first to pass an absolute ban on marriages for children under 18. But the legislative proposal was met with opposition from liberal organizations like Planned Parenthood, the Children's Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union. The pushback comes out of concerns that imposing an age requirement could set the stage for a slippery slope when it comes to constitutional rights or reproductive choices, specifically that an age requirement could impede a minor's ability to seek an abortion.

Now they worry about slippery slope.

No exceptions

A California law passed in 2018 added stricter restrictions for minors to obtain a marriage license or domestic partnership, including separate interviews of the spouses and parents by a judge and family court services to determine if coercion, child abuse or trafficking are a factor, according to its text. The law also implemented a requirement that counties track and report the number of marriages involving minors.

Petrie-Norris’s bill would remove the ability of minors to marry at all, setting the minimum age to 18 with no exceptions. The bill had 20 co-authors across both parties and houses. Petrie-Norris began work on the issue in 2021, she said.

“This was a wildly popular bill,” said Fraidy Reiss, the co-founder of Unchained at Last, which provides direct legal, social and financial services to survivors and those escaping forced marriages and advocates to end child marriage in all 50 states. The organization worked with Petrie-Norris on the bill for more than a year to build a coalition of support, Reiss added.

The U.S. signed onto a United Nations pledge to end child marriage by 2030, but only thirteen states have made marriage under the age of 18 illegal since 2018. According to a 2021 study by Unchained at Last, 300,000 minors were legally married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2018.

California’s child marriages

In 2021, more than 8,000 minors in California between 15 and 17 years old reported becoming married during the previous year, according to Unchained at Last’s analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. In 2022, the number increased to more than 9,000, according to Unchained at Last. About 86% of these marriages involved underage girls marrying adult men, according to Unchained at Last’s 2021 study.

California state data collected since 2019 has reported fewer than 15 children marrying each year, according to Unchained at Last. Currently, only marriage certificates that are returned to counties with a court order are required to be counted.

The discrepancy in data is interpreted differently by Unchained at Last and the organizations opposing the bill.

The data collection mandated by the 2018 law regarding child marriage is unfunded, and many counties are not complying, Reiss said, leading to inaccurate data. Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and National Center for Youth Law said in a letter of opposition that they believe that the numbers indicate that minors are marrying in spiritual or extralegal ceremonies instead of through the legal process.

Since Unchained at Last was founded in 2011, “more and more” girls under the age of 18 have been seeking assistance, Reiss said.

“We realized there’s almost nothing we can do for someone who is not yet 18,” Reiss said. “The only thing we can do for them is change the law.”

Girls who get married as children often have worse economic and health outcomes. Child brides are more likely to experience domestic violence and less likely to stay in school, according to UNICEF. Pregnant teenage girls are more likely to have complications during pregnancy and childbirth. There are also negative mental health impacts due to isolation from family and friends.

“Child marriage destroys almost every aspect of a girl’s life,” Reiss said, calling it a “nightmarish legal trap.”

The stalemate at the statehouse

ACLU California Action, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California and the National Center for Youth Law wrote a joint letter to Petrie-Norris opposing AB 2924, arguing that a ban on marriage under 18 would drive abusive relationships underground, and limit the rights of minors willingly entering marriages, according to the text.

The three organizations each sent the letter in response to interview requests from the Bay Area News Group.

“We support what we believe are the intentions of the bill, to address the harms of coerced and abusive relationships on young people and protect them from abuse,” the letter reads. “However, we also strongly believe in and support self-determination and bodily autonomy for all people, including young people who are pregnant and/or parenting.”

Petrie-Norris pointed out that the International Planned Parenthood Federation supports legislation setting 18 as the minimum age for marriage.

“Forced child marriage is a practice that strips children of their autonomy, sexual and reproductive freedom, forces them into adulthood prematurely and shields rapists from criminal charges — so I find opponents’ arguments a bit ironic and misplaced — particularly when they have supported the same legislation in other states,” Petrie-Norris said.

The letter cites protections put into place by the 2018 law, including that marriages of minors are screened by a judge and Family Court Services counselor. It also points to California law that considers relationships with a “very young teen” or a “significant” age gap to be child abuse, adding that this should “prevent any such marriage from passing the existing legal test.”

