The Future of Divorce Court with Randy Kessler - Divorce Attorney in Atlanta (Valuation Podcast)

How do we incorporate Zoom and GoToMeeting to facilitate divorces and continue to move couples through the process. The courts are open and divorce papers can be filed, but what if we can't show up in person?

Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com \u2013 a podcast and video series on all things pertaining to business valuations. I am Melissa Gragg, a financial expert witness in St. Louis, specializing in high net-worth divorces and partner disputes where there is a business valuation involved.\xa0

We discuss the future of divorce court, mediation and collaborative divorce in this episode with Randy Kessler a divorce lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia for over 30 years and founding Partner of KS Family Law, a 30 person family law firm in Atlanta.\xa0 He represents entertainers and athletes - including The Real Housewifes of Atlanta cast member Nene Leakes, Evander Holyfield, Ludacris, Usher Raymond and Michael Jordan's ex-wife.\xa0

Welcome Randy \u2013 we are so lucky to have you here \u2013 talking about the Future of Divorce Court or Divorce Litigation

Wrote an article for Law.com titled Trial by Zoom: We Have Begun a New Era

This article was all about the final exam for Emory Law School Jury Trial Class \u2013 and it was a divorce case!\xa0

1. How did the law students simulate a real trial? What were some of the specifics of the trial?
2. What were some of the benefits of the zoom trial or zoom court?
3. What were some of the difficulties with having an online trial format?
4. Let\u2019s clear up some misconceptions about court - Are Georgia divorce courts \u201cclosed\u201d and can you file divorce papers right now?
5. Where do you see divorce litigation in the future? In 6 months or a year, do you see the court system completely changing or will we go back to how we did things in the past?
6. The biggest concern I hear from divorce attorneys regarding online trials, is about the psychology of the trial process. Are we going to be as effective if we are not all in the same room?
7. What can we do now to get prepared for online divorce?
8. Do you think there will be more divorce mediation or alternative ways of getting divorced?
