Divorce and Separation Support

For a complicated time in your life when you need to stay grounded and keep things on track – while making life-altering decisions.

Sadly, the process of divorce or separation can upend your world.

The person who was once your partner may now no longer be someone you can fully trust.

Rather than simply being able to love and support your children, you find yourself having to negotiate (or worse, argue) about how they will spend their time, where they will spend it and how things will be paid for.

What was once a home might now have become a battleground – something that is disputed and needs to be divided.

The alternating demands to be cool headed and emotionally available, strong but not unyielding, can be maddening.

You want to be understanding, but you don’t want to be taken advantage of.

It’s a period of great disorientation — one where what you thought you knew, you are no longer sure of; what you thought was solid, now seems so shaky.

A lawyer can serve a vital function as your representative in court, in meetings with other lawyers and in negotiating agreements. Mediators, too, may offer valuable help in resolving the terms of the end of your relationship.  But in these times you can benefit from another kind of service as well.
