The Unemployed/Underemployed Spouse in a Divorce

Paul Blatchford, a member of the Board of Directors of The Divorce Center, is scheduled to speak, along with Mary R. LaCivita of the Boston Law Collaborative, LLC at the Boston Bar Association regarding how to use a vocational expert in your family law case, including topics on selling the idea to the client, demonstrating the likely return on their investment, considerations for attributing income to an unemployed/underemployed spouse (such as how the new Child Support Guidelines are affected by attributed income) and how such a report can be the impetus for settlement.

The program is entitled The Unemployed/Underemployed Spouse in a Divorce Case.

The program, sponsored by the BBA’s Family Law Section, is at the Boston Bar Association's office on 16 Beacon Street, Boston, MA on Tuesday, April 13th from 5:30 to 6:30 immediately following the Family Law Steering Committee’s meeting at 4:30.

Paul and Mary will discuss and answer questions regarding when to engage a vocational expert in a divorce case, how to utilize and work with a vocational expert, selling the idea of a vocational expert to your client and demonstrating the likely return on their investment, attributing income to an unemployed/underemployed spouse such as how the new Child Support Guidelines handle attributed income and how a vocational evaluation of an unemployed/underemployed spouse can be an impetus for settlement or used at trial.
