Thank You

The Officers and Directors of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Foundation wish to express our sincere gratitude to the following individuals listed below: the 2020 donors, sponsors, Forensic and Business Valuation Division members, and all other supporters of the work of the Foundation.  

The year 2020 will be remembered for the extreme challenges presented to the social order. While the needs of children, victims of domestic violence and individuals going through divorce dramatically increased this year, sources to address those needs contracted. The pandemic has underscored the increased need for medical care, mental health treatment, and housing and technology for parents and children at a time when the safety net of charities which normally operate near the edge was hit hard. Candid, an advisor to charitable organizations, reported that while approximately 12,000 U.S. charities cease operations each year, they expected as many as 120,000 charities to cease operating during this pandemic year, which could result in a crisis of epic proportions 

The urgency of the moment demands that people who can afford to donate give as much as they can. Our donors, sponsors, F&BV Division members, and other supporters stepped up in 2020 and deserve our recognition and gratitude. Will you look back five or ten years from now and wish you had done less?
