The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity. -Douglas Horton

Divorce has many elements that, although might feel separate, fit together like a puzzle. The main four elements of a divorce are likely the legal, the emotional, the family/social, and the financial. Our readers include, but are not limited to, litigators, mediators, collaborators, judicial officers (sitting and retired), mental health professionals, paralegals, financial specialists, law students, your clients, and many more who are involved one way or another in family law. Your editors of the Family Law News have tried, over the years, to bring you writings covering the different aspects of divorce from all of these professionals to educate you, inspire you, and to provoke thought.

Family law ranges from the complex to the severely complex matters that involve all of the above four elements, as anything related to love, loss of love, children, and finances is nothing if not complex. We need educators and we need educators that can help simplify the complexity and teach us the art of the practice of law and every aspect of family law. Become an educator for the Family Law Newsletter, since a good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.
