It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. 

            I’m not talking about playing with your children.  Too often I see adults playing games with the other parent’s time. It’s not a game. It’s not really even the other parent’s time. It’s the children’s. 

It is also painful when the lawyer is playing games too. Advocating for your client is not making it as costly and long as possible. It’s not arguing over everything. It’s not agreeing to one thing and then doing another. 

If this post sounds like you, it’s not too late to change. Be a decent parent. Be a decent lawyer. Be a decent human being. And if you are still going to play games, join a soccer team. 

Matthew Thompson is a Family Lawyer and is mildly irritated by people sometimes.
