“Some folks in a domestic case may want things that might be unreasonable to you, but it has special meaning to them.” Graylin says about practicing divorce law.

 

Graylin once tried a divorce case that came down to ownership of a cooking pot.  Most folks in the courtroom thought it was ridiculous, but as the facts came out, Graylin and his client made the point that for years his client’s husband refused to help with the cooking and even dogged her cooking.  The pot mattered.  The parties were deadlocked over who was to get a certain pot and ultimately, only a Judge could decide.  And in the end, Graylin’s client took home the pot with her self-respect restored.

 

“The small things add up,” Graylin says thinking about that pot and the smile on his client’s face. “The small things matter, especially in a domestic case.”

 

“Most people who go through a divorce, they don’t think about themselves, they don’t think about what is best for them and their children.” Graylin says.  “But sometimes use of a cooking pot makes a bigger point, and it becomes the theme of a case about a broken relationship.  If I hadn’t listened to my client in that case, I wouldn’t have been doing my job.”
