A Family Affair

We all know of families in conflict.  To paraphrase a biblical passage, "where two or three are gathered,  " there conflict is in the midst of them.   It could be our own. Or a relative.

One of mine practically used up all their inheritance they were fighting over, in legal and court expenses. Then we are almost embarrassed for  all the dirty linen exposed by prominint family members or show business personalities.

Here are some suggestions to these concerned.

1. The more exposure, the more hurt is inflicted, and the more disagreeable the other side becomes.

2. Playing up to the gallery is never a prudent legal advice.  No comment is the next best thing.

3. Check out your lawyer if s/he pushes you toward settlement or litigation.

4. If the latter, look for another, or better , a mediator first.
