With either mediation or the Collaborative process you will have control of the decisions that are made and will be firmly supported, legally and emotionally, in achieving a successful dissolution of your relationship. This not only allows but also encourages you...

Growing up with separated parents, I think I understand the stress and frustration of a long drawn out family divorce.
