If you or someone you know has prayerfully concluded that separation or divorce may be inevitable, yet are seeking a respectful alternative to expensive divorce or custody litigation, then consider the mediation or the Collaborative Divorce Process. In the Collaborative Divorce Process the trained legal, mental health and financial professionals work as a team to support and assist their clients to seek and reach resolutions that consider the individual's and their family's needs and interests for the short term and the long term. I am deeply committed to offering the Collaborative Divorce Process to assist clients in making informed, cooperative decisions about their future.
