Peaceful Divorce
An Idea Whose Time Has Come
Divorce does not have to destroy your family emotionally or financially. If your dream is to effortlessly divorce so that your children can receive love from both of you instead of getting caught in the middle of an ugly court fight or if you fear that you will lose everything to divorce lawyers, then mediation is for you. Mediation protects you from the long, drawn out and expensive legal nightmare you have heard about from friends and family. I do all the paperwork associated with the divorce as well as helping the couple craft their own solution for a flat fee of $2,500.
There is NO reason to fight!!
Beware of divorce lawyers!!
They profit by keeping their clients fighting since the legal clock is ticking and your legal fees are guaranteed to be paid if you own a house! The average divorce in CA(when both sides have lawyers) is $20,000 EACH! And those fees are protected by the equity in your home. They can run up HUGE legal fees and get paid by putting a lien on your house. They force a sale at the end of the case then they can walk away with more money than the husband and wife.
Don’t be played by the system!
Keep control of your own case.
Before I was a lawyer, I was a Special Education teacher, working with severely disturbed children. I am used to calming down irrational people. No one is better at getting people to share, play nicely and behave themselves. My Masters in Special Ed and years of teaching have given me an orientation and skill set that are very different than the average lawyer. I want to help parties find a fair peace. I am more interested in helping my clients than in running up more billable hours. It is my joy to help both sides structure a win/win deal.
If you have children, you are going to need to cooperate with your ex for the sake of your kids. The adversarial process doesn’t serve you.
Mediation or Litigation? It is up to you. You only get one chance to have a "good" divorce. Your bank account and children will thank you for having a peaceful divorce. Imagine what it will be like when you can both show up at your child's wedding because there are no hard feelings. Imagine what a relief it will be to your children that they don't have to deal with the stress of having parents who hate each other. That is what you will create by having an intention to have a peaceful divorce and acting on that intention.
