I can answer general questions regarding separation, property, and some custody questions. I cannot answer legal questions or specific questions pertaining to individual states and counties. I can offer support through the pending time, as well as offering assistance and ideas as you move on as a single individual. I can tell you how to avoid repeat pitfalls and help you learn to leave old baggage out of new relationships. I can help you work through the contemplative time of "what if" and "if only." I am able to offer advice in dealing with unnecessary guilt, undeserved judgment, and share insight as to discerning between concerned friends, family and coworkers and nosey gossips.
I have been divorced more than once and am now married to my soulmate. We are living the exact life we both wanted to build 30 years ago, long before we ever met. Well actually it's better than I had dared hope.

Dear Rosa, I am so sorry for what you have gone through emotionally. I would like to suggest just a couple of things, however; before you simply let him off "scott free" of responsibility. First, his
Dear Laurie, I'm sorry for what you are going through. I certainly don't want to discourage you, but small claims or even contempt of court in divorce documents often result in a judgment in your favor
