Divorce is one of the most significant life transitions to affect a family. A critical choice for any couple contemplating divorce is the choice of the process they will utilize to move through that transition. Their decision will profoundly affect the financial and emotional costs of divorce and the familys ability to create a constructive plan for the future that addresses the needs of all family members.
The primary focus of my practice is to provide my clients with high quality professional services for the respectful and peaceful resolution of family law issues. Therefore, my practice is primarily focused on the collaborative divorce and mediation processes, both of which keep divorcing families out of the court system. Mediation and collaborative divorce are balanced, positive and productive alternatives to litigation. I support my clients in the creation of a hopeful future for them and their families, in the preservation of their self-esteem and in giving top priority to the needs of their children. Mediation and collaborative divorce give a divorcing couple control over their final agreement in an atmosphere that fosters respectful and open communication and creative problem solving.
I also assist clients in the drafting of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. All of the benefits of collaboration are equally applicable to the process of creating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
