Divorce Lawyer, Cordell & Cordell

Talking to a guy about asking for alimony from his wife is one of the toughest parts of my job as a divorce lawyer.

Tough not because the concept is difficult to explain, but tough because most guys just refuse to do it.

"Isn’t alimony a woman’s thing, after all?" In theory, no. In practice, sometimes it is.

But should that stop you from making sure you get your fair share and requesting your wife pay you alimony?

For decades, family law courts have been granting joint legal custody to both parents, and this is only fair.

If both parties in a divorce are reasonably responsible and adjusted, the children will fare much better having both parents involved in their lives.

Joint custody, though, doesn’t have to mean equal amounts of physical custody. (Read related article: "5 Major Benefits Of Joint Physical Custody.")

Frank McCourt and his wife, Jamie, are locked in a heated divorce dispute over the ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Though the McCourts' battle is on a much larger scale, this type of property division battle happens every day in family law courtrooms, according to DadsDivorce.com founder Joseph Cordell.

Cordell appeared on Sporting News Radio with Steve Czaban to discuss the Dodgers ownership situation and the team being forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Jamie McCourt is claiming partial ownership of the Dodgers in one of the largest asset division cases in the U.S. in recent years.

Here a few highlights from the interview:

Holiday weekends are wonderful for some people but there are many that have mixed feelings about certain occasions.

On a personal note, I am always happy to celebrate the traditions that we have developed as a society. This Fourth of July weekend I really enjoyed watching the fireworks and remembering all the brave men and women that have defended our freedom.

On a professional note, I know that holidays can only symbolize one thing for so many people, especially divorced dads: loneliness.

For many single parents, their kids are away with the other parent, which can leave that "empty" feeling.

If you haven’t adjusted far enough into your single life, then certainly spending the extra time alone can feel more isolating then relaxing.
