They’re a team of multi-disciplinary professionals including lawyers, mediators, mental health professionals, and financial experts, to better address the needs of separating families. They work with clients to create their unique separation plan to help guide them towards a resolution.

Additionally, they offer holistic referrals more wrap around care where complex needs require more support.

They’re in the process of seeking charitable status so that they can further subsidize low-income clients. You can read their brochure for more information.
