How feasible is it to go part time solo so I can be at home with my kids?
I am coming up on my 12th year practicing law and currently pregnant with my third child. I’ve been very blessed, have had a great career and landed a somewhat cush in-house position after my first was born. But lately, my job has changed to now include much more travel and a forced “promotion” with no pay increase (federal government for you). I have been struggling with being away so much from my kids and jealous that my husband works from home and my kids spend most of their waking hours with the Nanny. Meanwhile, I commute an hour to and from work every day to a job i don’t really care about. My husband isn’t supportive of me staying home without earning an income (couldn’t tell you why since he is high earner himself) . So I find myself trying to come up with a plan that will allow me to work from home a few days a week and still earn some money to contribute. I thought maybe a virtual solo practice maybe doing something like estate planning or something else that doesn’t require court appearances. Has anyone been able to achieve this? please share your ways!
