Avoid the courtroom, and work with a team of legal experts in a collaborative divorce to find solutions that work for both sides. Together you will decide the best parenting plan for your family, how to divide your assets, and amicably come to a resolution on all the other important issues in your dissolution. Collaborative divorce focuses on cooperation, respect, and open communication, making the dissolution process smoother and less stressful. Think of it as a respectful, positive way to navigate the challenges of separating, where both spouses have a voice in shaping the outcome of their future. Let’s chat to see if collaborative divorce is right for you.

Is there a youth in your life that needs a stable and nurturing home because mom and dad are unable or unwilling to care for them right now? Filing a Minor Guardianship may protect the youth and provide you with the ability to care for and make decisions for the youth in their parents' absence. This is distinguishable from youths entering "the system" or where Child Protective Services (CPS) are involved where the youth may be placed with a foster family and the state is involved in their care.

Adult guardianship is when someone is appointed for an individual over age 18 because that individual is unable to meet their basic needs and there’s a significant risk of harm without a guardian and other less restrictive options are not available. A conservatorship is when a court appoints someone (the conservator) to help manage another person’s care or finances because they can’t do it themselves due to a number of factors. It ensures they get the support they need, whether it’s short-term or long-term. Contact me if you have a loved one who may need help.
