Advice from a Divorce Lawyer - How to make a Marriage Last!

Use Bonding Behaviors.
· smiling, with eye contact
· skin-to-skin contact
· providing a service or treat without being asked
· giving unsolicited approval, via smiles or compliments
· gazing into each other's eyes
· listening intently, and restating what you hear
· forgiving or overlooking an error or thoughtless remark, past or present
· preparing your partner something to eat
· synchronized breathing
· kissing with lips and tongues
· cradling, or gently rocking, your partner's head and torso (works well on a couch, or with lots of pillows)
· holding, or spooning, each other in stillness
· wordless sounds of contentment and pleasure
· stroking with intent to comfort
· massaging with intent to comfort, especially feet, shoulders and head
· hugging with intent to comfort
· lying with your ear over your partner's heart and listening to the heart beat
· touching and sucking of nipples/breasts
· gently placing your palm over your lover's genitals with intent to comfort rather than arouse
· making time together at bedtime a priority
· gentle intercourse

There are some curious aspects to bonding behaviors.

First, in order to sustain the sparkle in a relationship these behaviors need to occur daily, or almost daily.

Second, they need not occur for long, or be particularly effortful, but they must be genuinely selfless.

Third, there's evidence that the more you use bonding behaviors, the more sensitive your brain becomes to the neurochemicals that help you feel relaxed and loving. (In contrast, intense stimulation sometimes causes tolerance to build up.)

Fourth, some items on the list above may sound like foreplay, but in one important sense they are not. Foreplay is geared toward building sexual tension and climax—which sets off a subtle cycle of neurochemical changes (and sometimes unwelcome perception shifts) before the brain returns to equilibrium.

In contrast, bonding behaviors are geared toward relaxation. They work best when they soothe an old part of the primitive brain known as the amygdala.

An Overview of The Collaborative Divorce Process

    Divorce is not a “one size fits all” subject. Not all divorces are completed in courtrooms and of those that are not, there are multiple ways to reach a mutually-satisfying resolution for the couple.

Two methods of alternative dispute resolution that divorcing couples often choose to complete their divorces are collaborative divorce and mediation. With mediation, the couple works with a neutral third party to determine the right settlement for them. With a collaborative divorce, the couple has complete control over their divorce settlement. This level of control can result in varying levels of satisfaction among couples, depending on other factors present in their marriages. Before you decide to divorce through collaborative law, speak with your divorce attorney to determine if it is the right choice for you.

If you do opt to divorce via collaborative law, the process is completed through a series of meetings between the spouses and their attorneys. Each spouse should have his or her own lawyer for this process.

Other Parties Can be Included in the Collaborative Process
Although the divorcing couple has the final say in all aspects of their settlement, professionals other than their attorneys could be present at their meetings to aid in the process of reaching this settlement. These individuals can include a neutral accountant or a child custody evaluator.

Couples Often Sign a “No Court” Agreement
The goal of a collaborative divorce is to complete the divorce process outside of court. This document holds each party to that agreement. However, sometimes a couple realizes after they start the collaborative process that they need court intervention to reach a fair settlement. Generally, the “no court” agreement stipulates that the attorneys withdraw from the case in the event it has to go to court.

Some Court Interaction is Still Required
Although the bulk of the collaborative process occurs outside of court, some interaction with the court is still necessary. When you and your spouse reach an agreement and you and your lawyers sign the settlement, you must file it with the circuit court of the country where you or your spouse lives, if you live in different counties.

Collaborative Divorce Saves Money
Most individuals who choose collaborative divorce cite this as the reason why. But remember, while you are saving money by avoiding court fees, you can potentially lose money when your assets are divided because of the lack of court oversight. Consider very carefully whether you and your partner can handle directing your own divorce before you move forward with the collaborative process.

Work with an Experienced Winter Park Divorce Lawyer
If you are considering filing for divorce, consider divorcing through collaborative law. Although this option is not right for every couple, it can have a lot of benefits for those who choose it.

Choosing your Child’s Religion: What to Do

When you and your Former Partner Disagree about Religion and its role in your child’s life, how do you address this difficult discussion. 

On the one hand, a parent wants to raise his or her child to make their own decisions about the “big” topics like God, death, and our moral duties as human beings.
On the other, religion often provides the framework in which to make these decisions as well as a sense of community with others within the religion.

 As Americans, we have the right to practice any religion we choose. Religion is more than just a set of beliefs, it is a key part of one’s cultural identity and many parents feel it is important to raise their children within specific religions. Raising a child religiously often involves regular church services, religious training such as catechism or Hebrew school, and the observance of certain holidays. Sometimes, it extends to a child’s academic life as well in situations where parents choose parochial school or homeschooling.

Religion can become an especially tricky topic when a couple of different faiths divorces. Choosing a child’s religion is a component of child custody. Previously, Florida law allowed for a parent to have physical or legal custody of a child (or both). Legal custody covered the issue of religion along with other related issues, like the child’s medical care and academics. But in 2014, Florida’s law was amended to remove these rigid divisions.
Now, divorced Florida parents most frequently have shared parenting plans, where each parent spends time with the child and takes on specific responsibilities in his or her upbringing. Handling your Child’s Religious Upbringing After your Divorce
In a 2014 case, the Florida Appellate Court deemed that the court does not have the authority to determine the religion in which a child is raised after the child’s parents divorce. In that case, the court had previously granted a mother the right to continue to raise her children as Catholics with the requirement that their father do nothing that “conflicts with the Catholic religion” in front of the children. When the decision was appealed, the court determined that unless a parent’s religious beliefs or practices poses a substantial risk of harm to the child. Florida, along with many other states, holds this as the standard to use when handling religious differences between parents after a divorce.

Unless and until a parent’s religious practices harms his or her child, he or she may practice the religion in the child’s presence and include the child in these practices. If the child’s other parent or another party can prove that the religious parent’s religion is harming the child, the court may restrict the religious parent’s right to express his or her religion when in the child’s presence.

Family Attorneys in Winter Park The best way to handle your child’s religious upbringing after your divorce is to determine it in cooperation with your spouse as you work through the divorce process. If you cannot come to an agreement, a mediator or family attorney can help you reach a solution that works for your family.
