Katherine Miller Published on Splitopia

Katherine Miller, Attorney & Mediator, had an essay published on Splitopia, where she discussed how her own personal divorce changed the way she practiced family law.

“I went to law school because I was interested in justice.  On maybe day three of orientation week, I realized that law school was less about justice and more about business.   I didn’t have a Plan B, so I stuck it out.” – says Katherine.

She also added: “Family bonds are strongly ingrained in my family, so family law seemed a natural fit.  I went in that direction. In my early years, I worked in a boutique Manhattan family law firm that divided its practice between matrimonial law and child welfare litigation.  That meant I was in court a lot, sometimes for my divorce cases, sometimes for incredibly heart-wrenching cases involving kids whose lives had derailed.  I saw how the law impacts families in many ways, and it usually wasn’t pretty.  Family court in New York is where juvenile criminal cases are heard.”
