You can say the same thing in more than one way. If you come off as too aggressive (i.e. "there's no way I'm giving you this") the other side may stay entrenched in their positions. Try, instead, making the same point in another tone (i.e. "I'm happy to offer this or that"). Watch how it changes your ability to negotiate yourself into a better situation.

As long as you are negotiating out of court, you leave open at least a theoretical possibility of any creative solution possible. Once you file a lawsuit, you will have a chance to be heard but you do run the risk that they will file a countersuit.

With the rollout of vaccinations for younger children, you and your co-parent will have to decide whether or not to vaccinate the kids and when. As unique a situation as this is, the framework for the conversation is the same - the parent who is normally responsible for the child's healthcare will typically be the one to make the decision.

The good thing about negotiating a custody and child support agreement is that many of the terms are subjective. One parent may prefer Christmas with the kids while another parent prefers having everyone come home for their big 4th of July BBQ. Look for win-win arrangements like that. It will make your new routine much more enjoyable than arguing for the sake of arguing.

Most state laws recognize that parents have a basic right to have a relationship with their children and that it is in the best interest of the children to have a healthy relationship with both their parents. Unless your case is exceptional, that should be the guiding principle as you chart a path to move forward with raising the kids alongside your ex.

A whirlwind romance that ends in a quick marriage and an even quicker split can sometimes happen. If everything went down particularly quickly, ask your lawyer if you can have the marriage annulled instead of going through a full divorce process.

Like it or not, your second marriage is going to have an impact on your kids' long-term future. Make sure you've considered whether your custody agreement, life insurance policy, and estate plan need to be updated in order to make sure that everyone's needs are taken care of.

A custody and child support agreement may appear fine at first glance, but in between the lines you might notice traps that are not readily apparent. Never assume that the "spirit" of the agreement will be carried out as life goes on. If something important to you isn't in writing, bring it up and make sure it gets addressed.

It's not easy to think about the future when you're in love and excited about wedding plans. That's why mom or dad should think about gently suggesting to the young couple to consider a prenup or at least have a frank discussion about plans and goals for the long-term.

One issue to keep in mind regarding divorce settlements is the difference between liquid and non-liquid assets. Simply put, if one side gets the house but the other side gets the bank accounts and investment funds, the side that gets the house will keep the roof over their head in the short-term but will be the one who is stuck having to sell it when the time comes to pack up and move.

The cost of doing business is not something to sneeze at. Since going to court to try and figure out the exact value of the damage done in a bad business transaction can be costly and time-consuming, many people tend to avoid the potential disorder by accepting a settlement that provides a ballpark estimate of the actual compensation owed.

A civil settlement will not necessarily grant you a significant payout for immeasurable things like emotional stress, but make sure it includes at least the amount of money that you lost in the transaction itself.

Depending on which state you choose to settle in, as an immigrant you may be entitled to different rights when it comes to social services like employment, education, licensing, and other benefits. Don't confuse social benefits and services with legal status - immigration law is all federal.

Laws on how money is split in a divorce vary from state to state, but they will almost always employ one of two traditional methods of distribution - The "Community Property" Method, or the "Equitable Distribution" Method. In a Community Property State, marital property is divided 50-50. In an Equitable Distribution State, marital property is divided equitably (fairly), based on a range of considerations.

Conventional wisdom will sometimes suggest to avoid officially tying the knot with your Chapter Two partner so as to not lose your rights to alimony from your first spouse. The truth is, however, that even moving in with your partner could be grounds for the court to modify an alimony arrangement. In this case, it's best to get specific advice before you make any changes.

Reverse-vesting is a key concept in founder agreements. The way it works is that the founder is issued shares of the company upon incorporation, the company (or the other founders) will have the right to take the shares back if the founder stops working for the company before a certain amount of time has passed. The idea behind this is clear - each founder gets to have their shares in the company from Day One, but everyone knows that if one of the teammates is slacking off there is an option to buy them out and keep the company on the right track.

The pros and cons of any given business point in a transaction are often a matter of perspective and lawyers can't always prioritize for you. Once your advisors explain the legal and financial implications of your choices, you are free to decide whether or not you'd like to live with the risks.

Business disputes happen all the time and parties can avoid unnecessary litigation by having their understandings down in writing ahead of time. Verbal agreements can result in irreparable damage to the business relationship if misunderstandings arise.

Building a blended family with children from previous marriages comes with all kinds of lifestyle decisions. However you decide to do things on a daily basis, it's usually a good idea to keep at least some of your finances separate so that your children know that their inheritance is distinct from their step-siblings.

In an uncontested divorce, the parties agree on all the arrangements without filing claims against each other and only need to go to court to have arrangements certified by a judge so that they can be enforced later on. Aside from the fact that uncontested divorces are far more stress-free, an added bonus is that you can get imaginative and find personalized solutions to your unique issues that only you and you alone can solve.

Disruptive business ideas can't normally exist within the typical legal frameworks that lawyers are used to. Make sure you team up with a lawyer who is as creative as you are.

09/01/2021

If a potential investor in your company is offering you too much money for not a large percentage of the shares of your company, look out for other sweeteners in the term sheet that may be strategically placed to give the investor more control. For example, the more seats you give up on your board of directors, the less say you will have on the day-to-day management.
