Resolving Family Tension and Conflict When You’re Stuck at Home

Donahoe Kearney

WEBINAR: FAMILY IN QUARANTINE WITH REGINA DEMEO

Like many of you, Donahoe Kearney has been taking the time during quarantine to branch out and do new things. Many of you have tuned into our webinar series, and here’s a good one in case you missed it. Frank interviewed local family law attorney Regina DeMeo about a lot of the things people have been dealing with recently — especially family tension and conflict at home during quarantine. We had a fantastic time. The interview with Regina was casual, and we learned a lot about how to navigate relationships during the constant togetherness of quarantine. They gave great advice to help manage the stress that’s been brought on by COVID and the rapid changes we’ve all had to grapple with. And, of course, we had to get into some family law! Separation and divorce are difficult any time, but especially now. For people who are separated, divorced, or dealing with custody issues, we got into some do’s and don’ts. For example, you could get into big trouble if you violate a custody agreement. Even if courts are more or less closed, it will still catch up with you!

Frank asked Regina a few pointed questions about how she thinks the family law legal scene will change in the long term because of COVID-19. Regina suspects that the technology is here to stay; for the first time ever, uncontested divorces are being handled by phone. We are seeing similar trends in our cases. Formal hearings in workers’ comp cases are now being held via WebEx, and we are teaching our clients how to testify by video (the subject of a recent webinar with award-winning photo journalist and video storyteller Jerry Santos). You should definitely check out the entire webinar on Donahoe Kearney’s YouTube channel, especially if you are dealing with some family issues right now. And of course, if you have questions about workers’ compensation, car accidents, long- term disability, or medical malpractice, we have a lot of great video content on those subjects.
