Planning For Wartime Veterans: Aid & Attendance Benefits, What You Don’T Know
Category
1 hour MCLE credit Viewing Time: 61 minutesThis educational video is designed for licensed attorneys and members of the public who want to know more about elder law planning and the Veterans Administration Aid & Attendance program. We will explore and dispel myths surrounding this underutilized and misunderstood program, eligibility requirements, and planning strategies to help those who qualify.
The cost of long-term care can financially devastate families. With costs averaging between $3,500 to $18,000 per month, it’s not uncommon for families to go through their entire life savings during the first three years of care. Thankfully, there may be some help for those who served our country during wartime.
The Veterans Administration offers a 3-tiered, tax-free benefit for wartime veterans and their spouses who need financial assistance or help covering the costs associated with long-term care. This includes as at-home care, assisted living, nursing home expenses, and unreimbursed medical expenses.
Unfortunately, working with the VA and accessing Aid & Attendance benefits can be difficult and frustrating. There’s a good chance that if you do it alone, you won’t qualify. Many veterans are turned away because they (and sometimes the VA) do not understand the VA’s rules or how to meet the VA’s asset and income requirements.
In this presentation, Heather Chubb will elucidated what legal practitioners should know to better serve their clients, who served our nation.

Sexual Harassment In The Gig Economy-The More Things Stay The Same, The More They Change
Category
1.5 hours MCLE credit Viewing Time: 88 minutes The American workplace has changed dramatically in recent years. Sexual harassment has also transitioned from the old to the new workplace and beyond. Sexual harassment may occur during a Zoom meeting, after hours on Twitter or Instagram, or be perpetrated by those over whom the employer has no real control. This class will examine California and Federal practice pertaining to sexual harassment in the gig economy, where workers are increasingly cast in the roles of independent contractors or temps rather than full-time employees. Courts are striving to adapt to the new economic realities and are increasing the circumstances under which entities and individuals may be held liable. Instructors David Graulich and Kim Lucia will discuss sexual harassment from both plaintiffs’ and defendants’ perspectives. The topics will include recent cases that impact on sexual harassment in professional relationships, such as Judd v. Weinstein (9th Cir. 2020) 967 F.3d 952, the major components of California sexual harassment laws, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and Labor Code 51.9, as well as recent changes in California statutes.

Fraudulent Conveyance Actions
Category
1.5 hours MCLE credit Viewing Time: 81 minutes So, after months or years of litigation, you finally have a judgment. You recorded your judgment liens and try levying bank accounts, but have no luck collecting your judgment. Finally, you bring the judgment debtor in to court on an order to appear for examination. However, instead of finding assets to satisfy your judgment, you find the debtor has transferred everything years ago to a relative or a business, that is beyond the reach of your writ of execution. Judgment debtors frequently will go to such extremes to avoid paying judgments. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. What do you now? You are forced between giving up, and taking your first step into advanced judgment enforcement. In this video Kevin Whiteford, Partner, Serlin & Whiteford, LLP will explain the law and procedures applicable to fraudulent conveyance actions under California’s Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Civil Code section 3439, et seq. Among the topics to be discussed are: what transactions qualify as voidable transactions; what relief is provided to a creditor under the Act; what provisional remedies are available to prevent further transfers; the elements of a claim under the Act; the applicable statutes of limitations; and who may be held liable under the Act.

A Recipe For Child Support And Spousal Support In California
Category
1.5 hours MCLE credit Viewing Time: 109 minutes This video will explore the ways in which a court will determine income available for the payment of both child and spousal support. We will walk you through the salient factors of determining the payor’s true income, including review of tax returns, profit and loss statements, W2s, loan applications, and each party’s monthly expenses. What you see is not always reality when reviewing the payor’s (or the payee’s for that matter) reported income. We will delve into child support with a keen eye on how the court arrives at a guideline child support calculation. We will discuss the ramifications of agreeing to a non-guideline child support order. And we will discuss seek work orders, extraordinary work regimens, and special considerations for handling child support when a child has special needs or a disability—including adult-aged children who cannot support themselves. Finally, we will end with spousal support and the difference between spousal support ordered before a judgment of dissolution of marriage is granted and spousal support that is ordered post-judgment. We will explain what the Family Code 4320 factors entail and how to present your case for trial with the factors in mind.
