By Lauren Mckinley in Blended Family, Blog, Child Custody, Coparenting, Divorce, Family Law, Marriage, Parentage, Tips | Posted June 28, 2020

I think it’s safe to say that no one arrives in a blended family as their first choice. A marriage didn’t go according to plan and the redirect happened. For me, my first marriage ended quite abruptly (from my side, at least). And while there were layers of pain and grief that went into the decision to divorce, I know now it was the right one for us. It was far from what I wanted in the beginning, but years…

By Hello Divorce Team in Blog, Divorce, Divorce Attorney, DIY Divorce, Family Law, Legal Innovation, Legal System, Legal Technology | Posted June 9, 2020

(Hint: It’s not because your ex is a jerk.) We don’t get married thinking we’ll get divorced. (At least I hope not.) But it happens. A lot. And that’s OK. Not every relationship lasts 50 years. But who would ever expect that their divorce would cost more than their lavish wedding? More than the caterer, venue, table centerpieces, and dress? But it does, most of the time. Bottom line: Divorce is expensive. A recent article from USA Today reports that the average…

Marriage Story: Best Picture Nominee, But is it an Accurate Portrayal of Divorce?

By Erin Levine in Blog, Child Custody, Divorce, Family Law, Parentage, Property Division | Posted January 14, 2020

Legally speaking: just how “real” is Marriage Story, anyway? This week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named Netflix film Marriage Story Best Picture nominee. But, as you’ll gather from the press, the clips and everything surrounding the movie: Marriage Story is actually not about marriage—unless you think divorce an inevitable part of marriage (ahem…it’s not). Marriage Story is not just anyone’s story. It’s the story of the film’s director, Noah Baumbach. And it’s not just any divorce story—it’s…

By Erin Levine in Blog, Child Custody, Family Law | Posted May 30, 2019

Michael Daniels created Fayr to manage his own co-parenting relationship. After he and his wife divorced, he found himself spending more time tracking paperwork, daily logs and receipts – that he was later accused of…
