Separation and Divorce

Early Neutral Consultation (For Couples Starting Out)

Deciding to separate or get a divorce is incredibly stressful, and it is normal to feel overwhelmed. You might be wondering how to tell your children, what steps to take first, or how to make legal decisions. 

To help you start this journey calmly, I offer a 90-Minute Early Neutral Consultation. You and your partner meet with me together before hiring separate lawyers. During this meeting, I will:

  • Explain the different ways you can separate without going to court. 
  • Answer your questions in a safe, calm space. 
  • Help you both understand what your family needs to move forward peacefully. 

With over ten years of experience as a family mediator and collaborative professional, I focus on being a neutral peacemaker. I have seen hundreds of families succeed and stay strong after divorce because they chose a respectful, non-adversarial path from the very beginning. Let me help you find the right path for your unique family. 

Helping Parents and Families

Separation changes everything, but it does not have to ruin your family’s future. I work directly with parents to: 

  • Make healthy decisions about their children and minimize the stress of the separation on them. 
  • Choose the best, most peaceful legal process for their specific situation.
