Emily Doskow, Attorney and Mediator

If all the congresspeople meditated, we'd be living in a very different world.

This is a great program for anyone considering divorce--full of useful information on how to make decisions about the process.

So excited to welcome Lina Houston-Irizarry to the team!

Today is the 28th anniversary of my swearing-in to the California Bar. To celebrate, I hired my first associate! I'm thrilled to announce that Lina Houston has brought her awesomeness on board at my law and mediation office. Lina will join me in doing family formation work, and will expand the scope of my practice by taking on family law litigation matters as well. I look forward to introducing her to all of you in person soon.

Nice article about nesting as a parenting plan.

Interesting article, though I disagree with the premise that prenups are unromantic. I think they're great--and I love working on them--exactly because I think it's so romantic to have an open conversation about how you see things like the place money has in your relationship, how you want to take care of your partner/be taken care of, where your boundaries and limits are, and what is most important to you.

A nice man just called to ask me for a referral to someone who could value his pension. He thanked me for my divorce book, and said that he and his wife have found it really useful in understanding the law and negotiating a settlement on their own, without lawyers. Yay for putting the law into plain English.

Check out Mindfulness Over Matters' new website--and please share with anyone who might benefit from mindfulness training and coaching for lawyers.

I like this divorce-specific Hierarchy of Needs.
