Mortgage Modification Training

While Hurricane Sandy worked over the East Coast, we spent today with 25 attorneys focused on helping homeowners save their homes through modification of mortgages under HAMP, HAFA, DOJ program, and other bank programs. I am always encouraged when so many people want to learn how to help people.

11 Mediators worked with 13 Debtors' counsel attorney and 3 Creditors Counsel attorneys to practice with Mock Mediations at the end of the day.

Thanks to Tammy, Bob, Laurie, Jo, Liz, Wayne, Stephan and Leanne for working together so well to put this seminar together.

Thanks OCBA for hosting and providing lunch and snacks. Next seminar is scheduled for January 7th in Memphis, Tennessee; hoping to see attorneys from Lousianna, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and even Alabama!

Case Law Update 2012

Learning goes on and on and on . . .
Today, I attended the Webinar provided by the Florida Bar on Family Law Issues from cases this year.
Always good to update your knowledge regarding what the courts are doing, and what the appellate courts are saying about what the courts are doing.
In the past year, Grandparents' Rights, Alimony, adultery, Parenting Plans, Timesharing, paternity, domestic violence, Enforcement and Fees were only a few of the issues considered for the courts' action this year.
When you are selecting an attorney to represent your family in court, ask what courses of study have been completed to remain up to date on the law of the state. 
The 5th DCA clarified the Relocation statute as to the 50-mile rule.
The 2nd DCA clarifited allocation of outstanding expenses for child support to the proportion of income of the parties rather than 50/50 as many agree.
The First DCA clarified a "supportive relationship" and whether it would end alimony.
These are but a very few of the 20 pages of cases reviewed. If you have questions of a legal nature call an attorney.
If you have questions regarding Collaborative Divorce, Elder Law, Family Law or Guardianships, Call me! 407-645-3297 or visit my website at www.aubreylaw.com
