DIVORCE RECOVERY
Divorce Recovery Is a Family Matter
We know by personal experience that a divorce affects both parties, the children, the pets, extended family and friends. There are many ties that are broken and many changes and adjustments that must be made. It is never easy and sometimes the most deeply affected are those that do not speak up.
It is our hope that the following guidance, information and links will provide you and your family with a better understanding and ability to move through the divorce process and find a healthy peace.
