It's been 6 months....Mental health issues related to our lock down and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression and other mental health disorders. NAMI, The National Alliance on Mental Health has a 24-hour helpline: 800-950-6264. The relapse and overdose rate has increased by 30% since March 2020.
Now, I’m asking my small corner of FB to follow suit: Could any two of my Facebook friends just copy and repost to share the helpline far and wide?
Just two. Any two. Say done.
Perhaps the most common element of estate planning is the will. This legal document declares your wishes with regard to any property or assets after your death. Wills must be written according to rules in your state.
When it comes to determining what happens to the children during a divorce, emotions can naturally run high. Whether you’re fighting for sole custody of your children or looking for a way for them to split time with both of you, we’re always available to help.
Remember, any life insurance policies you may have are handled separately from your will. However, ensuring you have adequate insurance coverage for your beneficiaries is an integral part of estate planning. Call (210) 655-9090 to schedule an initial consultation with Laura D. Heard to get your ducks in a row.
Beautiful flowers from my beautiful staff. Thank you!
A divorce lawyer should have substantial experience in handling divorce cases in your area. An experienced attorney will know what to expect of the judges in your jurisdiction and should be able to use this knowledge to your advantage.
While the care you provide as a foster parent may only be for a limited time, that does not mean you will not have a lasting effect on those placed in your charge. Your efforts, love, and guidance all play an important, and unforgettable, role in the life of each child.

Have you been hesitant to retain your own divorce attorney because you don’t want to drag out the proceedings with a fight? Let’s talk about how hiring an attorney now can help you save time and money in the long run.
If you have joint legal custody, you need not have to agree on every decision. With joint legal custody, both parents as well as either parent can make a decision alone.
What is a beneficiary designation? It’s a legal document that designates by name the person or entity who is entitled to receive the monetary benefits associated with contracts such as annuities, life insurance policies, or retirement accounts.
Regardless of their age, children want to be a part of a family, to know that they have value as a human being, and that someone genuinely cares for them – this is just as true for teenagers as it is for toddlers, and foster care providers are a key to meeting this need.
When your marriage is ending because of an extramarital affair, emotions can make it difficult to communicate with your spouse. Working with a divorce attorney can help to limit the number of conversations you must have with your soon-to-be ex-spouse.
Estate planning isn’t just useful after death. It can be used when a person is still alive, especially if you have more money than you’ll spend in a lifetime. Donating, gifting, and giving someone medical or educational funds helps reduce taxes.
The core values of foster care include providing a nurturing and loving family environment, encouraging and providing access to education, and providing a guiding hand in the emotional and social growth and development of those in your care.
Who is the “primary custodial parent”? If there is joint custody, usually the children spend a little more time with one parent than the other. The parent with whom the child spends more time is considered the “primary custodial parent.”
When it comes to ending a marriage, there are a few options available. Some couples are able to settle their divorce prior to trial, some choose mediation, and others dissolve their marriage by way of collaborative divorce. Whichever method you choose you need reliable, professional legal advice.
