Reducing the Pain of the Divorce Process- Sound Alternatives

The decision to divorce is usually a painful one. The traditional litigation process can add to the pain while you (and the court) reach conclusions regarding child custody and support, spousal support, and property division. Litigation can drain a family's financial resources and emotions and can be particularly costly for children caught in the crossfire of distressed parents involved in litigation. 

There are sound alternatives to the traditional divorce model. In my experience, the best divorce solutions are the ones arrived at by thoughtful, reasoned negotiation in the format of mediation or collaboration. I've been helping to guide people through the emotional layers of divorce, child custody disputes, and related issues for more than 25 years.

If you face the prospect of divorce, contact me, Sara MacDwyer, at 415-503-9653 or toll-free at 866-470-8384 for a free 30-minute consultation.
