What Are Your Divorce Needs?

Our team of multidisciplinary divorce professionals are committed to providing you with the appropriate services to help you resolve your issues. The five phases will help you identify your overall needs so that you can more effectively access the services to help with the specifics or complexities of your situation:

1. Decisions: When you are experiencing marital difficulties, there are many decisions to make. CCD professionals are trained to help individuals or couples assess their options and evaluate issues in a confidential and honest process.
2. Filing: If you decide to proceed with a divorce or separation, CCD professionals work with you to make sure you experience a better divorce process, choosing one of three options: Do-it-yourself, Mediation, Attorney Representation (Consultation, Collaborative, or Litigation). Negotiating: If you experience difficulties in communicating or resolving issues within your family, CCD professionals can help you break through impasses and facilitate better communication. CCD is a multi-disciplinary group that can help with financial, parenting, support and other issues.
3. Agreements: CCD is committed to helping couples make real agreements, agreements that both parties can comply with and are workable for all family members, including children. Marital Settlement Agreements are written and filed in this step.
4. Post-Divorce: Most families need help implementing, managing, or modifying their divorce agreements as time goes on. CCD professionals help you adapt to your new family structure and better resolve difficulties you experience as you go.
