In this video, we ask the question.... "Should a Dad consider work-life balance?"   

Men use to strive to be the breadwinner in their home.   

In today's society, the cost of living outweighs a one paycheck household, making it difficult for a man to achieve this role on his own.   

Social Work expert Michelle Gentle (of Los Angeles "Welcome Baby Program") understands the importance for men to provide, yet urges them to be more conscious on how much they are needed in their home.    

Join us as we discuss the importance from a child's viewpoint. (and Michelle Gentle's research studies)

Today’s discussion is about family court and social media. People ask “can Facebook posts be used in family court?” and the answer is Yes. Also, can a father's social media account affect his family court decision? Absolutely. We've seen cases where what the father has posted on social media has come back to haunt him. The general rule is that you should never post anything on social media about a family court case, period. Fathers have posted threats against the other parent, images of weapons, etc. If you do that, you will likely get an order of protection against you. We've seen parents post on social media after court saying they hate the judge, and then the judge hears about it in the next court appearance, so it's never good.
