Originally, I titled this post "My Best Family Law Blogs." I decided I was just making things too hard on myself. Some blogs I like because of how they are written. Others, I like because how they deal with legal issues. So determining the criteria presented problems. So I decided to just skip the criteria.
I got this idea from Pink Tape's Top 10 Law Blogs and a comment to Law bloggers respond to ABA Blawg 100 post.
I should say these are in no particular order:
- Indiana Law Blog. The oldest Indiana legal blog run by Marcia Oddi. The best source for news on Indiana legal matters.
- Florida Divorce Law Blog. A great source for interesting news on family law issues far beyond Florida.
- California Divorce and Family Law: another good source for news from different sources.
- Chicago Family Law Blog: I must admit to not reading this blog very often and I should.
- Florida Divorce & Family Law Blog: is a fairly new one but I think this may turn into an interesting read.
- Georgia Family Law Blog - an inspiration for me and I do not think I can give it any better an accolade. I got to admit that this blog makes me want to switch over to Typepad. A lot of information that is obvious in its presentation.
- Judith's Divorce Blog - English but worth reading for Americans. I first wrote about this blog under the title of Reading about: divorce related blogs
- Massachusetts Divorce & Family Law Blog: another new one and I like it. Maybe because he named this blog as one of the best but maybe more because he is another divorce litigator like me and has a some very sensible posts.
- Updates in Michigan Family Law - very much what it says, a source for Michigan law but there are some posts that apply outside of Michigan. I got the idea for highlighting Indiana's family cases from this blog.
- New York Divorce Report - another I should pay a bit more attention to but I admit there is only so much time in the day. Again, one that has posts applying to more than New York.
- The Pennsylvania Family Law Blog is a rarity amongst these blogs. The Fox Rothschild family law practice group rather than a solo or small firm attorney publishes this blog. Even then the articles have something to say to all sorts of clients, if they have a bit of lawerly stiffness.
- Divorce Law Journal concentrates on Kentucky and on mediation issues. For any lawyers reading this - remember to read the side columns for speaking engagements, etc.

You are welcome but it is deserved. I must admit that you inspired my appellate faq post and some others. If I were to do a ranking on style and substance that was open to both the general public and lawyers you would at the top of such a list.
Sam, I too must thank you, as I am surprised and humbled that you included my blog (Massachusetts Divorce & Family Law Blog) on your list. And I must agree with your comment that Steve Worrall's Georgia Family Law Blog should be at the top of the list. I would just add that yours, Sam, should be there too. Georgia and Indiana certainly have it going on!
Steven-
I got to thank you for the traffic to my blog. As I said in the post, you have a very good blog.
Thank you for including The New York Divorce Report in your "Best of" list. I am fortunate to be in such esteemed company.
If I ever do such a list, the Indiana Divorce Blog would be right up there.
