Reasons Your Family Lawyer Can Reject Your Divorce Case

The decision to hire a family lawyer when dealing with legal issues related to child custody, adoption, divorce, and other family issues are important. Like other legal issues, most aggrieved parties expect their lawyers to pick their cases notwithstanding. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Family lawyers can reject your case for the following reasons.

1. Conflict of Interest

Your preferred family lawyer can reject your case primarily because of a conflict of interest. Conflict of interest occurs when the lawyer’s professionals, personal, or financial associations impair their ability to handle your case impartially. For instance, if the lawyer has previously represented or has close ties with the other party involved.

Lawyers should avoid conflict of interest to maintain the integrity of the case and uphold ethical standards. Lawyers are expected to prioritize their client’s interests and make independent judgments that aren’t influenced by other external issues.

Britney Spears hires high-powered divorce lawyer amid Sam Asghari split

Britney Spears has stacked her legal team with divorce lawyer to the stars Laura Wasser amid her separation from Sam Asghari, a source tells Page Six exclusively.

An insider with knowledge of the situation confirmed to us Wednesday that the pop star hired the powerhouse attorney as her split from the Iranian-born actor is likely to turn into a nasty battle inside the courtroom.

A source told Page Six exclusively earlier on Wednesday that Asghari, 29, is allegedly seeking to change the terms of the prenuptial agreement that he and Spears, 41, signed.

The insider alleged that the “Family Business” actor is “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.”

Reps for Asghari did not return Page Six’s request for comment on those allegations.

Britney Spears & Sam Asghari to Divorce, Singer Retains Power Lawyers

Britney Spears and her husband Sam Asghari have separated after 14 months of marriage, and Variety has learned the pop star is being represented by a dream team of Hollywood lawyers as she prepares for a divorce.

Spears has retained top divorce lawyer to the stars, Laura Wasser, and will continue to work with her powerhouse attorney, Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who famously got her out of her conservatorship and out of the hands of her father’s control, Variety hears.

Neither Wasser or Rosengart immediately responded to Variety‘s request for comment.

Asghari filed for divorce on August 16 in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences” and listing the date of separation as July 28, 2023. In documents obtained by Variety, Asghari is asking for spousal support and attorney’s fees and says he “has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and

Surprising Perspective About Marriage from a Secular Divorce Attorney

James J. Sexton is an attorney based in New York City who has helped litigate and finalize more than one-thousand divorces.

According to his online bio, he’s been “Described by some as a ‘compassionate and dedicated advocate’ and others as a ‘courtroom gunslinger’ or ‘the sociopath you want on your side.’”

Sexton is also something of unlikely author of an unconventional book given his professional background: “If You’re in My Office, It’s Already Too Late: A Divorce Lawyer’s Guide to Staying Together.”

What does a divorce attorney know about building a strong marital union?

In fact, to hear Sexton talk about marriage, you’d have to be somewhat crazy to even marry at all.

In an interview this week on the popular podcast, “The Art of Manliness,” Sexton told host Brett McKay, “Marriage is an inherently negligent activity similar to owning a lion as a pet or having a trampoline

A Tale of Two Divorce Lawyers

To borrow an expression from Britney Spears, the most high-profile celebrity divorce of the year may prove to be a media “circus.”

Earlier this week, Spears’ husband of 14 months, personal trainer and fitness model Sam Asghari, filed for divorce from the pop star, citing irreconcilable differences. While Asghari made an appeal for gentle treatment—“asking for privacy seems rediculous (sic) so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful,” he wrote on Instagram—it’s a foregone conclusion that the lawyers retained by the former spouses will be anything but laissez-faire in the legal fight to come.

The swords have already been drawn, at least on Asghari’s side. According to divorce papers obtained by The Daily Beast, he’s asking for attorney fee coverage and spousal support from Spears. The papers also stress that he “has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the