Unchained at Last critiqued the safeguards provided by California law, saying in its “Reality Check” document on child marriage in California that “when an individual is forced to marry, their own parent almost always plays a crucial role in facilitating it.”

Reiss said that allowing abusive parents to marry off their children or allowing children in abusive relationships to marry their abusers provides no benefit to the child.

Tasneem added that a child marrying an adult “in and of itself is abusive because one person is holding power over another.”

The organizations also argue that removing the ability to marry under the age of 18 would have consequences for minors who “willingly enter a marriage,” according to the letter, especially young parents.

“Denying these young people the right to marry — without compelling evidence that it will solve an existing problem — further stigmatizes their circumstances and does not allow them to make health decisions for themselves and their families,” the letter reads.

The opposition letter adds that, because the nationwide right to get an abortion was overturned in Dobbs v. Jackson, it is important to invest “in approaches that expand, not remove, access to care and resources for young people.”

Both Tasneem and Reiss, who spoke about how their own reproductive and bodily rights were taken from them when they were forced into marriage, said that this argument is unfounded and that marriage should be treated as a separate issue from reproductive rights.

Reiss added that 96% of minors who enter into marriage are 16 or 17 years old.

“I’d rather you pass nothing than make it 16 or 17, and then wash your hands and say, ‘Wow, we solved that problem,’ ” Reiss said. “Why would you even bother passing a bill that’s going to help approximately 4% of the people it’s supposed to help?”

The path forward

Tasneem testified about her experience with child marriage in Sacramento in support of AB 2924 and met with Kalra about the bill.

She recalled Kalra being “upset” by her experience with child marriage but said that he told her that she needs to come to the table with Planned Parenthood because they should be on the same side.

“To me, it’s Planned Parenthood that’s standing in the way,” Tasneem said. “I just don’t understand — we really should be on the same side in this situation.”

Tasneem is one of several advocates who has met with Planned Parenthood multiple times about this bill, she said.

“They have kind of seemed to dig their heels in a little bit and made this a little bit more of a political issue versus looking at this as an actual issue that affects children,” Tasneem said.

Petrie-Norris said that the bill will not move forward this year due to the legislative calendar and committee deadlines, but she is “confident that the issue is not going away.”

“I like to believe that there is always an opportunity for compromise,” she said.

Tasneem and other survivors plan to continue to push for change at the statehouse — through legislation and protest. On July 18, Unchained at Last hosted a “chain-in” protest outside Kalra’s San Jose office, dressed in wedding gowns with chains around their wrists, calling attention to the bill and its stall.

“I want to protect the people with the smallest voice in this process, and that’s the minor,” Tasneem said. “Nobody looks out for them — not their parents, not the law, not lawyers, not politicians. Nobody..”

Could you do you a scenario where beloved wants a divorce from Terry

---

Divorce?

Man doesn't do divorce.

You can try and live apart from him and see how long it takes him to recover you, you can try to regain your freedom and fail at each and every turn and you can try to take legal action, but that's a riot, because Terry's known to break international laws constantly and with impunity. In fact, the only circumstances I can imagine Terry initiating divorce proceedings under is because he knows it'll will, in fact, never happen, and this is all a game to him, just like the whole justice system is, and he'll be there, rubbing it into beloved's face. Look. I'm getting away with it. Again, huh? Why? Because there's no earthly court that can take you from me. But you knew that all along, didn't you? So why the surprise? Did you think I was messing around? Talking the talk without walking the walk?

It's elaborate foreplay.

A flex of power.

A fetish.

A whole lot of spite. A really bizarre way of courtship and flirtation, almost.

