SUMMARY OF TALK
Pamela Lewis, Esq. is a matrimonial attorney who has been a litigator for 30 years and is a certified arbitrator and mediator. Three reasons for a couple splitting are death of spouse, loss of employment and divorce of spouse. Support groups are important to get through divorce process in a healthy manner. Both sides need to have their own attorney. The couple should interview at least two attorneys. The rate for the attorney could be a fee based on hours or a fixed sum. Adultery, abandonment and irreconcilable differences were discussed as the past reasons for divorce. In October 2012 New York went for a no-fault divorce basis.
Tomorrow Friday – Israel vs. Hamas, including results of Israel election -- Dr. Sy Yuter
