As a teenager and prior to attending las school, I worked physical, outside jobs. As a landscaper, this time of year was big for spring “clean-ups” where I would rake old leaves, remove fallen sticks and branches, clean out shrubbery and flower beds, thatch the grass, and just generally refresh a yard that had been impacted in whatever way by the previous Fall and Winter. This would get things ready for the Spring plantings and routine maintenance of the changing seasons.
What does that have to do with family law?
First, it reflects that I’ve never shied away from hard work, and in fact, actively sought it out. I enjoyed working with my hands and pushing the limits of what I was capable of physically and mentally. That continues today, through my lifelong commitment to strength training and an active outdoor lifestyle. While I am active outside year round, choosing to embrace each season and its unique attributes, others seem more active when the weather turns “more pleasant.” The birds are back chirping, flowers are blooming and people with cases in Family court are cleaning out their closets so to speak and ready to make changes or finalize things.
As the Spring arrives, it can be a time to thaw out older cases that had been hibernating perhaps over the Fall and Winter months, to revisit and refresh older or outdated Orders for Child Custody and Support, and to move along Divorce cases that had been sitting without any progress.

Junior could mean for you, we may have the answers.