The judges, persecutors, advocates and the whole courtroom staff is in his pockets one way or another, and he's on first name 'I'll invite you over for dinner' basis with most if not all of them, so really, what's there to fear? These are his people and he's gotten out of far more serious jams unscathed. Terry will be there, arriving to each meeting fully energized and enthusiastic because oh, he's looking forward to this each and every time, showing up with his team of lawyers for negotiations only to taunt beloved and hit on them. Smile at them. Wink at them, gleeful nostrils flaring and all. Bring them gifts shamelessly. Peacock himself around them and show off his best suits, endeavoring to infuriate them on purpose. Invade their personal space. Spill double entandres. Intimidate them one second and them attempt to charm them the next. Try to seduce them back because they belong to him. This divorce isn't a possibility because he'll never consent to it, and in fact, he'd sooner become a widower than a divorced man, the same way he'd rather put John Kreese behind bars than accept John, might, in fact, have a weird sort of connection to someone else too, no matter how unhealthy. He views this as a battle of wills he's already won and he finds it amusing and romantic, almost, like a meanspirited bully who knows he has all the cards up his sleeve would, embracing the idea that this whole divorce process is like a whirlwind spat between lovers. A whole new way he can enjoy each and every one of beloved's expressions. Their body language. The things they say. They do. The way he can eat up their outrage. Their bafflement. Every emotion they have to offer him, making himself the star of the show. The center of attention. The way they react when he, shockingly, suggests, they can get divorced solely so they could have the pleasure of getting re-married all over again or sending them a 1001 roses through his lawyer and his lawyer's assistant. He's even got the location of the second honeymoon picked out already for a second wedding; he's deliberately toying around with beloved, all while being very serious, because nobody should doubt for a moment he wouldn't go through all of these things. Oh, he would. And oh, he'd be there on mandatory reconciliation processes presenting himself as the aggrieved party who doesn't want this at all, all while he fully relishes it. It's all so unethical and he adores it.

Gets a kick out of it.

Gets turned on by it.

And he'd barely hold back a sleazy smile when his lawyer brings up the fact that Mr. Silver loves his spouse very much. His unreasonable spouse, yes. Perhaps...even...dare I say...mentally unstable spouse? Yes. That sounds good on paper. Because only someone unreasonable and mentally unstable would insist on a divorce that is unsustainable, but all the more proof, his lawyer would say, that this marriage shouldn't be dissolved precisely because it stands on such a solid foundation of tolerance, acceptance and love; all prime virtues of matrimony and everything a court of law upholds --- making beloved out like the unhinged, villainous party, effectively gaslighting them, the public, the press, the judge and everyone involved in this, exhausting the whole court, seeing as how Terry could do this for years and not let up. He's refusing to give beloved their freedom, and yet somehow, he effectively spined the narrative in such a direction where the Kafkaesque absurdity of this case can have him seeming like the victim and beloved the bad guy, with there being no telling just how far things could go, but imagination is the limit, and with Terry Silver, I reckon very, very far, because he's willing and able to things very far.

Ultimately, thirty years could pass.

Terry could be an old man, hosting a garden party somewhere in Malibu, surrounded by a posse of people, seemingly dating someone else for show because quick diversions are needed, with his divorce, technically, still in process and still nowhere even near a conclusion even though beloved technically lives elsewhere; all these nobodies, they're drinking his liquor, eating his food, mingling on his estate, making idle, empty conversation into his and each other's ears, rubbing shoulders with him and none of them even vaguely realize that he's been married for well over four decades, practically holding beloved hostage by refusing to sign irregardless of the fact that he's flaunting himself as straight laced, mellow and rehabilitated and that he doesn't intend to cease being married any time soon, nor that he's going to let something miniscule as beloved's desire for divorce to prevent him from that.

Terry Silver always gets what he wants.

What he wants is beloved.

What he got was beloved by refusing to be beaten.

He's warned them not initiate a divorce back in the day.

That their life would never be the same if they do. He wasn't joking.

There's no denial that, behind that cocksure, devil-may-care, arrogantly sadistic and unrelenting attitude he is actually deeply crestfallen that you wanted to separate from him legally in the first place, which is precisely why his revenge and reimbursement for his broken heart will be never letting you go, oh, beloved you, and call yourself lucky, because there's men who'd kill you for taking them to the cleaners like this, but he loves you far too much for that and that's, in his opinion, a rare mercy he never gives anyone. Ultimately, you did this to yourself.

