As a parent, you need to be in a good state of mind to provide for your children. Do not hesitate to seek professional help to work through your emotions so you can better support your children. As people always say, “put your oxygen mask on first.”

Prenuptial agreements are made before the marriage. In this type of agreement, the couple determines how they will divide their assets should they ever divorce.

Postnuptial agreements have become increasingly common in recent years. Postnups are almost identical to prenups, except for the timing. Many couples find that postnups are helpful to give a couple time to figure out if they wish to remain in the marriage, without the pressure or distraction of worrying about finances.

✅ If you require legal consulting related to pre or postnuptial agreements, message us to book a free consultation today.

The first step in the divorce process is to decide if you want to file for divorce. If you do, the next step is to find out options in your state. Some states offer online filing for divorce; these states have embraced technology and streamlined the divorce process. Other states do not allow online filings, requiring a trip to the courthouse or a lawyer’s office in person.
You may use mediation to create the agreement you want to use in your divorce filing. We are available for consultation and will draft pre and post nuptial agreements, parenting plans, help with the division of assets, prepare uncontested divorce papers, and serve as a consulting attorney if you already have a mediated agreement.

All kids want to be happy and feel loved. Divorce doesn’t have to prevent this. When you practice healthy co-parenting, you can achieve this reality.

People grow and change differently over the years and it is important to understand that you don't have to stay in an unhappy marriage for the sake of your children. It is not the divorce that harms children, it’s conflict or unhappy parents.

A parenting coordinator keeps parents focused on their children’s needs at all times during the process of separation or divorce. The children need to be the center of everything, without having to be involved in the process.

The Christmas season can be a time of joy and happiness. It can also be difficult for those newly separated or divorced. Spend time with family and friends, exchange gifts, and enjoy the spirit of giving. Make new traditions to add to the old ones and look towards new beginnings in the new year.

Divorce is a difficult process, but it can also be a transformative experience.
Divorce is almost always an emotional rollercoaster and one of the most challenging events in our lives. It is also courageous and can force us to own our story and learn to love our new selves through the process.

Parents must show up and be present in their children’s lives. It is not about who does what and when but about staying engaged with your child. Visit them, talk with them, and spend time with them often. Remember they are watching you so set a good example.

I am excited to announce that I will be among the panelists in this year's Family Kind Virtual Symposium. The agenda of the symposium will be empowering professionals and families as they navigate the carceral system.

In an era of mass incarceration, so many children are adversely impacted when a parent is incarcerated. This symposium will explore, examine, and educate the public, social service providers, mental health providers, and legal service providers on the ways in which each of these communities can collaborate to center and support children and families of incarcerated loved ones.

The panels will cover research and current practices about how to support and improve outcomes for children and their parents, provide general information about relevant legal issues that may arise when families navigate the prison system, and explore traditional and restorative action, and when a parent returns home.

According to a survey conducted by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, the top reasons for divorce are:
1. Infidelity
2. Lack of intimacy
3. Arguments about money
4. Inability to communicate with each other
5. Lack of Trust
6. Anger and resentment over past hurts or perceived wrongs
It is not uncommon for people to find themselves in a relationship they do not want to be in anymore. Divorce might just be your chance for happiness.

The first year of divorce can be the most difficult for children and parents. Children often feel abandoned, confused, and angry. You may feel guilty and overwhelmed by all the changes in your lives.
Parents must find time to spend quality time with their children. This is the best way to help them adjust to the new normal..

A close relationship with your children after divorce is necessary because they will need extra support and love. Children will be more likely to open up to you when something is wrong if you are present. Be with them, talk to them, listen to them.
Having a close relationship with your children can help them through the difficult transition of creating a new family structure. Assure your children you will always be family regardless of who lives where, and that they are loved unconditionally.

A mediator is a neutral third party who helps facilitate a dispute to reach a decision. Mediation is a less contentious and more economical way to end a relationship or marriage. Hiring a mediator is a great solution for parents who wish to create a parenting plan that works for them, and/or to divide their assets in a manner that is right for their family. All sessions are private and confidential. Book your FREE 15-minute consultation with me at the link in bio.

Some parents think it would be better for their children for them to stay together even if they are unhappy and fighting all the time. Studies show that this is actually worse for the children to live in conflict or with unhappy parents. If you feel a separation or divorce is in the works for you, seeking help from a divorce coach or mediator can help you make the best decision for your children.
