Send us Fan MailArizona families navigating divorce or custody disputes often face an issue no one talks about: what happens when a spouse, parent, or loved one is in a mental health crisis and refusing treatment. Under Arizona Title 36, there is a legal process that allows family members to petition for a court-ordered mental health evaluation, and in some cases, court-ordered treatment. Knowing how this process works, when it applies, and how it intersects with family law can be critical for parents trying to protect their children.Modern Law attorney Emily Palomino brings a perspective most family law attorneys do not have. Before joining Modern Law, Emily served as a mental health defense attorney in Arizona, representing patients who had been detained under Title 36 petitions at facilities including Palo Verde and Banner South. She worked inside the court-ordered evaluation and treatment system every day, and she knows exactly how it works from both sides.Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Meet Emily Palomino00:49 Emily's Path from Disney World to Law School03:43 What Is a Mental Health Defense Attorney in Arizona05:27 How to File a Title 36 Petition for a Loved One06:34 The Ex Parte Nature of the Evaluation Process08:19 Medical Privacy and What the Petitioner Gets Access To09:50 When Title 36 Gets Weaponized in Family Court11:07 The Right to Legal Representation in Mental Health Cases18:39 When Court-Ordered Treatment Actually Works19:51 Title 36 and Minors: What Age Does This Apply20:46 Recommended Arizona Treatment Centers21:36 Substance Abuse and the Mental Health System22:35 What Happens If You Violate Court-Ordered Treatment23:24 Emily Joins Modern Law: What She Is Looking Forward ToIf you or someone you love is facing a mental health crisis that is affecting a family law case in Arizona, the attorneys at Modern Law can help you understand your options.

If you ask a parent, they are likely to deny they have a favorite child. But ask a kid, and they will tell you that is not true. And researchers agree. They found that roughly two-thirds of parents have a favorite child, and that golden child retained their status for decades. While being the favorite has some obvious upsides, being the apple of your parent's eye has its pitfalls, and the negative effects of being a non -favored child can last a lifetime. Were you a favorite child? Do you have a favorite child? Guests: Sahaj Kaur Kohli, therapist and founder, Brown Girl Therapy; writer, author of the book "But What Will People Say?

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Kylie Larson explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and health and fitness. They discuss the benefits of AI in nutrition tracking and meal planning, while also addressing its limitations in personal health assessments. The conversation emphasizes the importance of human insight in navigating health decisions, particularly when it comes to mental health and hormonal issues. They reflect on the balance between leveraging technology and maintaining cognitive engagement in health practices. Takeaways AI is widely used for nutrition tracking and meal planning. The effectiveness of AI depends on the quality of prompts given. AI can exhibit biases in its responses, often aligning with user preferences. Human input is crucial for interpreting AI-generated health advice. AI can provide information, but action is necessary for results. Understanding personal health requires more than just data; context matters. Mental health and hormonal issues often intertwine, complicating diagnoses. AI can help organize thoughts but shouldn't replace human creativity. Cognitive engagement is essential for maintaining mental acuity. Health decisions should consider both physical and mental health factors. Sound bites "Prompts are everything with AI." "AI can be biased in its responses." "Are we outsourcing our thinking?"
