I've been where you are today. Whether you are going through your own divorce or sharing information with a loved one, I've been there. I divorced after ten years of marriage and at the time, I had three young children (ages 3, 6, and 7). I also experienced the divorce of my own parents when I was 8 years old. Now remarried and dealing with the everyday challenges of co-parenting, I am passionate about making the divorce process as painless as possible for the whole family.