(JTA) — Advocates for Jewish women who say their estranged husbands are abusing them by refusing to assent to a religious divorce are cheering after a New Jersey appellate court overturned a ruling against a woman in that state who used social media to advocate for her divorce.

A lower court ruled in 2021 that the woman’s social media posts constituted harassment and incitement. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey got involved in the case then, joining several Orthodox women’s rights groups who had already been working on her behalf.

The woman, who was identified only by her initials, LBB, in Wednesday’s 39-page court ruling, has been separated from her husband since 2019. She says that he has refused to give her a get, or ritual divorce document.

According to Jewish law, if a husband does not give his wife a get, she becomes an “agunah,” Hebrew for “chained woman,” who is unable to divorce and therefore to remarry — even if the couple has already completed a civil divorce. Men who refuse to deliver a get, often to gain leverage in a civil divorce proceeding, face no such restrictions under Jewish law.

A number of organizations in the United States, Israel and beyond have mobilized to press Jewish legal authorities to find a solution to the issue, which Orthodox women’s rights advocates consider a form of domestic abuse. Three Jewish groups filed legal briefs in support of the woman, including the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot, Unchained at Last and the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance.

“We applaud the court’s upholding of the right of agunot, those denied a Jewish divorce, to advocate for themselves within their communities without fear of repercussion.” Keshet Starr, CEO of the ORA, said in a statement. “Get refusal is unquestionably a form of domestic abuse; today, the court has stood up for survivors and against abuse in all its forms.”

In recent years, agunot and their advocates have turned to social media to recruit support for their cause and pressure their husbands to deliver a get. That appears to be what happened in this case. According to the court ruling, in 2021 the woman in question created a video in which she asked viewers to “press” her husband to give her a get. She says she sent it to only two people, but it appears to have spread more widely, and to have led to other social media activism that identified him by name, along with a photo.

The man testified that he subsequently received a series of anonymous phone calls, some containing threats. According to the ruling, he “explained his belief that the Jewish community reacts violently to the withholding of a get and that identifying him as a ‘get refuser’ subjected him to kidnappings and brutal beatings.” 

He also said his father was a get refuser and was subject to beating as a result. And he testified about a history of verbal abuse throughout their marriage.

The man also claimed that he did not withhold the get and that he had in fact given it to someone identified in the ruling as the “Chief Rabbi of Elizabeth,” who could have given it to the man’s wife. It is unclear which rabbi the ruling referred to: There is no broadly recognized “chief rabbi of Elizabeth,” a New Jersey city, and unlike other countries such as Israel or the United Kingdom, the United States or its cities do not have a chief rabbi. 

In 2021, the man received a temporary, and later a final, restraining order that barred his estranged wife from contacting him and ordered her to remove social media posts calling for the get. The court that issued the restraining order ruled that the social media posts constituted harassment, an invasion of privacy and incitement, and were thus not protected under the First Amendment’s free speech provisions. 

The appellate court’s three-judge panel rejected that reasoning, saying that her social media activism did count as protected speech. 

“In sum, the judge’s finding that the Jewish community was prone to violence against get refusers — and the implicit holding that defendant was aware of and intentionally availed herself of such violent tendencies — is not supported by the record,” the decision says. “The video was intended to get a get. The video did not threaten or menace plaintiff, and nothing in the record suggests that plaintiff’s safety or security was put at risk by the video.”

The Supreme Court of India is currently hearing petitions regarding legalization of same-sex marriage. The government is arguing that the concept of same sex marriage is against the so called "indian values" and won't be accepted by majority of the society.

But just because the society is narrow minded, is it right to deny gay couples their personal rights? Is it right to limit the personal rights of any human being based on colonial era views. It is high time we end the stigma around sexuality and accept the fact that gay people are indeed a part of society.

The petitioners are trying to seek recognition of same-sex marriage under various Acts, like the Special Marriage Act, Foreign Marriage Act and the Hindu Marriage Act.

They put forth the argument that marriage is a union between two people, not necessarily a man and a woman. They cited that the right to marry cannot be withheld from a section of people based on their sexual orientation.

