Under proposed new family code, Canadian lawyers will have an affirmative duty to screen for family violence. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada IAFL

In Quebec, almost all kids in divorce proceedings have a lawyer. Also, if the child is 12 years old, their preference on with whom they live is almost always dispositive. Wow! #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada IAFL

In British Columbia, the courts require joint experts for business valuation issues in divorce. In Alberta, the courts have the power to order, but do not do so over a party objection. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada IAFL

In Canadian divorces, fair market value is not necessarily the standard of value for valuing a business. Courts and experts have broad discretion. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada IAFL

Good news if you are a divorcing Canadian: Attorney’s fees paid to obtain or defend a claim for child or spousal support are tax deductible. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada

Bad news if you are a divorcing Canadian: If you receive an attorney’s fee award, the portion not related to support is taxable to you as income in the year received.

US style offers of judgment often determinative of attorney’s fee and cost issues in Canadian divorces. Offers of judgment prohibited in many US jurisdictions for divorce cases. #CambrideForumFamily #IAFLCanada IAFL

Beginning of a new era in Irish Family Law as grounds for divorce reduced to two years living apart; likely to result in less applications for Judicial Separation and hopefully less opportunity for acrimony #divorce IAFL

#WellnessWednesday Tip: Find time each day (even on the busiest ones) to step away from your desk and phone and decompress. Even short breaks can increase focus, boost creativity, and decrease stress. A lap around the office or a trip to the local coffee shop are great options!

Today, the US Supreme Court issued an opinion in Monasky v. Taglieri. The case, about interpreting “habitual residence” in a Hague Child Abduction proceeding, found that a court should consider the “totality of the circumstances specific to the case.”
