Family court outcomes are notoriously uncertain and the classic lawyerly “it depends” is often the only answer.

(?)
Chase L. Andersen
(?)
Feb 29, 2024
I am not an expert in grief and loss, but I can surely relate to others who have lost a loved one. I suspect that my experience is similar to how a lot of other lawyers face grief and loss: Bottle it up and put it on the shelf for later.
