Making the decision to separate or divorce is the first
decision of many to come. A separation or divorce is very much
like a maze, and the Oxford dictionary defines a maze as 'a complicated network
of paths that are a puzzle for those who enter them'. So whether you
are standing on the edge of the maze, or you have already entered, you
must know what to expect and what your options are.
There are as many different individual approaches, attitudes
and assumptions regarding separation and divorce as there are
directions that your separation or divorce could take. At Civilized
Divorce we believe that preserving your children, your finances,
and building a new relationship with your spouse based on respect
and mutual understanding are the most positive and healthy ways
of addressing this emotional and stressful time in your life.
Our approach to separation and divorce is non-adversarial, so
while we will provide some basic information on the adversarial
process, we do not explain in detail or provide support for adversarial
law or court-ordered solutions. While we can provide legal information
that may inform your situation we are not lawyers and will not provide legal advice.
So if you are interested in a mutually acceptable and respectful
ending to your relationship, we are here to help.
