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:

Nanci Smith served as my attorney through a very contentious divorce and custody dispute. Throughout the course of this very stressful and painful process Nanci not only represented my best interests but acted as a coach, guiding me through what ultimately became the most emotional and difficult time of my life. I truly believe that Nanci’s practice of collaborative law should be the new norm during divorce or custody proceedings. Aggressive and confrontational tactics create a lifetime of anger and hurt that destroy all hope for co-parenting.
