About
My goal is to help my clients achieve a respectful divorce that best positions my clients to be able to function with the ex-spouse/partner in the future. Civil discourse leads to civil proceedings. I am a child of divorced parents; and I have been through my own divorce. I bring a perspective to the table that embraces possibility and peace rather than burning bridges that will have to be crossed again. No one comes to the decision to divorce easily. When the difficult decision is made, it then becomes time to pick your battles wisely; particularly if children are involved. Divorce is expensive – monetarily, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Getting a pound of flesh to get a pound of flesh does nothing other than pay for my next vacation instead of yours. Once a parent, always a parent – keep the focus clear. It is very common for a client going through a divorce to get so wrapped-up in the other that emotions take up too much real estate in the mind and body – and, many times, justifiably so. However, one of my jobs as a counselor at law is to help my client remember that drinking this “poison” and believing that, in so doing, the someone/something not drinking the poison will feel its effects hurts only my client. There is a better way. Let me show you.
