Mary Ann is deeply involved in a new and exciting movement called Collaborative Divorce.
Like most of us, Mary Ann has seen many families spend years in court, while spending their retirement funds and destroying relationships in the process of long battles. Collaborative Divorce offers a strong alternative. Interdisciplinary teams, dedicated to keeping families civil and out of court, are built according to the needs of divorcing families, with particular focus on the needs of children. These teams may include collaborative attorneys, therapists, mediators, financial experts and others. Mary Ann has been serving as "divorce coach" on these cases and has seen many families complete their divorces in healthier ways.
