Today, the US Supreme Court issued an opinion in Monasky v. Taglieri. The case, about interpreting “habitual residence” in a Hague Child Abduction proceeding, found that a court should consider the “totality of the circumstances specific to the case.”

#WellnessWednesday Tip: Find time each day (even on the busiest ones) to step away from your desk and phone and decompress. Even short breaks can increase focus, boost creativity, and decrease stress. A lap around the office or a trip to the local coffee shop are great options!

Beginning of a new era in Irish Family Law as grounds for divorce reduced to two years living apart; likely to result in less applications for Judicial Separation and hopefully less opportunity for acrimony #divorce @IAFL_FamLaw

Good news if you are a divorcing Canadian: Attorney’s fees paid to obtain or defend a claim for child or spousal support are tax deductible. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada

Bad news if you are a divorcing Canadian: If you receive an attorney’s fee award, the portion not related to support is taxable to you as income in the year received.

[IAFL USA Chapter @IAFLUSA]

US style offers of judgment often determinative of attorney’s fee and cost issues in Canadian divorces. Offers of judgment prohibited in many US jurisdictions for divorce cases. #CambrideForumFamily #IAFLCanada @IAFL_FamLaw

In Canadian divorces, fair market value is not necessarily the standard of value for valuing a business. Courts and experts have broad discretion. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada @IAFL_FamLaw

[IAFL USA Chapter @IAFLUSA]

In British Columbia, the courts require joint experts for business valuation issues in divorce. In Alberta, the courts have the power to order, but do not do so over a party objection. #CambridgeForumFamily #IAFLCanada @IAFL_FamLaw
