When you win a hearing in family law the Court usually orders you to write the judgment or order in that case. I recently had a spate of hearings and trials where I won. It’s always nice to win but after the fourth one I started thinking about how I don’t have time to write these all these judgments. I started to think about how maybe I shouldn’t win the next couple.
I could just sit down with my client and explain “I know your children mean a lot to you but maybe you should just have a really special time with them this weekend. I really don’t have time to win your hearing so this is probably going to be the last parenting time you have for a while.”
Man, wouldn’t that be great!


I guess I’ll keep working weekends then.
