Ms. Mondus cares about her clients and their children and how the children will be affected by their parents living in separate homes.  Ms. Mondus helps her clients to focus on which parent (or parents) are truly in the best position to care for the children on a daily basis and what type of parenting schedule will ensure that the children continue to bond with each parent.  Finally, Ms. Mondus addresses how the parents will support themselves and their children.  In the extremely unfortunate cases involving domestic abuse, Ms. Mondus can also help refer clients to the appropriate authorities, counselors, and shelters during the divorce proceeding to help maintain the client's safety, as well as their children’s.
