Letter from the Chairman
This issue of the The Matrimonial Strategist marks the beginning of a new approach to informative, down to earth, practical and instructive articles as a resource and tool in the everyday practice of lawyers in the matrimonial field. Our editorial team plans to focus even more on new trends in the law, innovative legal ideas, and also “minefields” to avoid in representing clients in this highly emotionally charged field of law.
The Board of Editors has been substantially reconstituted to provide the most knowledgeable and respected authorities throughout the country, whose experience and background will provide, not just basics, but more often the novel and unique approaches in dealing with simple as well as complex issues that confront an attorney who represents a spouse, parent, grandparent or other person interested in family life.
The goal in the “new slant” of this publication is to provide an informative, current and practical working tool to save time and to produce effective results. This is not a publication for esoteric discussions of law and sophisticated theories of jurisprudence; rather, it is to provide a “hands-on” working tool for those who deal on a day-to-day basis with clients, judges, court personnel, experts and support staff and resources of all kinds.

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
