Imagine it’s your lunch break. You’re hungry, you have that important presentation front of mind, and you just want to grab a sandwich from your favorite local deli and get back to work.

Advocating for Children in the Collaborative Divorce Process

Advocating for Children in the Collaborative Divorce Process While divorce is often the best choice for everyone involved, including the children, the impact on them is undeniable.
