Divorce and Custody 101: Rules for Success with Elizabeth A. Douglas, esq

Join attorney Elizabeth A. Douglas and learn what you need to know if you're going through a divorce where children are involved.

Sadly, not every marriage is made in Heaven nor are all marriages going to stand the test of time. In fact, almost 50% of all marriages will end in divorce. Even though the State of New York has one of the lowest divorce rates in the USA (about 8.4%), battles over things like child custody exacerbate the ugliness of the divorce process.

Join attorney Elizabeth A. Douglas on Thursday, September 22, at 7:00pm for this much needed program presenting the things you need to know in order to survive divorce and move forward, touching on divorce, custody, support and maintenance, and family life before, during and after your divorce. Because divorce is one of the most stress-filled events people can endure, it is essential that couples enter into divorce proceedings with as much information as they can. This is particularly true when there are children involved.
