DIVORCE RECOVERY IS A FAMILY MATTER
We know by personal experience that a divorce affects all parties; spouses, the children, pets, extended family and friends. There are many ties that are broken and many changes and adjustments that must be made. It is never easy and sometimes the most deeply affected are those that do not speak up.
It is our hope that the following guidance, information, videos and links will provide you and your family with valuable resources to achieve a better understanding and ability to move through the divorce process and find a healthy peace.
