My exwife and I have been divorced for 4 years. One year ago she started a new job in Canada.We have a daughter who is 15 and we had shared custody.The thought of loosing the ability to see my daughter every day was the most stressful time of my life. Mr. Murphy was very quick to respond to my questions, and was very frank with his opinion of my situation.We were able to come to an a decision without going to court.Every morning I get up and have breakfast with my daughter! Life could not be any better.
