    • "Once you get married, it doesn't matter that you keep separate accounts because from the day you get married until the day you file for divorce, whatever you have accumulated in those accounts is divided 50-50. So if you don't know that and you're making a deal with your spouse, one of you is going to get the short end of the stick." - Claudia Pernudi
    • "You feel all these things because if you think you're going to get a certain amount of money and then you come to find out that you're not in fact getting that money and that you actually have to pay out double that amount, you're not going to be happy." - Claudia Pernudi
    • “But this is more, beware parents. Don't involve your children. It's nothing to do with them. Don't put them in that situation where they have to choose who's going to make more money or who's going to make less. Even if it's down 50-50, that's not your business. It's not your problem. Whatever you stand to inherit should not even be a topic of conversation. You need to let it be.” - Raquel Ramirez

    • “You know, if you got to the kids early enough, if you got to families early enough, yours. You could kind of change the trajectory of somebody's life. You can't do that in a lot of other places where you practice law. I mean, you can represent them, you can do the best for them, But you can't always change the direction people are heading in.” - Judge Lester Langer
    • “There are ways of helping people deal with negotiation. If there's a history of domestic violence, either by keeping them separated, zooms the perfect you know, medium for allowing people to discuss things and they're not in the same place in the same. Not even in the same city or the same county, you know, but you can then have that negotiation where somebody is not under threat.” - Judge Lester Langer
    • “So now mediation serves to help prevent you having to get to litigation. Mediation affords you the opportunity to try and settle your differences, and your problems outside of court so that you don't have to drag yourself, your family, or whoever else might be involved through this whole process and spend all this money trying to get someone else to decide or preside over your situation.” - Raquel Ramirez
