paula3Over many years of working with families in the court system, I learned that all too often, litigated divorce is a painful, drawn out and expensive process that can ultimately be destructive to families.
There had to be a better way.
That’s why I was drawn to the Mediated Divorce process. My approach uses mediation and problem solving techniques to guide the discussion, find common ground, and create solutions, so people can move on with their lives. With Mediated Divorce, parties save emotionally and financially, resolving disputes in a new and better way.