The centre is arguing that gay couples cannot procreate, but straight couples who cannot proceate are allowed to marry. Women who are past the age of procreation are allowed to marry. How the fuck does procreation decide who can get married??

The Special Marriage Act, which was meant to help people seeking inter-faith marriage (another significant issue in India) requires couple to give a notice before their marriage. As argued, why should gay couple be required to announce their marriage if straight couples don't have to?

Excluding gay people from the basic societal and personal rights only contributes to increasing the stigma against homosexuality.

Providing marriage rights to gay couples does not harm or infringe the rights of straight couples. It just creates a India a more hospitable and welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community instead of a place we seek to escape

We as a society have come a long way, and legal recognition of same-sex marriage is a step in the right direction.

I hope that the SC will take the right and informed decision.

Looking at the arguments and proceedings of the court, I really think that there is a fair chance that gay marriage is legalised.

As a proud bisexual Indian woman, I would be a more content member my country if the Judiciary takes such decisions to make lives of the LGBTQ+ community in India.

https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/same-sex-marriage-hearing-we-are-in-charge-dont-tell-us-how-to-conduct-our-proceedings-sc-tells-govt/article66750307.ece

Highlights

CJI- "There is no absolute concept of a man or an absolute concept of a woman at all… A man or a woman is not a definition of what their genitals are, it is far more complex."

Government argument- society may not accept that same-sex marriages ought to be on par with heterosexual marriages.

Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul- it is not mandatory that the whole society should accept something for the Court to recognise rights.

Advocate Rohtagi- "We want to enjoy the full panoply of rights available to our heterosexual brethren. We want to enjoy the unit of family. We want privacy and freedom to move freely. The government cannot treat us as lesser mortals and tell us to remain content just because homosexuality has been decriminalised”

Divorce & Dissolution | Holly Mantle Law

Divorce is often a complex and emotional process, but understanding how to navigate it can make all the difference. If you’re considering dissolving your marriage in Vero Beach, it’s essential to know your options, the legal requirements, and how to approach the situation with clarity and support. This blog will provide an overview of the Dissolve Divorce Vero Beach process, the factors to consider, and resources available in the Vero Beach area.

Understanding Divorce in Florida

In Florida, divorce is legally termed "dissolution of marriage." The state operates under a no-fault divorce system, meaning that you do not have to prove wrongdoing by either party. Instead, you can file for divorce simply based on the assertion that the marriage is irretrievably broken. This makes the process somewhat more straightforward but does not eliminate the complexities involved.

Key Steps in the Divorce Process

Consultation with an Attorney: Before taking any legal steps, consulting with a family law attorney experienced in Florida Dissolve Divorce Vero Beac laws is crucial. They can provide guidance tailored to your situation, help you understand your rights, and outline the next steps.

Filing for Divorce: To begin the process, you must file a petition for dissolution of marriage in the appropriate Florida court. This document outlines your intentions and any requests regarding property division, child custody, and support.

Serving Your Spouse: After filing, your spouse must be formally notified of the Dissolve Divorce Vero Beac proceedings. This process, known as service of process, ensures that they are aware and have the opportunity to respond.

Negotiation and Settlement: Many divorces are resolved through negotiation rather than going to trial. Mediation is a common method in Florida, where both parties work with a neutral third party to reach an agreement on issues such as asset division, alimony, and child custody.

Finalizing the Divorce: Once an agreement is reached, or if the case goes to court, a judge will review the settlement or make a ruling. The final divorce decree will outline the terms of the divorce, officially dissolving the marriage.

Factors to Consider

Property Division: Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning that marital assets will be divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. Understanding how to categorize and value your assets is critical.

Child Custody and Support: If children are involved, custody arrangements must be determined. The best interests of the child are the primary consideration, and both parents may be required to contribute to child support.

Alimony: Depending on the circumstances, one spouse may be entitled to spousal support. Factors influencing this decision include the length of the marriage, the financial situation of both parties, and contributions made during the marriage.

Resources in Vero Beach

Family Law Attorneys: Finding a local attorney specializing in family law can help you navigate the complexities of divorce and advocate for your interests.

