Overwhelmed?
If you are overwhelmed by all you have to do and consider in your divorce involving a Special Needs child, and are concerned about the time and expense that is going to take to get a successful outcome for your family, then Special Family Transitions is here to help you!
I am here to help you through your Special Needs divorce, by guiding you through the steps you need to consider, so that you don’t have to recreate the wheel and spend as much time, money, and emotional energy that my Special Needs divorce required.
I’d love to assist you, as your consultant, partner, and member of your divorce team. Your other team members are very important to your success, and I can help you be more effective in working with your lawyer, financial professional, or others, and save you time and money in the process. Though I do not provide legal advice, and am not licensed as a therapist, my experience and success in my own special needs divorce can provide great value, support, and guidance in your situation.
My assistance is tailorable to your needs, and my offerings are still being developed. Please contact me for a FREE 30 minute consultation, and we can discuss the best option for you.
You may be asking yourself why you need Special Family Transitions if you already have a lawyer. There are many reasons why having someone by your side to help guide you through your special needs divorce is so important, not only for your emotional wellbeing, but also to save you time and money in your divorce.
While I do highly suggest you work with a Family Law Attorney who is well-versed in the intricacies of special needs divorce, there is still so much that you will need to do and prepare, so that your attorney can do the best job possible for you and your special needs child.
It can be overwhelming to keep on top of the demands of the divorce process and all the special needs considerations crucial in your case, especially when you are also trying to take care of your child and juggle all your other responsibilities.
By working with me at a much lower rate than you would pay your attorney, I can help you be best prepared for when you do need to work directly with your attorney and legal team on the very important work they do for you.
I have been through the entire process, from having to deal with the reality of separation and divorce, finding the best lawyer and experts to help me, learning and navigating my way through what is needed in a special needs divorce for minor and adult special needs children, and first-hand experience with mediation, settlement conference, deposition, negotiation, and trial. I’m here to save you stress, time, and money, by sharing my learnings and working with you and your team to get the best outcome possible for your family.
