How Children Can Impact Time-Sharing Decisions
Jeffrey (Jeff) Weissman is a family law attorney for the firm of Gladstone & Weissman, PA, in Boca Raton, which is near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Jeff Weissman provides attorney services for clients across Southern Florida in multiple aspects of family law, including parental rights, asset division, and child custody arrangements.
Determining time-sharing schedules for child custody is a decision often taken by the judge in a divorce case. When deciding custody arrangement, the judge considers a myriad of factors to create a time-sharing plan that will be in the best interest of the child. In some cases, information about the children themselves can be used to make a decision.
For example, a child’s attachment to his or her current living arrangements may determine how custody is divided between parents. The age of the child may also be a deciding factor.
Since younger children are less equipped to deal with change and may have developmental needs that require special care, the judge may order a plan to keep the child in a familiar environment. Older children with the maturity to express their arrangement preferences may also inform the judge’s decision.
An introduction to divorce proceedings in florida
Divorce can be a lengthy, complex process from a legal standpoint, to say nothing of the emotional ramifications. With this in mind, couples preparing for or going through divorces should consider legal representation. That said, there are a few basic facts that couples in Florida should be aware of. Jeffrey "Jeff" Weissman, partner at Gladstone & Weissman, PA, weighs in on the topic, sharing over two decades of experience as an Attorney practicing Family Law.
To begin, Florida is one of many states that observes “no fault” laws in regards to the dissolution of marriage. This means that one party can describe the union to a court as “irretrievably broken” and thus begin proceedings. This differs from fault-based states, where both parties must agree on a divorce, or a single party must be able to cite a specific offense as grounds for the divorce, such as adultery or domestic abuse.
While a single party can initiate the dissolution of marriage, a collaborative law scenario is ideal for everyone involved. Through collaborative law, couples can amicably resolve legal disputes related to their divorce and proceed in a timely, low-stress manner, as opposed to a combative divorce that can drag on for years and prove costly to both sides.
Of course, not all divorces are amicable, and people may need to prepare strong cases in order to receive assets they feel entitled to, not to mention childcare arrangements. Even amicable separations involve numerous legal stages. In addition to family law professionals, couples should consider the assistance of mediators as a means of formalizing agreeable settlement terms.
How the National Association of Distinguished Counsel Selects Members
The National Association of Distinguished Counsel uses a four-stage process to select lawyers for its Nation's Top One Percent ranking. Candidates are initially identified through internal research or nominations from members, clients, and other lawyers. The NADC then vets candidates using public information and reviews. A panel of accomplished lawyers considers factors like background and achievements to select top professionals. Finally, a judicial review board of former judges analyzes and finalizes the list of qualifying candidates invited to join the NADC.

From the Desk of Jeff Weissman: Four Tips for Successful Family Mediation
1. Come prepared to the mediation session with all financial documents germane to the negotiation.
2. Be prepared and willing to compromise. Mediation is not a "zero-sum" game. It is about understanding the positions of the other side and reaching an agreement that works for both parties.
Reasons to Get a Prenuptial Agreement By Attorney Jeff Weissman
A prenuptial agreement outlines financial obligations in the event of divorce and protects certain assets. It is recommended for those who plan to quit their job to raise a family, those entering a second marriage with children from a prior relationship, those marrying someone with a large amount of debt, and those who are wealthier than their partner. A prenuptial agreement can prevent economic hardship after divorce and ensure debts and assets are properly addressed.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Attorney Jeff Weissman Leads Firm in 2015 SAFEWALK-RUN 5K
- 2. Introduction Jeffrey A. Weissman provides representation to family and marital litigation clients as a divorce lawyer of Gladstone & Weissman in Boca Raton, Florida. In 2015, the firm, in which Jeff Weissman is a principle, participated in the Women in Distress 16th Annual SAFEWALK-RUN 5K. Presented by Women in Distress of Broward County, Inc., the SAFEWALK-RUN serves the community by raising awareness about domestic violence and increasing opportunities to educate the public. Proceeds go toward programs and services that benefit victims of domestic violence within the community and help Women in Distress offer emergency shelter to those affected, regardless of age, sex, race, sexual orientation, or other individual statuses.
- 3. SAFEWALK-RUN 5K Participants register as individuals or as members of a team of five or more, although the organization asks that all participants commit to raising a minimum of $200 in donations. Furthermore, participants may receive sponsorship from family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. An officially timed event, SAFEWALK-RUN awards prizes to the fastest runners. Women in Distress operates as Broward County’s only state- certified and nationally accredited full-service domestic violence center and aims to end domestic abuse through advocacy, education, and intervention. Celebrating 40 years of service to the community, the 16th Annual SAFEWALK took place on February 21, 2015, in Ft. Lauderdale. Pollo Tropical hosted the event, and the year’s fundraising goal was to raise $150,000.
