This program traces the dramatic shift from early common law acceptance to today’s patchwork of state restrictions—where only sixteen states have fully banned the practice and many others still permit it with varying forms of adult authorization. Attendees will also examine the sweeping federal proposal introduced in 2024\, the Child Marriage Prevention Act\, a landmark effort that\, had it passed\, could have reshaped national policy through data collection\, state incentives\, federal property restrictions\, and immigration law reforms. With the future of child marriage legislation still uncertain\, this session offers essential insight for practitioners seeking to understand where the law has been\, where it stands\, and where it may be headed next. \n11:00-11:15 Break \n11:15-12:15\nUpdates and Trends from the 22nd JDC Family Law Bench \nHon.

Hoffman\, CFP\, CDFA\, CQS\nHeather Gardner\, CFP \n“Partition to Transition” breaks down how increasingly complex family finances demand strategic\, informed asset division. This session highlights how financial experts support counsel in allocating assets and debts\, drafting enforceable partition agreements\, and guiding clients through both the financial questions that arise during divorce and the practical implementation that follows. Topics include dividing investment and retirement accounts\, navigating pension and QDRO pitfalls\, using insurance and annuities to secure settlements\, protecting clients when allocating debt\, avoiding Social Security missteps\, and helping clients take control of their post divorce financial lives without added burden on counsel. \n2:30-3:30\nOrgan and Tissue Donation Considerations for Families and Estate Planning Practitioners (PROFESSIONALISM)\nBailey Dirmann Morse\, Esq.\, Chief Legal Officer\,\nLouisiana Organ Procurement Agency \nThis session will equip attorneys with the practical knowledge needed to navigate one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood areas of client planning.

Family lawyers are often the first to spot succession issues—sometimes in the chaotic hours after a client’s spouse passes—and missing those red flags can create costly malpractice exposure. This program unpacks the real world problems that arise when a divorce is pending at death\, how community property claims shift after remarriage\, the complications of children from prior relationships\, and the nuances of spousal usufruct. Attorneys from every discipline will walk away with a sharper understanding of how succession law quietly shapes the cases they handle every day. \nRegistration is essential to prepare for food and CLE materials\, so please submit your application as early as possible. \n\n2026 Members of the 22nd JDC Bar Association: $275\nNon-Members: $400\n\nCANCELLATION POLICY: ALL CANCELLATION NOTICES MUST BE RECEIVED AT LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT TO GET A FULL REFUND.\nREGISTER & PAY ONLINE NOW:\n Register & Pay Online\nor\nIf paying by check:\nCLICK HERE TO PRINT AND FILL OUT PDF\nPlease remit payment to:\n22nd JDC Bar Association\nP.O.
