I AM ACCEPTING QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA ONLY OR QUESTIONS REGARDING CALIFORNIA. As a Mediator with a high settlement record, I am able to answer questions about negotiation, strategy, mediation, how to choose a divorce lawyer, choices and paths to take when embarking upon a family law matter. Also able to give extensive and creative co-parenting solutions. Custody, division of property, child support, spousal support, divorce process and procedure, in a neutral and non advisory fashion. I am unable to give direct legal advice on the internet and hope that all answers are viewed in the context of the limitations of this type of forum. I will endeavor however to provide an informative answer that is educational by nature. I have developed a unique form of Family Law Mediation and document assistance and provide my services through the Company I founded in 2000, PRIVATE COURTS. I utilize my experience as a divorce coach. Most people do not know what this is and you can read about it on my website at: http://www.privatecourts.com/divorcecoaching.html I draw your attention to this because it may be a good idea to recommend this newish modality to persons going through divorce. Please do not ask questions if you do not intend checking to see them. Also rating the answers is helpful to the expert and to other questiners. Thanks for your understanding. PLEASE IF YOU ASK A QUESTION COME BACK AND CHECK THE ANSWER - EXPERTS TAKE A LOT OF TME DOING THIS SERVICE AND ITS DEMORALIZING IF YOU DONT READ THE ANSWERS...THANKS.
