I'm Here to Help You Though This Journey

I hope you are doing well! Students' spring break is here, and so is an opportunity for many of us to step away from work and take a relaxing and much-needed break!  While creating family memories is enjoyable, holiday travel can pose unique challenges.

As we’ve discussed, be ready to make the first offer. Research shows that the party making the first offer tends to be most satisfied with the outcome. The first offer often “anchors” the entire negotiation process so be ready to act first.

This time of year can bring particular challenges for families going through divorce or custody proceedings, so I wanted to share some guidance with you as the holiday season approaches. Planning a clear path forward can pave the way for a joyful season for you and your children. Here are six guidelines to consider:

Worry is often your closest companion if you’re a parent, grandparent, or love and care for a child. Unfortunately, it just comes with the job. November is National Child Safety and Protection Month and the perfect time to review some key safety considerations as well as a few ways you can help minimize any risks.

Guardianship is a legal process that assists and protects individuals (i.e., wards) who can’t take care of themselves due to incapacity, disability, or infancy.

Throughout each season, there are so many things to enjoy--especially when it comes to outdoor activities. But spending time outside comes with its own set of risks, including injuries caused by slipping, tripping, and falling. I certainly hope we don’t meet or talk under these circumstances, but I want you to know what to do should you or a loved one experience a fall or another personal injury.

Mediation is a good option in any situation where parties have a relationship they want to preserve.

I am not sure if you know, but August is Child Support Awareness Month, I wanted to reach out with some information regarding child support agreements.

Over the years, I have seen firsthand how co-parents can work together to support their children's health and well-being. That’s why, as a new school year begins, I want to share a handful of co-parenting tips with you–ones I've collected from dedicated clients and friends who have found them extremely helpful for their families.

The adage quality over quantity certainly applies here, and I wanted to share some key things to consider so you can optimize time with your kids.