At The Pollack Law Firm, P.C., we work to ensure that assets are divided fairly, taking into account factors such as the length of the marriage, each party’s financial contributions, and future financial needs. Our attorneys are skilled in negotiating settlements that protect your financial future while striving to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Our Divorce Lawyers advocate for fair alimony arrangements that take into account the financial situation of both parties.

Uncontested Divorce: For couples who can agree on major issues such as property division, child custody, and alimony, an uncontested divorce may be the best option. Our attorneys can help facilitate an amicable resolution, ensuring that all legal requirements are met without the need for a lengthy court battle.

Child Custody Attorneys: Protecting Your Parental Rights

When children are involved in a divorce, child custody becomes one of the most important aspects of the legal process. Our experienced Child Custody Attorneys understand the sensitive nature of custody disputes and are committed to protecting the best interests of your children while advocating for your parental rights.

Legal and Physical Custody: In child custody cases, courts typically divide custody into two categories: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions regarding the child's upbringing, while physical custody pertains to where the child will live. Our attorneys work with clients to ensure that they have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities regarding both types of custody.

Joint Custody vs. Sole Custody: Courts generally prefer joint custody arrangements that allow both parents to remain actively involved in their children's lives. However, in some cases, sole custody may be in the best interest of the child. Our attorneys are experienced in advocating for both joint and sole custody arrangements, depending on the unique circumstances of each case.

Visitation Rights: Even if one parent is awarded primary custody, the non-custodial parent is typically granted visitation rights. We work to establish fair visitation schedules that allow both parents to maintain meaningful relationships with their children. If visitation disputes arise, our attorneys are prepared to advocate for your rights in court.

Modifications to Custody Agreements: Life circumstances can change, and existing custody agreements may no longer be in the best interest of the child. Whether you're seeking to modify a custody arrangement due to relocation, changes in employment, or other significant factors, our attorneys can help you navigate the legal process to achieve a favorable outcome.

Why You Need a Divorce Lawyer: Navigating Separation with Professional Guidance

Divorce is one of life’s most emotionally challenging experiences, and the legal complexities involved can make it even more daunting. Whether the separation is amicable or contentious, having a knowledgeable and experienced divorce lawyer by your side can significantly ease the process. Divorce lawyers specialize in family law and provide essential support in navigating the legal, financial, and emotional aspects of ending a marriage.

Here’s why hiring a divorce lawyer can make a world of difference when dealing with the complexities of divorce.

Expertise in Family Law

Divorce lawyers are well-versed in family law, including the legal grounds for divorce, the division of assets, child custody arrangements, and spousal support. Their expertise ensures that you fully understand your rights and obligations, and they work to achieve the best possible outcome for you. While many people believe they can handle their divorce independently, the intricacies of legal procedures often require professional guidance.

From understanding the nuances of your legal standing to interpreting complex documentation, a skilled divorce lawyer ensures that your case is handled with the utmost attention to detail, preventing errors that could lead to complications or delays.

Objective Advice and Emotional Support

Divorce is not only a legal matter but also an emotional journey, which can often cloud judgment and decision-making. A divorce lawyer acts as an objective third party, offering reasoned advice that helps you focus on what matters most. Their impartial perspective allows them to prioritize your long-term well-being, particularly when it comes to sensitive issues like child custody and division of assets.

With a clear understanding of family law and experience handling various divorce cases, a lawyer can help you stay focused on practical considerations while offering empathy and support through difficult times.

Handling the Division of Assets and Finances

One of the most contentious aspects of a divorce is dividing marital assets and debts. In many cases, both parties have different views on what constitutes a fair division, which can lead to significant conflict. A divorce lawyer helps ensure that the financial aspects are addressed equitably. Whether it’s dividing property, investments, savings, or even debts, your lawyer will negotiate on your behalf and present a compelling case to the court if needed.

If you’re unsure about how your finances will be split, a lawyer will assess the full scope of your financial situation, including hidden assets or complexities such as shared businesses, and help you protect your financial interests.

Child Custody and Support

For parents, child custody and support are often the most emotionally charged aspects of a divorce. Divorce lawyers understand how deeply these issues affect both the parents and the children involved. They are skilled in negotiating parenting plans, ensuring that the child's best interests are kept at the forefront while striving for fair and workable custody arrangements.

