There is no doubt going through a divorce is a shock to the body and soul. Tears, heartache, less money, new homes and new relationships. It takes courage to move through it with grace.
We believe that each relationship story has at least two truthful, relevant perspectives.
We know that parenting can be successful in two homes with unmarried co-parents. We've seen it happen. We help it happen.
We believe that all children of divorce can have wonderful lives. But we know that the process of a child being questioned by attorneys and judges, asked to choose one parent over the other, is not a wonderful process.
We know that children are resilient. Given respect and honesty, and the time, space and choice to recover from a divorce transition, they will.
Divorce doesn't change the responsibility parents have to their children, whether or not they are married.
Good co-parenting demands a great deal of communication. We focus on developing better cooperative relationships by creating new patterns of communication and sustainable skills for the future.
The work we do asks parents to be parents.
A divorce settlement is the foundation of the new, hopeful lives that follow. Inequities in a settlement set children and one or both of their parents up for a challenging start.
A smart divorce is equitable in the short-term and long-term. It financially and emotionally supports everyone.
We never forget that there is an abundance of love in the world—enough for every being on the planet.
And we believe time and forgiveness heal.
