Separation Agreements
So it looks like the relationship is coming to an end.
Heather is a compassionate advocate who will help to walk you through the process step by step in order to resolve your matter out of court if possible.
The resolution will be made official by a document called a Separation Agreement that will deal with all issues, from custody and access, to child and/or spousal support amounts and the splitting of family property. She will then have it entered with the court.
This is the most painless way to officially resolve a relationship breakdown.

Her years of litigation experience and her commitment as an anti domestic violence advocate give her a unique perspective on dealing with difficult and abusive spouses in the family court system and ensuring that you and your children are not victimized again.
