Divorce is the Death of a Relationship

David Siegel: Well, Jesse, you are a divorce lawyer in Aurora, and co-author of the book Divorce and Family Law: Who has the legal right when things go terribly wrong? And it’s basically a short, simple, concise answers to some of the most difficult questions that people don’t understand in divorce and family law. And I would recommend that people pick up this book. They can contact you off the show to get a copy of this. If they’re contemplating this or they know someone who is going through this kind of thing, just to provide some comfort, some understanding, and some knowledge. Because this is one of the most difficult things, other than death, loss of a parent, that someone can go through in their lives.

Jesse Barrientes: That’s right.

David Siegel: The stress that’s involved in divorce or family law is just off the charts.

Jesse Barrientes: It is.

David Siegel: It affects people for years and years. Some people never get over a failed marriage.

Jesse Barrientes: A divorce is a death. It’s the death of a very intimate relationship.

David Siegel: And again, Jesse, you practice in DuPage County, Will County, Cook County – all the surrounding counties.

Jesse Barrientes: Kane County. That’s correct.

David Siegel: So wherever there’s a case, you’re going to be there.

Jesse Barrientes: Yes.

David Siegel: Okay. Well, Jesse, thank you very much for joining us.

Jesse Barrientes: Thanks Dave.

David Siegel: It’s been a pleasure. I think we’ve been enlightened on litigation involving divorce and family law. We’ve talked about custody. We talked about visitation. A little bit about child support.

Jesse Barrientes: Yes.

David Siegel: And a little bit about asset dissipation where one party takes assets away from the marital estate for an improper purpose. So thanks for joining us, Jesse. We’ll see you next time on Legal Action. Take care.

Jesse Barrientes: Thank you.
