Compassionate, Common Sense Divorce Settlement, Facilitation and Other Services to Sustain Your Marriage, Like Marital Mediation & Prenups

As a licensed attorney, mediator, collaborative professional, certified divorce financial analyst and resilience coach with over 40 years of legal experience, I can guide you on all aspects of your divorce, separation, repair or modification of your legal relationship without attending a court hearing.

If while you are at home social distancing it would help to consider or actually move ahead with a divorce, I can help.  For a modest fee I can help you gather your financial information and give you a picture of the reality as considered in divorce settlement, how different options for settlement might work and the steps necessary.  You would then be empowered with knowledge and understanding to decide or plan what is best for you and your family as a path forward.

The courts are closed for the present, with few exceptions.  However, mediation and Collaborative settlement with all the tools of technology at our fingertips continues, without violating the principles of social distancing.  

Be empowered with information and a glimpse of what is possible.  Even if you decide not to proceed with a divorce at this time, you would have spent some time learning about it with the ability to better discern the best option.  If you decide to move forward, you can.  In the process you will also consider the best path through the present uncertainty and be ready to put the plan into place when restrictions are lifted.  Cases with Stipulated Judgments are still being filed.  It's business as usual if you don't need to go to court.

We mediators and Collaborative professionals have been doing this work this way all along.  The great technical advances achieved by the internet allow us to do it now from separate sites.

Your best chance at an amicable post divorce relationship

In a traditional divorce you are not encouraged to work together to come to understandings about yourself and your spouse that will enhance your future relationship.  Even if there will be no future relationship, what about the anger and bitterness you hold?  Wouldn't it be better to resolve that in your mind, body and spirit - for your own good?  Mediation can help your family through this very emotional and difficult process.
