Honoring Women's History Month: Judge Sarah T. Hughes

Sarah T. Hughes made history as the first woman to swear in a U.S. president and broke barriers throughout her legal career.

As a federal judge, she was a champion for civil rights, gender equality, and justice, leaving a lasting impact on the legal system.

Sarah ruled on cases that advanced women’s rights, racial equality, and voting access, paving the way for a more just society. Her legacy continues to inspire women in law and beyond.

At Evolve Family Law, we remember the women who came before to carve the way for justice and equity in law.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy extends deeply into the family law we practice today. Through her work as an attorney and Supreme Court Justice, she systematically dismantled laws that imposed rigid gender roles in marriage and parenting.

Her strategic litigation challenged assumptions about who could be caregivers and providers, creating legal precedents that protect all family members regardless of gender. From establishing equal property rights in divorce to ensuring parental benefits weren't limited by outdated stereotypes, RBG's work touches nearly every aspect of modern family law.

Her legacy continues to shape family law today, ensuring greater fairness and protection for all families.

Celebrating Women's History Month: Honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Today we honor the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—an unwavering champion for gender equality and a trailblazer in family law.

Her dedication to justice helped shape policies that protect women's rights in marriage, employment, and beyond.

At Evolve Family Law, we're inspired by Justice Ginberg’s methodical approach to creating lasting change. We strive to uphold her principles of equality and fairness in our representation of every client. Because, as RBG once said, "Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time."

What happens after the ink is signed? Financial reorganization, dividing assets and adjusting to a single-income household requires careful financial planning. Creating a budget, understanding your financial standing, and planning for the future is essential.

If children are involved, establishing a co-parenting plan that prioritizes their well-being is vital. Open communication and flexibility can help maintain a stable environment for your children.

Addressing legal matters such as updating wills, modifying custody arrangements, or understanding alimony and child support obligations may be necessary. Consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity on these issues.

This period can be an opportunity to explore new interests, build new relationships, and focus on personal development. Embracing change can lead to a fulfilling new chapter in your life.

Remember, you're not alone on this journey. At Evolve Family Law, our team is here to support and guide you through each step of the process. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist you.

Considering an uncontested divorce but having trouble agreeing on a couple of terms? Mediation might be the key to resolving those final details. A third-party mediator can offer creative solutions and help both parties reach a fair agreement, making the process smoother and less stressful. #DivorceMediation #UncontestedDivorce #FamilyLaw #EvolveFamilyLaw
