Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
I do not know this family but I recognize some of the issues that they may be having. I only recognize some of the issues from what I read in the paper about the judge’s remarks. I want to say, however, that I agree with what Ms. Jolie opined that none of this is anyone’s…
School’s Out
Yeah, the kids are out of school and the summer is here. The kids are really excited and the parents are not quite as excited. If you share your children with their other parent, you might be even less excited. How do you share the kids over the summer? Most likely, you already have a…
Mother’s Day
Congratulations to all the Mothers our there. It is a rewarding and honorable job, probably one of the most important ever in your lifetime. If you are going through a divorce, it is even tougher. But as long as you keep your kids in mind, you will be successful. I recall a conversation some many…
Mothers Leaving Abuse
If you are a mother, it is because you have kids. I have an observation to make about mother’s who go through divorce and the thoughts about children.

A fit parent does not have any domestic violence, child abuse, illegal drug use, alcohol abuse, mental health, or criminal issues. Some of these issues are hard to prove and parents often think that they need “evidence”. What…

You might be planning on going to spring training, having picnics, and going to the railroad park. It’s also time for reflection and feeling good, after all spring brings…
Bed Bugs and the Internet
When you travel to a motel/hotel room, you certainly have some expectations for your room. Some of the expectations are obvious: clean, safe, and economical. Some of the expectations are not so obvious, you want free parking, free internet, and free coffee? Sometimes you are surprised that you have a resort tax or a parking…
