S10 Ep49: Can I Fire My Spouse From the Business During Divorce?

#ChooseGoldman Dividing a business during a divorce is significantly more complicated than splitting simple household assets. Attorney Akiva Goldman highlights that making rash employment changes driven by raw emotions usually backfires, as Michigan courts typically order the financial status quo to be maintained. • Businesses involve complex asset division compared to straightforward items like bank accounts or televisions. • Couples often establish distinct, vital operational roles within their shared business during the marriage. • Firing your spouse usually forces you to pay a replacement worker's salary to perform the exact same job. • Eliminating your spouse's corporate income often triggers a court order requiring you to pay temporary spousal support. • Maintaining the financial status quo and following mathematical business logic is the most strategic option during an active divorce.

S10 Ep47: Can Therapy Notes Be Used Against You in Custody Cases?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that while you have the right to keep therapy notes private during a custody case, asserting this privilege can sometimes lead the court to assume the worst. Waiving the privilege to demonstrate your progress and excellent prognosis is often the best strategy to protect your custody rights. • You can assert doctor-patient privilege to keep your therapy notes out of family court. • Blocking a therapist's testimony may cause the judge to assume you are hiding serious issues. • Formal mental health claims regarding child safety will trigger a court investigation. • Waiving your privilege allows your therapist to testify about your positive progress and healing. • Showing the court that you are actively improving is often far better than keeping your records hidden. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

S10 Ep46: What If My Ex Won't Tell Me Where My Child Lives?

#ChooseGoldman When a co-parent refuses to share information about where your child lives or goes to school, it raises immediate concerns for both you and the court. Michigan family courts expect full transparency and will heavily scrutinize any parent who violates orders by keeping secrets or ghosting the other party. • The court expects full transparency and for both parents to share crucial information about the child. • Sudden secrecy, like hiding where the child lives or goes to school, raises immediate red flags. • Changing routines without explanation may indicate a secret school change that violates your parental rights. • Keeping detailed documentation of your communication and parenting plans is vital for court. • A judge will strongly suspect a violation of court orders if a parent ghosts you and refuses to share essential facts. ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.

S10 Ep45: What Should You Do If Injured in a Fireworks Accident?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts often address family law disputes when parents disagree about allowing their children to use fireworks. If a fireworks accident happens, it is crucial to prioritize medical attention immediately over assigning blame, document the incident thoroughly, and seek legal guidance before speaking to insurance representatives. • Prioritize immediate medical care for any injury before worrying about fault or compensation. • Use your phone to document everything by taking detailed photos of the injury and the scene. • Save the firework packaging so your attorney can identify the manufacturer and check the warning labels. • Avoid speaking directly with insurance company representatives about your claim right after the accident. • Hire an experienced attorney to interface with insurance companies to preserve your legal rights.

S10 Ep44: What Happens If You Violate a Court Order "Just Once"?

#ChooseGoldman Violating a court order even a single time can severely damage your credibility with the judge deciding your overall case. While minor accidental errors can often be corrected, intentional or repeated non-compliance will lead to rapidly escalating legal consequences. • Both parties start on equal footing, but violating court orders causes you to quickly lose standing in the eyes of the court. • The exact same judge handling your temporary violations is the one who will determine your final case outcome. • Courts notice long-term patterns; consistent compliance builds necessary trust, while repeated violations destroy it. • Minor calculation glitches or honest mistakes can often be fixed without penalty if addressed quickly and transparently. • Trying to fake compliance or dodge rules can result in stern warnings, heavy fines, civil contempt, or even jail time. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
