Client Comments

  • I chose the collaborative method in my divorce because I didn’t want to add stress to an already emotional situation, and because my former spouse and I both shared the same goal: to protect our children and address their ongoing needs above all other issues. We reached an agreement we’re both satisfied with and maintain a positive relationship. Approaching our situation collaboratively ensured the kind of cooperation we’ll need as we raise our kids into adulthood.
