In Family Court and at Home - Pettiness can Cost You
by Denise Lite
When I was growing up, parents often told their children: "Pretty is as pretty does." It meant that our actions are the true indication of our "beauty," not what we look like on the outside.
If you're in the midst of family court proceedings, it may benefit you to alter the saying to, "petty is as petty does." When emotions are running high, it's easy to get caught up in things that - at least to the court and your kid - don't really matter much.
So - what's "petty," anyway? If it's a complaint that's not part of your custody agreement; if it's not impacting the health or wellness of your child; and if it's likely rooted in your general disdain of your ex... it likely can be found on the petty scale.
While there are exceptions to every rule, there are some common "petty" complaints that usually should stay out of court.
Frustrated that the clothes you send with your child to your co-parent's house aren't always returned? That's something you could try to resolve via a brief, polite text exchange. Mad that your little one has started calling their stepparent "mom" or "dad?" If your child made that choice on their own, it's probably best to bite your tongue. Angry that your ex will be attending your kid's performance - that you didn't invite them to? If they're not restrained, your child will likely be thrilled to have both parents cheering them on - so smile and take some group photos if you're capable, too.
In short, skip the "petty" and work with your legal team to focus on the big issues. You'll likely save money on legal fees and you'll avoid the risk of frustrating the judge.

Estate Planning Before Vacation
Summer is quickly arriving. It's time to start planning trips and vacations. While nobody wants to imagine a tragedy occurring during a vacation, it is a good idea to make sure an estate plan is in place before getting in the car or plane.
Some assets, such as insurance policies and bank accounts, can name beneficiaries who will inherit without need for probate. It is best to make sure those beneficiary designations are up to date. If a beneficiary is deceased or is too young to claim the property, it may need to go through probate court to determine who is the heir.
Real property, such as a house, should be in a revocable living trust designed to avoid probate. A trust can also manage the property where an heir is too young, too disabled or too irresponsible to manage the property for themselves.
In the event of incapacity, a power of attorney and advanced healthcare directive can empower others to make decisions when you cannot. It can also allow them to access bank and retirement accounts that would be otherwise unavailable without a court-ordered conservatorship.
Getting an estate plan together is a good way of protecting your family during and after your vacation. Instead of worrying about life's what-ifs, you can focus on making memories with the people you love.
