Free Divorce Seminars Set for Late June in Six Massachusetts Locations

Local attorneys present "Divorce Seminar 2013" in Wakefield, Boston, Natick, Dedham, Plymouth and Springfield.

2013-06-20

NORWOOD, MA, June 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) Starting next week, leading family law attorneys from the Massachusetts Family Law Group will conduct a series of two-hour seminars teaching men and women how to properly plan and prepare for the "harsh reality of divorce."

Each seminar will give participants a roadmap of the divorce process and focus on the most crucial issues in a typical divorce case - child support and alimony, custody and parenting plans, property division and allocation of debt. With 20 attorneys and well over 100 years of combined legal experience, this "brain trust of Massachusetts divorce" serves as a knowledgeable source of guidance for participants.

"June and July are busy months for new divorces. Since children struggle with facing their friends and getting used to the new routines going between different houses, many parents separate once summer vacation begins - then add the school changes a few months later," said Irwin M. Pollack, Founder of the firm. The goal of the seminars is to show people how to avoid the most common mistakes, survive the process and end up in the best shape possible.

Managing Attorney David L. Callahan insists, "We aren't soliciting legal work; our sole purpose is educating men and women on how to be prepared in the event of a future divorce." Pollack and Callahan will present six seminars - at several different locations and times - to allow those who are interested more flexibility in attendance.

The seminars will be held in Wakefield on June 26th from 10am-12noon at the Sheraton Wakefield; in Dedham on June 27th from 10am-12noon at the Dedham Hilton; in Boston at the Copley Marriott on June 27th from 6:30-8:30pm; in Natick at the Crowne Plaza on Route 9 on June 28th from 10am-12noon; in Springfield at the Marriott and in Plymouth at the Hilton Gardens on Saturday, June 29th from 10am-12noon.

Both attorneys emphasize how proper divorce planning increases the likelihood of a successful outcome. "We also plan on seeing some attendees who are savvy enough to protect themselves 'just in case' a future divorce was to occur," Pollack says.

Attendance for the seminar is free, pre-registration is not required, and each participant will receive a free workbook.

Massachusetts Family Law Group is a partner that men and women can count on during their difficult times of divorce and post-divorce.

Parasites affect the food web more than you think, UCSB researchers say

2013-06-19

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– Parasites are ubiquitous. They feed on virtually every animal and even on each other. Yet, for all the parasites' collective contributions to biomass and biodiversity, conventional food webs don't account for the presence of these tiny and numerous consumers. A recent study featuring work by several UC Santa Barbara scientists focuses on the impact parasites have on food webs, with findings that are expected to alter our picture of who-eats-who. The paper, "Parasites Affect Food Web Structure Primarily through Increased Diversity and Complexity," ...

Timely treatment after stroke is crucial, UCLA researchers report

2013-06-19

For years, the mantra of neurologists treating stroke victims has been "time equals brain." That's because getting a patient to the emergency room quickly to receive a drug that dissolves the stroke-causing blood clot can make a significant difference in how much brain tissue is saved or lost. But specific information has been limited on just how the timing of giving the intravenous drug — known as a tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA — influences outcomes for victims of ischemic (clot-caused), stroke, the most common type of stroke. Now, a team led by UCLA researchers ...

New Alzheimer's research suggests possible cause: The interaction of proteins in the brain

2013-06-19

PORTLAND, Ore. — For years, Alzheimer's researchers have focused on two proteins that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's and may contribute to the disease: plaques made up of the protein amyloid-beta, and tangles of another protein, called tau. But for the first time, an Alzheimer's researcher has looked closely at not the two proteins independently, but at the interaction of the two proteins with each other — in the brain tissue of post-mortem Alzheimer's patients and in mouse brains with Alzheimer's disease. The research found that the interaction between ...

Making memories: Practical quantum computing moves closer to reality

2013-06-19

Researchers at the University of Sydney and Dartmouth College have developed a new way to design quantum memory, bringing quantum computers a step closer to reality. The results will appear June 19 in the journal Nature Communications. Quantum computing may revolutionize information processing, by providing a means to solve problems too complex for traditional computers, with applications in code breaking, materials science and physics. But figuring out how to engineer such a machine, including vital subsystems like quantum memory, remains elusive. In the worldwide ...

Detour ahead: Cities, farms reroute animals seeking cooler climes

2013-06-19

In spite of considerable human development, the southeastern United States region could provide some of the Western Hemisphere's more heavily used thoroughfares for mammals, birds and amphibians on their way to cooler environments in a warming world, according to new research led by the University of Washington. The region is among half a dozen areas that could experience heavier traffic compared with the average species-movement across the Western Hemisphere in response to a warming climate. The estimate in southeastern states, for example, is up to 2.5 times the average ...

Validating maps of the brain's resting state

2013-06-19

Kick back and shut your eyes. Now stop thinking. You have just put your brain into what neuroscientists call its resting state. What the brain is doing when an individual is not focused on the outside world has become the focus of considerable research in recent years. One of the potential benefits of these studies could be definitive diagnoses of mental health disorders ranging from bipolar to post-traumatic stress disorders. For the last decade, neuroscientists have been using the non-invasive brain-mapping technique functional called magnetic resonance imaging or ...

Laughing gas does not increase heart attacks

2013-06-19

Nitrous oxide — best known as laughing gas — is one of the world's oldest and most widely used anesthetics. Despite its popularity, however, experts have questioned its impact on the risk of a heart attack during surgery or soon afterward. But those fears are unfounded, a new study indicates. The findings by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will appear in the July issue of the journal Anesthesiology. "It's been known for quite a while that laughing gas inactivates vitamin B12 and, by doing so, increases blood levels of the amino acid ...

What do memories look like?

2013-06-19

Oscar Wilde called memory "the diary that we all carry about with us." Now a team of scientists has developed a way to see where and how that diary is written. The team, led by Don Arnold and Richard Roberts of USC, engineered microscopic probes that light up synapses in a living neuron in real time by attaching fluorescent markers onto synaptic proteins – all without affecting the neuron's ability to function. The fluorescent markers allow scientists to see live excitatory and inhibitory synapses for the first time – and, importantly, how they change as new memories ...

Unusual supernova is doubly unusual for being perfectly normal

2013-06-19

August, 2011, saw the dazzling appearance of the closest and brightest Type Ia supernova since Type Ia's were established as "standard candles" for measuring the expansion of the universe. The brilliant visitor, labeled SN 2011fe, was caught by the Palomar Transient Factory less than 12 hours after it exploded in the Pinwheel Galaxy in the Big Dipper. Easy to see through binoculars, 2011fe was soon dubbed the Backyard Supernova. Major astronomical studies from the ground and from space followed close on its heels, recording its luminosity and colors as it rapidly brightened ...
