Santa Clarita Divorce Season Has Begun

Every year in January is considered “divorce season”. All the folks who held off from filing during the holidays creates a huge bubble of divorce cases come January.  In Santa Clarita, this starts right when the kids go back to school.  So for my kids that go to Valencia High School, that is today.  I don’t know if all the Santa Clarita School Districts are on the same schedule, but we are already experiencing more calls as a result of school being back in and the holidays being over.

I explain more in this video and podcast.

 

Working Remotely, Working LAPD, And Ramping Up For Divorce Season

You may not know it, but I spent 15 years working for the Los Angeles Police Department. If you are ever in my office, you will see all my LAPD mugs, pictures and other cool stuff.

Working LAPD came with some interesting assignments, many of which are not very exciting.  For instance, working surveillance.  I spent many hours in a back of a van or unmarked undercover police care waiting for Mr. or Ms. Bad Guy.

I also had to write lots of police reports from the vehicle as well.  Fortunately, I was able to work a lot of specialized units and we did not have to drive the standard police car with the cage separating the front seats from the back seats.  ( yes unlike on TV, there is a cage the keeps people from attacking you from the back.)

This allowed us to seek refuge in the back of the car.  I know this is a bit of a rant, but right now I  am sitting in my car writing this post from my computer while using my Verizon hotspot to upload content.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. If you are ever waiting or stuck in your car and have to work from your car, the back seat is the absolute best place.  What you do is push the front seat all the way up as far as it will go. Then you jump in the back seat and you have tons of leg room and no steering wheel.  I know, kinda silly, but that is where i am sitting right now and it is quite comfortable.

Now that the kids are back in school, at least for some of the Santa Clarita school districts, we are already picking up in business.  This happens every year and I always talk about it on our videos and blogs.  Unless you are in the business, you probably never heard of it.  In fact, even those in the divorce business re unaware because they simply don’t do the volume of divorce cases that we do.

Until tomorrow.
