Bringing the Magic
I had a case in which I was retained, not for a collaborative matter, but for litigation. (Back then, I still had the reputation for being “an aggressive family law trial attorney.”)
Artificial Intelligence and Collaborative Divorce
ChatGPT is an AI Chatbot developed by Open AI. The chatbot has a language-based model that was originally designed for customer service, fine-tuned by the developer for human interaction in a conversational manner.
Growing Apart
Overheard among a group of middle school boys drinking mochas in a coffeehouse, as one tastes another’s coffee: “That is so ridiculously sweet! That’s like something a five-year-old would make!”
Paternity
Paternity is the legal relationship between a father and his biological or adopted child(ren). This area of law deals with a father’s and his child(ren)’s rights and obligations to each other, as well as to others. A man who is legally established to be a child’s father is held accountable for his share of support and responsibility for that child. If the father is unwilling to support the child voluntarily, he can be compelled to do so after a successful paternity suit.
If, on the other hand, the child was born out of wedlock and the mother wishes to give the child up for adoption, she will be unable to do so when the father asserts paternity and refuses his consent.
A father claiming paternity can also seek timesharing with and parental decision-making rights for the child.
