Family Law

• Divorce
  Susan has been trained in the Collaborative Divorce Model as a Divorce Coach. In a Collaborative Divorce, each spouse retains a Family Attorney (who has also been trained in the Collaborative Model) as well as a Divorce Coach to assist them in the marital dissolution process. The Collaborative approach is cutting edge and, much like Mediation, it is a supportive model designed to preserve the familial relationships and empower spouses to find the right settlement for their situation. For more information on the Collaborative Approach to divorce and to see if this paradigm is appropriate for you, read Collaborative Divorce by two Bay Area divorce professionals, Pauline H. Tesler, M.A., J.D., and Peggy Thompson, Ph.D., or visit their website.
