  • General Comments
    If you or someone you know has prayerfully concluded that separation or divorce is inevitable, yet are seeking a respectful alternative to expensive divorce or custody litigation, then consider the collaborative divorce process, in which the professionals assist their client's to seek and reach resolution that consider the individuals and family's needs and interests. I am deeply committed to offering the Collaborative Divorce process to assist clients in making informed, cooperative decisions about their future.
