When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they "don’t understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.
Helen Rowland, English-American Writer, 1876-1950



What appears to be the end may really be a new beginning.

Unfortunately, despite our initial dreams, hopes, and best efforts at the time, committed relationships may come to an end. Often though, couples have a continuing need for a working relationship or significant future contact. This is especially true for parents, who have the best interests of their children at heart. 

Craig, a Clinical Psychologist & Certified Mediator, specializes in Mediation, Cooperative and Collaborative Practice that "Prevents Litigation & Preserves Relationships."  He offers a sensible, sensitive, and dignified approach to divorce.  Whether you are going through a contested divorce, uncontested divorce, or military divorce, all issues of the Financial, Family, Emotional and Social aspects of divorce are addressed.  The result is a mutually acceptable agreement that meets the needs of everyone involved, especially minor children. 

The needs of minor children are met through the child-centered Kids First Divorce™.   The Kids First Divorce™ is focused on the emotional, intellectual, physical, and social developmental needs of your child.  From this focus a comprehensive co-parenting plan is developed to meet these needs.  Child custody and responsibility issues are addressed in detail and resolved.  Special needs children may require alternative care and programs. 

Wisdom of No Court Divorce

In traditional divorce proceedings, each spouse retains an attorney as their vigorous advocate. From this inherently adversarial process, communications are strained; feelings are bruised; attorney fees drain community assets. Mediation, Cooperative and Collaborative Practice offers an opportunity to avoid this negatively charged process, and make the very best of a difficult situation.

Registered domestic partners and unregistered gay-lesbian couples can also avoid adversarial proceedings as they uncouple.

Top Reasons For Divorce Alternatives NO COURT APPEARANCE NECESSARY COSTS CONTAINED – 66% TO 88% SAVINGS VOLUNTARY PROCESS, YOU SET THE PACE FULL DISCLOSURE, FULL INFORMATION CONSEQUENCES OF DECISIONS EXPLAINED NEEDS OF MINOR CHILDREN FOREMOST PARENTING PLANS DEVELOPED JOINTLY PERSONALLY DESIGNED AGREEMENTS MEDIATION PRIVATE, LITIGATION PUBLIC HEAL EMOTIONAL & SOCIAL DIVORCE WORKING RELATIONSHIP PRESERVED ALL COURT DOCUMENTS PREPARED/FILED

These divorce alternatives offer a private, more cooperative, future-oriented way of reaching a livable agreement. Agreements made are designed by the people involved to meet the unique needs of their family, especially with regard to child custody and co-parenting. This personal involvement bestows a sense of control that is absent in litigated divorces. Additionally, you can expect a financial savings of 66% to 88% over traditional divorce.

The Process

Craig fosters a cooperative working relationship from the very beginning. We review all the areas that need to be addressed, ranging from property division and spousal support to parenting plans and child support. Sources of legal information keep you informed.

Some agreements are easily made, while creative solutions are developed to resolve more difficult issues. We engage in a thoughtful decision-making process, mindful of future implications. All decisions and agreements are temporary until the final Marital Settlement Agreement is signed.

Mediated, Cooperative and Collaborative Divorce

Many couples thinking about making a new life for themselves are faced with the confusion of the divorce process and the uncertainty of the costs. As part of Craig's sensible, sensitive and dignified approach to divorce, he will take you step-by-step through the divorce process, mediate, cooperate and collaborate to resolve the financial, family, emotional, and social issues and formulate specific agreements.

Specifically, you will receive services necessary to resolve issues blocking a marital settlement, such as division of assets and liabilities, and spousal support. Kind, caring, and insightful support is provided for the emotional and social divorce process. The Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) is prepared and all required court documents submitted to the court.
