There are only two important matters in divorce: money and children. So what is all the talk about “my legal rights”? Do they matter? Of course they do. But it makes more sense to focus on sound financial decisions that ensure a positive and financially secure future, and to develop a fantastic co-parenting plan.

You are concerned with being treated fairly. Being treated fairly is more about empowered decision-making than it is about fighting for your legal rights. There are times when people need a divorce attorney to fight for their rights, but those cases are the minority. Most people want to work out the details and move on. They need a process that keeps emotions from playing havoc with their decision-making ability, a process that ensures the outcomes will be fair. Getting the best resolution is achieved in a strategic step-by-step divorce negotiation process that deals fairly with all issues related to children and money. The process itself can be empowering.
