“Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too ...” ~ Stevie Nicks
🎼
Stevie wrote this song while she was in Aspen, Colorado, looking at the Rocky Mountains and thinking about Lindsey Buckingham. She dedicates it to her dad on the Dance album. My oldest son lives in Colorado. And I’ve been thinking about my dad all week, Monday was the 5-year anniversary of his death. The confidence I possess, the mental strength that it takes be a female attorney in a man’s world these past 30 years ~~ that 100% came from being a Daddy’s girl. There are some pics of me with my Dad in my story.

Back to #FashionFriyay ~ life is short. I believe in buying pieces that I LOVE. Plain and simple. Not investment pieces, not what’s trending. I spend a lot of time shopping because I am looking for my next love. And when I look in my closets, I absolutely love everything in them.

This vintage @Missoni dress from @dmattsmith makes me deliriously happy, I love it. Missoni is an iconic Italian designer known for knit dresses in striping and scalloping prints. This is my second Missoni dress. Buy what you love 💛

~ in New York State, the short answer is no.
•
By way of background, there was a time in New York State when it did matter. And that thinking does still persist among non-lawyers.
•
Back when I first started practicing in 1990, New York State was one of the last two states in the nation to require a party to establish “fault“ in order to get a divorce. And so divorce attorneys we wasted a lot of time drawing up divorce complaints where we had to allege grounds for divorce, either adultery, Cruel and inhuman treatment, being lost at sea, and all other types of arcane grounds. Thus, in a situation like that, it did matter which person filed first as they tended to get the upper hand.
•
Thank goodness, all of that changed in 2010 with a major overhaul of the domestic relations law by the New York state legislature. A lot of good things happened in that overhaul. The divorce statues were made gender-neutral, New York State officially recognized same-sex marriage, and we finally instituted “irreconcilable differences” as a grounds for divorce. (As a sidenote that’s not what it’s actually called in the New York state statute but that is a term that your average lay person understands).
•
In other words we no longer have to allege grounds for divorce; you just have to say you don’t want to be married to the other person and allege that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage for a period in excess of six months.
•
IMO: There is a slight benefit to having the other party file for divorce first, as that person has to pay the initial filing fees to New York State. However, it’s a relatively small charge when compared to the total cost of a divorce.

Thank you to AH of Pleasant Valley NY for messaging in this question. If you have questions about divorce or family law in New York State, slide on into my DMs, I’ll answer in my next FAQ 😅

And one of my favorite things about Austin is that he really is effective at using social media to communicate his message. I don’t know anyone else in his field that’s out there every day posting useful information on both Facebook and Instagram. And he is out there on a regular basis talking LIVE to the public providing important legal information through his “Ask Austin” series. And taking calls.
