   Great list, Helene.

   Several years back one of today’s well known internet entrepreneurs created a system to permit you to record a telephone message to your spouse and to schedule its delivery for a later time. That way, you would have a record of what you had actually said and, if your circumstances or emotions changed before your message was delivered, you would be able to modify or cancel it.

   He never took his product to market, but he definitely had an interesting idea.

   Regret is such a huge aspect of divorce; compounding regret is regrettable. (smile)

   Wow! I love this pro vs. con way to look at it! I can be so difficult to communicate with an ex and you always second guess your self. Looking at it like this is a great help!

   Thanks,

   Yup, divorce is business and emails can be used against you in a divorce.

   How about Skype? Apparently, you can record your conversations, too. Oh the horror, you can never be too careful.

   I, too, really like the pro vs. con of how to talk to your husband. It seems that almost everything can be used against you in court. Yikes!

   I really wish that my mother would have had this information when she was going through the divorce. My mother and father could barely be in the same room. Thank you again for the information. I don’t know whether or not I’ll need it in the future, but it’s good to know anyway.

   Please be very careful about emails to your attorney right now. In July I filed a complaint with the CA State Bar because my attorney and opposing counsel shared client emails. In a letter dated August 12, 2008, they responded: “The State Bar reviewing attorneys determined that the applicable disciplinary rule does not apply to circumstances where the opposing counsel discloses his own client’s email to your attorney.”

   It is a stunning interpretation of the ethics code regarding attorney client privilege. I can appeal to Audit and Review and I will be doing so. Frankly, I think the “reviewing attorneys” need to be reviewed themselves. Until that time, be careful. According to this statement your attorney may share your emails to him with opposing counsel.
