Children of divorce understand the highs and lows of having two sets of everything. Separated parents often means two houses, two routines, and two sets of rules. Some separations end up in bitter custody battles where somebody wins, but certainly not the children -- especially when they involve a third (or fourth or tenth) wheel.
‘Father absence’ is a situation where a child doesn’t live with the father, either because the parents have split up or have never lived together to begin with. It doesn’t always mean a child has never had contact with his biological dad, although that’s also an absent-father scenario.
There are things that a sane person wouldn’t (or shouldn’t) do for a million bucks like eating vomit or performing any of the stunts that the ‘Jackass’ actors do. In the real world, you can just say no to ridiculous, sometimes life-threatening dares.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding life experiences, like ever. Watching your kids learn life skills, grow into responsible adults, and become parents themselves is what makes being a parent such a joy.
But for some people, being a parent is like solving a mysterious puzzle that you spend an entire lifetime doing.
Flying is one of the most stressful ways to travel. As if extra surcharges, excessive security inspections, and never-ending check-in queues weren’t enough, there are always a few debacles awaiting you on the aircraft.
When inconveniences go beyond being refused another bottle of wine because you’re about to touchdown, deeply displeased passengers do more than just post passive-aggressive Facebook rants (although they might do that, too) -- they go to court.
During a divorce, a couple typically goes through the painstaking process of equally dividing their marital assets: house, vehicle, jewelry, and even pets. The divorce process can drag on for months or even years and can be very expensive. Selling your ceramic fish statue and rainbow-colored punchbowl may not fetch a hefty sum, but you could recoup your divorce spendings by auctioning these off alongside other conjugal properties.
Nothing humanizes celebrities more than news of them driving recklessly and trying to get out of it with a creative excuse. We’ve already covered celebs running over the paparazzi, and we know that those “accidents” were motivated by the desire to run over photogs who overstep the boundaries of decency.
And it’s even funnier when celebrities are involved!
George Clooney is a master prankster who has been pulling off elaborate practical jokes on his fellow A-listers for years, but he’s never been in hot water for his stunts. Similarly, Ellen Degeneres can get away with humiliating Taylor Swift on national TV because she’s...Ellen.
We don’t mean to brag but dividing assets like cash, stock options, and other quantifiable properties during a divorce process is something we can do in our sleep. It’s only a matter of time before a client steps into our Renton office and asks how to go about dividing cryptocurrencies.
Divorce entails dividing the spouses’ assets -- including pets -- and possibly deleting spousal memories that appear on social media. But unlike Facebook or Instagram posts, children can’t be deleted, and unlike assets, they can’t be divided or sold.
