What are a client’s best interests?

Seems like an easy question on the surface. When going through a divorce most of the clients that come before me basically want a fair financial settlement, a fair parenting plan with their children and to avoid being “screwed over” during the divorce process.

Divorce Resolution Alternatives and Mediation.

Divorce is difficult and troubling to the families involved but much of the damage that is possible can be prevented, in part, by properly handling the conflict in the most effective manner. Divorce is a stressful and very damaging process that leaves invisible wounds to all involved that can’t easily detected.

The effects of divorce are as serious as death on one extreme. Sound overly dramatic? Well consider this. People going through divorce are three times more likely to commit suicide.
