Cordell and Cordell catering to Divorce needs for men


In a divorce suit it’s not uncommon to notice that interests of men take a backseat as too often family lawyers, and even judges, have resigned themselves to stereotypes and a perpetuation of the status quo. The mentality is quite malicious and conscious but the hard fact is that it is prevalent all across the world. Even men need to protect their interests along with the interests of their children.
The feminist movement has further aggravated the situation for men as their shrill insistence on women's interests somewhere adds to the utter exclusion of the underlying merits of a given case. Thus its clear that men in divorce suits stand to loose unless an attorney like Cordell and Cordell aggressively champions the case of men in the courtroom.
Given the scenario in the society today the judicial system is quite prone to assume that moms should be the primary custodial parents. This is quite against the feelings and facts from the father's side. If men have been accused of abuse it’s taken at face value and if men accuse women of abuse the thinking among the general public is that they are lying and overreacting. In times when almost every human being is treated as an equal in the eyes of law still women are treated in a way that they can’t generate as much income as men can. A man is considered as less deserving for the assets earned by a woman.

Cordell & Cordell advice planning for holidays after a divorce


Its quite a task for kids to come to terms after their parents have split after a divorce. According to Cordell & Cordell kinds minds are quite fragile and need to be dealt with great care. Divorce has many a social and economic stigma attached to it which adults can come to terms although they may take time but this may have an everlasting effect on the minds of children who may even undergo complete personality change in the event of a ugly spat between parents during the course of a divorce.

The transition of coming to terms living with a single parent becomes more evident in times of holidays as kids will surely miss one of the parent in the activity they did together during their earlier holidays. The tradition they followed in the earlier years would be thrown into a toss and it would require a lot of counseling for kids to come to terms with the new arrangement.

The parent who has the custody of the kids will have a tough time explaining things to his children. But if things are put in the right perspective and kids are allowed to understand the situation things can surely go in a better direction. If you are unable to counsel the kids check with your attorney for a qualified counselor who can make a difference to the situation.

New traditions need to be put into place to keep kids busy but the transition must be steady. Keep a tab in the changes that kids go during the introduction of the new arrangement. Mood swings need to be checked at a regular basis unless they become personality disorders.

If parents fail to plan the way they are going to take care of the kids the kids will surely be left torn between where to go, who to spend time with - juggling the two families and extended families is more than any kids should have to handle feels attorneys at Cordell and Cordell. Proper planning and coordination is the need on the part of the parent who is left to the care of the children especially in the holiday season. One needs to help these kids forget the problems they are undergoing during the separation process.

Cordell & Cordell provides an insight into Alimony issues


Although Divorce is a painful process still there are times and circumstances where one has to undergo this pain to make life worth living. There are attorneys and law firms that will make the divorce process and other processes connected to divorce a comfortable and not so painful activity for an individual. Cordell & Cordell is one such firm that believes that ones rights need to be protected with legal methods and practices that are considered ethical in the society. Cordell & Cordell is an expert in the arena of Spousal support or alimony as it is called in legal terminology.

Alimony is the amount of money that is decided by the court after the dissolution of marriage of two individuals. This is generally awarded to the wife. If the husband is the primary breadwinner and has made a lot of money there are good chances that the wife will ask for a good amount of money as alimony. In case both the partners are earning then the alimony will depend on the difference in the earnings and the time period they have been married. More the number of years of marriage more will be the alimony.

There are times when clients will be anxious to know if maintenance will be awarded to the spouse? Maintenance will surely be awarded if the spouse does not have adequate property for her needs and expenses. The employment angle is also checked and the case for maintenance grows stronger in case the spouse is unable to support herself with appropriate employment.

There are many factors that go in determining the alimony by the court. The court is bound by law and common understanding that it considers the length of the marriage while determining the alimony. The age and health of the parties involved is also taken into consideration. Division of property is yet another factor that is taken into account while determining the alimony. The education level along with earning capacity of the parties at the time of marriage and at the time of determining the alimony also plays an important role in deciding the alimony.

Pre marital and Post Marital agreements either mutual or decided through the courts also play an important role in deciding the alimony for the individual. Maintenance can be ordered as either a substitute of property division or a short term support to aid the divorced spouse in becoming self sufficient. In many cases the maintenance may also be life long in case the spouse is not able to support herself due to reasons of age, unemployment, disability or health reasons.
