Thoughts From a Divorce Lawyer. Musings on family and appellate law in Orange County. There are no winners in a divorce. I was mediating a civil case with a crusty old Los Angeles judge several years back.

But most dissolution cases in Orange County, incl...

Thoughts From a Divorce Lawyer. Musings on family and appellate law in Orange County. Family Law vs. Civil Law, Part 1. I titled this entry “Part 1” not because I have a multiple part post in mind, but because there are so many differences, I’m sure I’ll address others at some point in the future.

Thoughts From a Divorce Lawyer. Musings on family and appellate law in Orange County. Monthly Archives: October 2011. October 15, 2011 – 7:47 am.
