Divorce is more than just dividing your money and time with your children. It should be more than trying to assert power over your spouse through an adversarial system. At its core, divorce is about grief, loss and transformation. Divorce will transform your identity and your relationships. What that looks like is up to you. When considering a divorce, the most important question is which approach should we use? Kitchen Table, Mediation, Collaborative Divorce or Litigation.
At the Law Office of Nanci A. Smith we offer:

I really appreciated the whole process. Specifically setting goals in the beginning, having them hung as great reminders. Having the mental health coach as a part of the team was great. End goal→kids first, non-adversarial. Fabulous!

Collaborative Client
Divorce is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. But, I’m grateful to have had your services within the Collaborative Law process that provided certain emotional parameters-a sort of code that is informed and guided by your experience-to work towards my own long term wellness and the well-being of my kids.
