“ Divorce is difficult under the best of circumstances. When you add the complexity of a child or adult with disabilities who will have lifelong needs, the worries increase exponentially. I heard Mary Ann speak about her experience as the mother of two sons with autism and her courageous battle to help secure their futures. I knew I needed to work with her to help me with the myriad of questions that often aren’t addressed by attorneys and their staff - no matter how capable they may be. In a short span of time she has helped me focus on issues that I might have overlooked and which could be crucial to my son’s - and my - future.”

“God allowed you to go through the divorce experience to be a powerful mouth piece and strong example to so many women out there that feel all hope is gone due to the challenges they are facing, such as being alone and how to cope.

You are now their window of hope. You are now their Why? How? What? When? And Where?, as they search for answers to build their lives as well as their children’s lives back to normalcy.
No one can tear down what God creates and builds for Divine purpose.

You have always been a Virtuous Woman ...
Quote from Proverbs 31”
