    Hello Family Law Section members,

    On Saturday, March 7, NJICLE in cooperation with the NJSBA Young Lawyers Division will present Preparing Clients for Marriage The 2nd (or even 3rd) Time Around: Proven Strategies for Helping Clients To Avoid Common (and Costly) Issues In Remarriage. The seminar will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. at the New Jersey Law Center.

    Love may be lovelier the second time around, but as seasoned matrimonial practitioners can attest to, remarriage often poses a host of emotional, financial, and legal issues for your clients and their children. Knowing how to navigate those challenges – and even how to address them before they emerge – can make all the difference for the clients you represent.

    While it's often assumed that remarriage is simpler because clients have "been through it all before," new challenges like blending families and unraveling different philosophies toward finances are seldom simple. As an attorney, you must prepare your clients for these issues by discussing some of the most common areas that cause problems like premarital planning, estate planning, and step-parenting challenges, so they don't become much larger problems after marriage.

    Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to hear seldom shared strategies for preparing your clients for remarriage - register today to tap into the top strategies experienced family and estate planning attorneys use - and to hear key perspectives from financial and mental health experts, who will provide practical guidance about how best to counsel clients contemplating entering a second marriage.