Whether it’s joint custody, visitation rights, or child support, a lawyer will help you navigate the complexities and advocate for a plan that reflects your parental rights and responsibilities. They’ll also ensure compliance with legal obligations, preventing future conflicts over custody or support payments.

Negotiation and Mediation

Many divorces are settled out of court through negotiation or mediation. This is where a divorce lawyer’s negotiation skills become invaluable. They can represent your interests in mediation sessions, helping you reach a fair settlement without the need for lengthy and expensive court proceedings.

By engaging in mediation, divorce lawyers encourage open communication and compromise, leading to resolutions that both parties can accept. They also ensure that any agreements reached are legally binding, providing clarity and security moving forward.

Representation in Court

If negotiations break down and the divorce becomes contested, you’ll need strong legal representation in court. Divorce lawyers are experienced litigators who will present your case effectively before a judge. From preparing legal arguments to cross-examining witnesses, they’ll protect your interests in what can be a highly stressful and adversarial environment.

Even if you’re confident about representing yourself, navigating the court system can be challenging without an experienced advocate. A divorce lawyer ensures that your case is presented professionally and persuasively, increasing your chances of achieving a favorable outcome.

Protecting Your Rights

Divorce lawyers are committed to protecting your legal rights throughout the divorce process. Whether it’s fighting for a fair division of assets, securing spousal support, or ensuring that child custody arrangements are balanced, your lawyer’s role is to safeguard your interests. Without proper legal representation, you risk losing out on entitlements or agreeing to unfavorable terms due to a lack of understanding or pressure from the opposing side.

By hiring a lawyer, you ensure that you are not taken advantage of during the process and that your rights are defended every step of the way.

Saving Time and Reducing Stress

The divorce process can be time-consuming and emotionally draining. Hiring a lawyer can streamline the process by handling paperwork, managing negotiations, and dealing with the legal complexities on your behalf. By doing so, they save you time and energy, allowing you to focus on rebuilding your life and looking after your emotional well-being.

Their expertise also reduces stress by ensuring that all legal formalities are completed efficiently, minimizing the chance of delays or errors that could prolong the divorce process.

Conclusion: Why a Divorce Lawyer is Essential

While divorce is undoubtedly a difficult and stressful experience, a divorce lawyer can provide the guidance, expertise, and support needed to navigate it with confidence. From negotiating settlements to representing you in court, a lawyer ensures that your rights are protected and that you reach a fair and legally sound resolution.

Court Marriage Lawyer In Ahmedabad Gujarat | Love Marriage Advocate in Ahmedabad | Advocate Paresh M Modi

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away a bid by gay-marriage opponents to block the public release of video of a watershed 2010 trial in California that overturned a voter-approved ban on gay nuptials in America's most populous state.

The justices declined to hear the appeal of a lower court's 2021 ruling in favor of news media companies including public radio and TV broadcaster KQED and advocates of gay marriage who sought release of video of the proceedings made for the trial judge. Proponents of the 2008 ballot initiative, called Proposition 8, had argued the video should remain sealed based on the trial judge's pledge at the time to keep it private.

Christopher Dusseault, a lawyer who fought to unseal the video, said the Supreme Court's order cleared the way "for public release of this important historical record."

"While the trial took place more than 12 years ago, the lessons that it teaches about equality and justice could not be more vital today," added Dusseault, of the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

The two-week trial in federal court in San Francisco, presided over by U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, involved a lawsuit brought by two gay couples who challenged Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage in California, which passed with the support of 52% of voters.

Walker ruled in 2010 that the state's bar on same-sex marriage violated the U.S. Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection under the law.

The Supreme Court in 2013 let Walker's ruling stand, paving a way for same-sex couples to marry in California. The Supreme Court in June 2015 in a landmark ruling of its own legalized gay marriage nationwide, ruling along the same constitutional grounds as Walker.

Walker recorded the 2010 trial for what he said would be a tool to help him write his ruling, stating that "it's not going to be for purposes of public broadcasting or televising." The recording has remained sealed since then though a written transcript of the trial long has been available.

