Areas of Practice
• Collaborative Law
Offers many important advantages for the divorcing couple and the children:
1. Personal control over resolution of all issues. In Court, the Judge gets a small glimpse of your individual situation and seldom sees the entire scope of your personal needs and desires. This results in judicial decisions that no one is happy with.
2. Collaborating inflicts less emotional trauma on spouses and children involved. As a licensed registered nurse, I understand child development and family dynamics allowing me to help “take the fire out of divorce” and soften the repercussions for all involved.
3. Less time consuming, exhausting, and expensive court battles.
4. Collaboration is private and avoids the distress and embarrassment of a public court battle.
5. Studies have shown that couples who have worked together through a collaboration process are over three times more likely to uphold the terms of their agreement through the adversarial system and post-decree.
