Family law attorney says pandemic has been very tough on many families

More than two years after the start of the pandemic, many are living their lives as if all the viral trouble is in the past. But family law attorney Elizabeth Yang said that’s not the case for everyone.

Yang is in a unique position in which she examines the effect of the pandemic on family life on a daily basis. And she said for many, the scars suffered over the past 28 months haven’t healed for many.

“I think the spike in cases is still going to continue,” Yang said about the uptick in divorce cases in California. “There are still a ton of people who are still at home hiding. If you go out in the street, it looks like normal. But for a lot of people the pandemic is still going on. For a good percentage of the population, it’s not normal yet. There are plenty of people who are still fearful.”