The Supreme Court in 2010 rejected a bid to allow the trial to be publicly broadcast, finding that such a step was not allowed under the San Francisco federal court's rules.

San Francisco-based KQED in 2017 asked a federal court to "unseal the tapes and permit them to be viewed by everyone." It said in a legal filing that the tapes are of interest to "court-watchers, law students, scholars, historians, activists, concerned citizens and those interested in the transparent operation of the judicial branch."

A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2021 that the video recording of the trial could be released. Writing for the majority, Circuit Judge William Fletcher said Proposition 8 supporters had failed to show how they would be harmed by its disclosure.

In dissent, Circuit Judge Sandra Ikuta called the court's order "another sad chapter in the story of how the judiciary has been willing to bend or break its own rules."

Charles Cooper, the conservative lawyer who pressed the effort to keep the video sealed, told the Supreme Court in seeking review of the 9th Circuit ruling that "the root question in this case is whether a federal judge's binding promise, made to litigants in open court and on the record, is worthy of trust."

In a statement on Tuesday, Cooper called the Supreme Court's order "sad and lamentable," adding that the justices let stand "a decision deliberately reneging on a federal district court judge's solemn and unequivocal promise in open court."

Navigating the Difficulties of a Contested Divorce in New York: Essential Information

Navigating the Difficulties of a Contested Divorce in New York: Essential Information

Are you facing a contested divorce in New York? You’re not alone. Divorce is never easy, but when both parties can’t agree on critical issues like asset division, child custody, or spousal support, the process becomes even more challenging. If you’re wondering how to protect your interests and what to expect in the months ahead, this guide will provide you with the insights and advice you need.

Understanding Contested Divorce: What Sets It Apart?

A contested divorce occurs when spouses cannot reach an agreement on one or more significant issues. Unlike an uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all terms, a contested divorce often requires court intervention to resolve disputes. This can lead to a longer, more expensive, and emotionally draining process.

Key Issues in a Contested Divorce:

Division of Assets: Who gets what? This is often the most contentious issue, especially when significant assets are at stake.

Child Custody and Support: Deciding where the children will live and how much financial support is necessary can be a major point of conflict.

Spousal Support: Determining whether one spouse is entitled to alimony and for how long can lead to heated disputes.

The Importance of Legal Representation

When facing a contested divorce, having an experienced attorney by your side is crucial. A skilled divorce lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system, advocate for your rights, and work towards a resolution that is in your best interest.

Case Study: Successfully Navigating a Contested Divorce in NY

Consider Sarah, a New York City resident, who found herself in the midst of a contested divorce after 15 years of marriage. Her husband was fighting for full custody of their two children and wanted to claim the family home as his own. Feeling overwhelmed, Sarah sought the help of an experienced attorney from BG Divorce Lawyers NY.

Her lawyer thoroughly reviewed the case, helped Sarah gather necessary documentation, and provided expert guidance during negotiations. When the case went to court, Sarah’s attorney presented a compelling argument for joint custody and a fair division of assets. In the end, Sarah was awarded shared custody, and the marital assets were divided equitably, allowing her to move forward with her life.

Tips for Managing a Contested Divorce

Stay Organized: Keep detailed records of all financial assets, communications, and legal documents. This information will be critical during negotiations and court proceedings.

Prioritize Your Children’s Well-Being: If children are involved, focus on their best interests. This approach can also be beneficial in court.

Keep Emotions in Check: Divorce is an emotional process, but letting anger or frustration drive your decisions can lead to unfavorable outcomes. Lean on your attorney for support and guidance.

Prepare for Court: In a contested divorce, it’s likely you’ll need to go to court. Be prepared for the possibility of a trial, and work closely with your lawyer to build a strong case.

Conclusion: Take Control of Your Divorce Process

Contested divorces in New York can be complex, but with the right legal representation and a clear understanding of what to expect, you can protect your interests and secure a fair outcome. Whether you’re just starting the process or deep in negotiations, having a trusted attorney from BG Divorce Lawyers NY on your side can make all the difference.
