As a Certified Advanced Practitioner Divorce Mediator & Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® I will educate and guide you through the essential information and required decisions during this challenging time.
No matter your level of conflict, I can help you reach equitable agreements on all issues required for divorce in Colorado, including property division, child support, spousal support (maintenance), and any other matters specific to your situation and needs.
Couples in conflict often struggle to reach mutually beneficial agreements on complex issues like asset division, retirement, and spousal support, which can result in delays, financial strain, and unresolved disputes.
As a neutral mediator, I facilitate the process while you and your soon-to-be-ex (STBX) maintain control over the outcome. I guide productive discussions, ensure all relevant information is considered, help you avoid tax pitfalls, and work toward practical, fair solutions that benefit both of you.
By focusing on data and problem-solving, mediation helps minimize both the financial and emotional costs of divorce. This client-centered approach prioritizes your needs, goals, and timeline, ensuring a smoother transition to your next chapter.
