🎉 I am so grateful for the opportunity to be recognized for doing what I love while serving families in a city that I love! I am thrilled to share that I have been featured as a Power Player in Modern Luxury’s Atlantan Magazine!

I started Yu Family Law 5 years ago this month (how time flies!) with the goal of approaching each case and Client with a wholistic approach. I believe that my Clients are able to become the best versions of themselves when they feel fully supported, as “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” My Clients are not just another case or file. They are real people and real families who allow me to guide them through what is often one of the most difficult times of their lives, and I am so humbled every time someone places their trust in me to walk with them to a happier future. 

I could not be more excited to share this feature with you all and express my sincere gratitude for the continued support over the past 5 years. If the next 5 years are anything like the first 5 years, I can’t wait to see what else is in store for Yu Family Law! I truly look forward to serving Atlanta-area families for many more years to come! *heart*

It will probably not be pretty but here are some tips to help!

Many families discuss having one parent stay-at-home while the other parent goes to work a job outside the home.  There are many factors to consider when contemplating this decision for your family. From a Family Law perspective, Factor #3 (Can you return to your career later?) is important to think about as it relates to the issue of alimony during a divorce.  Although all Judges differ, Courts are more likely to Order what is called “rehabilitative alimony” which is alimony paid to a spouse to help them bet back into the workforce.  The type of career a parent is giving up, what it will take to get back into that career, and if that’s possible after taking time away, are other important factors to consider.
