Whats the difference between a ll.m degree and a jd. degree in law school?

Here’s the thing. I wanna go to law school. I’m a junior in college right now. I want to be a family law lawyer – still debating the aspect but i’m leaning towards divorce. Would I need to get a LL.M degree for that, or would a JD be sufficient? And if I did have to get a LL.M degree how much longer would that take than doing the standard JD?

Also, I haven’t taken my LSAT’s yet. Should I do that soon, or when I’m a senior? And I’m double majoring in English and Poli Sci and my GPA is at about a 3.5 or 3.6, what else should I do to better my chances of getting into a decent law school?

Benny Hinn Divorce: Wife Suzanne Hinn Files For Divorce From Televangelist

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/18/benny-hinn-divorce-wife-s_n_468296.html
ORANGE, Calif. — The wife of televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce from the high-profile pastor, whose reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers and criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups over his lavish lifestyle.

Suzanne Hinn filed the papers in Orange County Superior Court on Feb. 1, citing irreconcilable differences, after more than 30 years of marriage.

Surely a man with Hinn’s gifts to heal the invisible ailments of millions could apply that expertise to his own marriage. Or am I missing something?

Should these kids be put in therapy?

My nieces and nephew had experienced separations of their parents at an early age, at the time, the youngest at one month, the middle at four, and the eldest at six years old. Their parent’s separations happened two years ago, but since then from today, my mom and I are thinking their actions are signs and symptoms of the divorce. Such as peeing in the bed, constant and frequent nightmares, crying in the middle of the night, delayed EVERYTHING(everything such as walking, talking, potty-training) for the youngest one.

Although this may be regular for children growing up, since each and every child is different. But, we do have our concerns. Do you think we should put the kids in therapy? and if so, is there any you recommend in southern California?
– I am trying to help raise these kids, if that answers your kids. So, I think it is my business. They do live with me, as well with their mother… but their mother is in a "I honestly don’t care of my children" person. and being as I’m only 16, it’s hard trying to raise these kids with my parents who work literally most of their day away.
