The request for production of documents is the type of discovery that you see in the movies where guys are pushing carts full of bankers boxes out of office buildings.

Each box has thousands of pages in it and some poor summer associate at the big law firm is going to have to sift through all of it looking for the three-line email from the chief chemist to the CEO that says, "I think our new chemical is toxic and will cause birth defects if it gets into the water supply."

No, I can’t name the movie, I think it was Erin Civil Michael… something or other starring any number of Oscar nominated actors.

It typically doesn’t work that way in divorce or other family proceedings, though. Requests for production of documents will be centered on the areas of finance and children, just like the interrogatories examined in my previous article on discovery.

Making a new happy home for newly divorced dads can be challenging, especially if you are raising your children while having joint custody.

Starting over and creating a new home for your children may spark the need to hire an interior designer, a popular trend according to a New York Times article about more divorced men hiring decorators to create their new home’s environment.

Interior designers help you decide on how much space you will need in a new home and if the layout works for your lifestyle. Interior designers work with you to create the type of living space to live comfortably and entertain as well as to relate to your children.

The divorce process has a way of making people feel chewed up and spit out with barely enough energy to get out of bed in the morning. While people may feel like divorce is going to kill them, the truth is, it doesn't.

This point was reinforced by of all things the Prickly Pear Cactus.

Michelle Skeen has written a book about a topic many divorced dads can relate to: dealing with a critical partner.

Skeen's "The Critical Partner: How to End the Cycle of Criticism and Get the Love You Want" is about getting to the root of the problem when you are in a relationship with a critical partner — defined as someone who constantly blames you and holds you to unrealistic standards — and how you can build a more supportive partnership.

The book discusses not only your partner's need to criticize but also about what makes a person vulnerable to criticism.
