Divorce mediation consultation

I sought Marjorie's services when an unexpected pregnancy (not mine) complicated the mediated divorce that was in process, just to have someone in my court that I could use as a sounding board for questions. One of the main issues that Marjorie assisted with was wording around the various scenario...s in which my name would come off of the marital residence. For the stability of my daughters, I had agreed to allow my ex-wife to remain at the marital residence with my daughters until I had fulfilled my agreed upon maintenance responsibility. My goal was to protect my good credit should the economy not recover by the time it needed to be sold/assumed. Marjorie was able to help provide a concise wording that was able to protect my financial risk and I that I was able to deliver to the mediator and ultimately reach an agreement with my ex-wife. I was very pleased with all aspects of the services that Marjorie provided, and while it was some additional expense in the process, she more than covered her fees with one simple change to the structure of child support. In my opinion, she is worth the money!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
