Are You Thinking About Getting A Divorce?
No, I am a divorce mediator

Are You Already Divorced And Getting Along With Your Ex?
I have been married over 20 years and will never divorce.
About Me:
I was a special ed teacher prior to becoming an attorney so I came to the law wanting to act only in the best interest of the child. I was horrified when I saw what the real deal was with divorce court. It is a total racket and the only people who benefit are the lawyers. The overwhelming majority of divorcing couples would be better off using a mediator.

What to advise clients who are thinking of divorce

Every now and then you will get a call from a client asking for a referral to a divorce attorney. Like all referral situations, a recommendation can have serious repercussions if the work isn't done properly or the parties don't like each other. You can win or lose big depending on the outcome. You want to steer your client in the right direction but just don't know who to trust with your most precious resources, your reputation and your clients. The words that you are about to read will shock… Continue

9 Top Tips To Avoid Court!

1. Appoint a Special Master (go to person) for disputed issues regarding the kids
Instead of running to court when issues come up in the future, build into your divorce agreement a back door to avoid court. Is there a couple who has already successfully raised their children, whose opinion you trust? They would be the perfect Special Master to use when kid disputes arise in the future. This is an honor most people would gladly accept. When issues come up, the parents go to t… Continue

You know, I haven't figured out yet how to send out a blast to the entire membership yet. I think that is possible. If not, maybe you send to your friends and I will send to mine. I think we should do an "Ask Campaign" (a la Alex Mandossian). Let me think on the questions to ask and get back with you. My schedule is extremely flexible for doing our teleseminar. Listen, check out DivorceTV.tv. Dr. Max and I have been doing podcast series on there (Itunes baby!). That's what we are going to do with our talk, too!

Hey Belinda - when are we going to do that call? Let's give our members (and the rest of the world!) the benefit of our combined knowledge and experience! It promises to be lively, that's for sure!

Thanks for your wonderful comments.

Collaborative law is a great idea but the cases in TX are expensive.

I certainly encourage collaborative divorce but when people can't afford it, I try to find alternatives
that work for them.

Mediation and my do it yourself kits have made practicing law fun!
At the end of the day I am energized and not totally wiped out.

I am on the board of the International Alliance of Holistic Attorneys. Our next annual conference is May 15-18 in Detroit, MI. We are staying at hte Retreat Center of St. Johns in Plymouth MI.

Go to www.iahl.org for more details.

If there is anyway to advertise this conference, I'd be very appreciative.

I've attended the last 2 years and have come back energized and inspired. It's not your usual CLE conference.

Thank you so much, Belinda! I am very pleased to be a part of this inspired group. I am passionate about *conscious divorce* and very grateful to have a supportive community to work with. I look forward to getting to know you better.
