It's officially that time of year! 🎒 Backpacks, school supply lists, and the start of a new routine.

For co-parents, back to school is also a great time to hit reset on communication. A little extra transparency now can save a lot of stress later, especially for the kids.

Some things that really help:
✔️ Share the school calendar early, breaks and early release days included
✔️ Keep each other in the loop on teacher communication
✔️ Talk through extracurricular costs and schedules before they turn into a headache
✔️ Confirm custody exchange logistics for school days in writing

Kids notice when their parents are working together, even after a separation or divorce. Good habits at the start of the year tend to stick.

Need to update your parenting plan for the new school year? Katelyn Kurt and our family law team are here to help make sure it works for your family. 💙

Summer might be winding down, but we're riding high about the great time we had with our law clerks from Drake University Law School and The University of Iowa College of Law! 🎉

They jumped right in from day one, working alongside our attorneys, learning the ropes and getting a real feel for life at a law firm. Before they headed back to school, we celebrated with an afternoon at Topgolf, and a visit with the Iowa Center for Children's Justice, where they learned about the organization's mission in our community and even made friendship bracelets together.

Programs like this one are how we invest in the next generation of attorneys. It's an investment that goes both ways. We learn just as much from our clerks over the summer, and we appreciate everything they brought to the team. (😎We do hope the daily whiteboard Q&A returns in 2027.)

Good luck this school year, we're cheering you on! 👏
