Presented by Nicki Griffin, Esq.
Metoyer Law Offices
1.0 General CLE Credits
Divorces are a highly emotional time for parties and can be overwhelming to navigate. There are a high number of self-represented parties, so having access to resources, knowing what steps to take, and knowing their rights is especially important.
This training will go over the basics of a “simple” dissolution, without custody, including process, forms, and some guidance tips for helping clients, especially those who may not have the means for direct representation or lengthy discovery.
This training will cover:
- A broad overview of community property law; how property is characterized and divided in a dissolution.
- Legal definitions of temporary support and permanent support, the differences, and what to look out for.
- Procedural basics from initial filing to final judgment.
- Pre-nups and who should have them!
A dissolution can negatively affect the health of someone living with HIV/AIDS. By supporting clients through this process, we can have a positive impact on their heath.
