Divorce is confusing and stressful. There are a lot of decisions to make when a couple dissolves a relationship—whether a marriage or cohabitation. These decisions set the stage for the future.
In order to make wise decisions, you need all of the information. We provide you with all of your options and an understanding of the real-life outcomes (and consequences) of choosing different paths.
As part of this process, we will ensure that we understand what your goals are, even if they change through the process, and help you to articulate them if they are not clear in your own mind yet. With this understanding, we work with you to set out a path that will help you achieve those goals as much as possible.
