Both of us believe mediation is a better method for divorce having used such an approach for our respective divorces. Such an approach is not for everyone.

Please meet Susan Hansen.

We are, in now way, promoting divorce. If you feel divorce is perhaps inevitable, we are believers of Mediation and Collaboration, especially should you have children. This was a fascinating interview with Susan who is truly a wonderful human being who is changing the way in which people approach divorce.
