Zoom and other forms of online communication platforms are integral practice tools. As the courts continue to use Zoom for hearings and motions and lawyers use this tool for depositions and client meetings, this program demonstrates how family law attorneys can go beyond the basics and learn how to utilize virtual tools for maximum benefit.

This program examines the history and underlying principles of Section 503 of the Illinois Marriage and Defense of Marriage Act (classification, transmutation, reimbursement).

Explore the interplay between divorce litigation and trust and estate law, including the extent to which trust assets will be considered; representation and protection of trust assets; privacy rights and other beneficiary interests; and discovery of trusts and other “expectancy interests.” You will also learn about drafting considerations based on factors that may be scrutinized by a divorce court in determining the extent to which trust assets will be considered.
