Divorce

A individual contemplating divorce or separation is facing an emotionally charged and overwhelming process. Although there are alternative processes that can be used, such as Collaborative Law, these processes are not right for every couple. A traditional approach to divorce utilizing the court system to help neutralize power disparities in the relationship may be the best possible solution for a individual.
