Unpacking Less Common Issues in Divorce
A Lavelle Law Breakfast Briefs webinar
July 21, 2021
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM (CST)
Zoom
While even the most simple divorce proceeding can be complex, there are certain issues that make it more complicated, such as estate planning and immigration issues. On the other hand, amicable divorce proceedings can be resolved without extensive court proceedings by engaging in collaborative divorce. Join us for this Breakfast Briefs presentation as Lavelle Law’s family law attorneys, Amil Alkass, Joseph Olszowka, and Patti Levinson explore how these issues can impact a family law proceeding.
