FAQs
What kind of family law cases do you take on?
We focus on collaborative, non-adversarial family law matters including separation agreements, parenting plans, divorce, mediation, and LGBTQ+ family arrangements. If you’re looking for a more peaceful and personalized approach, we may be a good fit.
Do you only work with clients going through amicable separations?
Not necessarily. Many of our clients are navigating emotionally complex or high-conflict situations. We do litigate matters, once all efforts to settle have been exhausted, and respond to litigation when necessary. We will help you find clarity and calm in the chaos, even when things feel difficult.
What if my ex doesn’t want to cooperate?
We’ll help you explore options, communicate effectively, and consider solutions like mediation or early neutral consultation. You don’t need to have all the answers—just a willingness to start.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. We prioritize out-of-court solutions like mediation, collaborative law, and custom agreements. Many of our clients resolve their matters privately and peacefully.
