Based on the precedent established in Marriage of Loh, for almost 20 years family law practitioners could rely on their client’s tax returns as being “presumptively correct” and establishing a starting point for the calculation of support. However, Marriage of Hein (2020) upended this well-established presumption. The Hein court concluded that, in the case of self-employed individuals who wholly own a business (or businesses), the burden of proving expenses reflected on tax returns falls upon “the self-employed parent who controls the corporations.” This program will address when Hein applies and how to satisfy the heightened evidentiary burden created by Hein for self-employed parents, as well as subsequent cases which have addressed the holding in Hein.

In this presentation, Mr. Mann provides a review of the brain chemistry of addiction and alcoholism, as well as a discussion of the behavioral and health consequences of the disease. Insights are offered into the personality traits of attorneys and the qualities of the legal profession that combine to make lawyers significantly more susceptible to addiction, and more difficult to treat, than the general population. The presentation includes a case study of an addict attorney, as well as a self-diagnosis exercise for attorneys to utilize if they are concerned that they may have a problem which needs to be addressed. Concluding remarks are directed towards both systemic and individual solutions to the problem, with references to specific strategies and resources available to attorneys. Mr. Mann approaches this very serious topic in a manner that incorporates humor and irony and invites attorneys to engage in a bit of sometimes much-needed self reflection.
