Is True and Lasting Love Possible?
Unfortunately, there are plenty of examples around us of couples who thought that lasting love was possible but now feel they were wrong.

Today's announced Superior Court budget cuts threaten the safety and stability of San Diego families and businesses. While we applaud and support our local Court leadership for their extraordinary efforts in very difficult circumstances, access to justice in San Diego County will inevitably be denied as a result of the continued budget cuts that have led to the announced reductions in staff and courtroom closures.

Child Development and the Effects of Divorce
Divorce in and of itself does not harm children; the intensity and duration of the conflict-between-parents is what negatively impacts children’s adjustment. It is important to know that children’s behaviors are likely to change as a normal response to divorce.
