Family Law
No one wants to deal with divorce or child custody. Unfortunately for many of us, it becomes a reality. However, not everyone has the time or patience to DIY and not everyone has $25K+ to litigate for a year or more. Most of us would love to avoid court, pay a flat rate with no surprises, and have the control to determine the decisions of our own family. And, that is EXACTLY why we offer our unique collaborative divorce options.

Divorce or Custody
Mediation
Private Divorce Mediation is a confidential, out-of-court process in which spouses work with a neutral mediator to resolve issues such as property division, support, and parenting arrangements. Rather than having a judge make decisions, the parties collaborate to reach mutually acceptable agreements. Mediation is often faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than traditional litigation, while allowing the parties greater control over the outcome. Once an agreement is reached, it can be formalized and submitted to the court for approval.
Collaborative
Divorce or Custody
Collaborative Divorce is a voluntary, out-of-court process in which spouses and their specially trained attorneys work together to resolve all divorce-related issues through negotiation rather than litigation. The parties commit to open communication, transparency, and problem-solving with the goal of reaching a fair settlement that meets the needs of the entire family. The process may also involve neutral financial, child, or mental health professionals to assist in developing comprehensive solutions. If the collaborative process is unsuccessful, the attorneys must withdraw, and the parties retain new counsel if they choose to proceed to court.
Name
Changes
Name Changes are legal proceedings that allow an individual to formally change their name for personal, professional, family, or other lawful reasons. The process typically involves filing a petition with the court, completing any required notice procedures, and obtaining a court order approving the change. Once granted, the court order can be used to update identification documents, financial records, and other official records.
