🍷 Cheers to Teamwork! 🍷   This Friday afternoon, as we join in the celebrations of Aussie Wine Month, we at Family Law Matters are reminded of the collaboration and camaraderie that make our team exceptional. It's a pleasure to unwind together, reflecting on our “wins for the week” and the positive impacts we’ve made on our clients' lives.   📸 Here’s a glimpse of our team enjoying a responsible, relaxing end to the week - a spot of white from Hungerford Hill in the Hunter Valley (and a bit of Ginger Beer too).   A Moment for Mindfulness   While we celebrate, we're also mindful of the challenges many face during life journeys like divorce. It’s not uncommon for people experiencing separation to turn to alcohol to soothe their distress. This Aussie Wine Month, we want to highlight the importance of approaching alcohol with care.   Healthy Habits During Tough Times   During times of stress, maintaining healthy habits is crucial. We encourage everyone—our clients, colleagues, and friends—to seek positive and constructive ways to cope. Whether through professional support, community activities, or personal wellness practices, it’s important to address emotional needs in a healthy and sustainable way.   Join Our Supportive Team   Looking for a supportive work environment that values personal growth and professional excellence? Consider joining Family Law Matters. Our commitment to look after our clients and each other sets us apart as a workplace.   👉 Interested in learning more about our practice and culture?

Today's CAP Board Member Spotlight is on Scott Baity Executive and Chief Legal Counsel at Baptist Health. We are grateful to our dedicated board of directors who assist us in bridging our mission with the needs of our students. Please join us in getting to know them and celebrating all they do for our community! ❓How long have you lived in Jacksonville? 🅰️ I was born and raised in Jacksonville. ❓What are three adjectives you’d use to describe yourself? 🅰️ I’ll follow Anthony’s 3 Cs theme -- calm, curious and collaborative. ❓What’s your favorite thing about CAP or the CAP Board? 🅰️ Really, just seeing the impact CAP has on kids and our community. There are a lot of well-intended organizations with lofty ideals, but knowing CAP puts its mission into action and has actual and measurable impact on kids is the best. ❓What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? 🅰️ It’s not about you. Make it about others.

You’d think it might be celebrated with much more fervour than Saint Patrick’s Day in Ireland, but International Day of Potato does not receive the fanfare it deserves. Even if our island’s only rollercoaster theme park was named for an anthropomorphic spud in a suit. Mr. Tayto, though, has since been fired, no longer lording over Tayto Park, in a likely assassination on the “potato-loving Irish” cliché. Remember that wily Irish colonist’s son who set the deadly Trail of Tears in motion? President Andrew Jackson? Well, a little before he took to the US hot seat, and only a few years after stepping down from his judgeship, he quite publicly on this day in 1806 shot and killed Charles Dickenson, an expert marksman (not that great, imo) and famous duellist. To be fair, if you reached the heights of “famous duellist”, maybe you’re the firebrand. This wasn’t the first pistol-fight Jackson took part in either (and also not the first time his wife’s scruples were called into question – perhaps get your house in order first, Jackson) though in the days of slur-uttering or wife-impugning, it was a pretty quickfire and legal way to settle disputes. Nowadays – though non-factually corroborated urban legend suggests duelling is still legal in Paraguay if both parties are blood donors – taking turns at 10 paces to pull a cocked weapon’s trigger to cause death is no longer acceptable. Y’know, unless ‘war’. That, of course, isn’t the only outrageous thing you can no longer legally do, mind. If you’re pregnant in Madagascar, for instance, you are forbidden from wearing a hat, while if a man in Eureka has grown a moustache, he cannot legally kiss a woman. And while kissing isn’t a prerequisite for pregnancy, it’s not a bad law to instil abstinence for modern day moustache-wearing millennials. More than a law, rather self-preservation… but it’s also illegal to forget your wife’s birthday in Samoa. To the extent that, more than the silent treatment, you may find yourself imprisoned for up to five years. An easy opportunity that comes round once in a year to grant yourself some space from your spouse. And how about this for something a little fishy? As part of the UK’s 1986 Salmon Act, it’s an offence to handle salmon under suspicious circumstances, with a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment. But I’m not here to tell you what to do. If you want to wager your wits on a pistol whip, or fiddle a fish in Farnworth, have at it.

How Will You Make This Grandparents Day Special? Grandparents Day offers a wonderful opportunity to honor the wisdom, love, and support that grandparents bring to our lives. Here are three thoughtful ways to show your appreciation: 1. **Plan a Family Picnic in the Park**     Take advantage of pleasant weather and organize a picnic at a local park. Pack some of their favorite snacks, share stories, and enjoy the outdoors together. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to create lasting memories. 2. **Create a Memory Book**     Gather photos, handwritten notes, and keepsakes to assemble a personalized memory book. Whether it chronicles family history or highlights recent moments, this heartfelt gift will be cherished for years to come. 3. **Organize a Virtual Celebration**     If distance is a factor, a virtual gathering can still bring everyone together. Set up a video call with family members, share activities, or even watch a movie together online. Grandparents will appreciate the effort, even if celebrated from afar. This Grandparents Day, take the time to celebrate the legacy of love and support that grandparents provide across generations.

Thank you for stating what we see somehow “overlook” The California Endowment. Our collective thanks to #farmworkers who ensure we eat, regardless of the physically demanding daily work and oftentimes not accessing the food they grow. What a parallel to ponder (not to shame, but to increase our collective curiosity and growth): traveling far distances from home with the hope of getting a smartphone camera’s distance from a musical performance; spending some of the time in dust, dirt, mud, and elements; paying large sums of money to witness incredible talent and creativity and being “seen” via social media. Versus Traveling far distances from home with the hope of a better paying job that can support themselves and their families; spending all of their time in the dust, dirt, mud, and elements; receiving low wages and being overlooked and taken for granted for feeding everyone who attends such festivals - and not being “seen” at all. Gratitude and curiosity helps us look at root causes to systemic issues. There are always solutions. P.S. COCHELLA PRODUCTIONS check out Lucidity Festivals local procurement system

Valentines day is fast approaching and love is in the air. And by love, I am referring to the new California legislation that requires employers to provide notice regarding void noncompete agreements by Valentine's day, February 15, 2024.
