As a child of divorce and after having taught severely emotionally disturbed children for many years I came to the law with a bias to act only in the best interest of children. I was really horrified to see how our adversarial system destroys families and divorcing parents ability to effectively co-parent after the legal battle was over. After being in private practice for 8 years I walked away in disgust, vowing to never take another adversarial case again and I haven't. I have done over 300 divorce mediations and every single one has come to an agreement, in one day or less so I know mediation works. The average divorce case in California, when both sides have lawyers is $20,000 EACH! That is totally unnecessary and anyone thinking of getting a divorce really ought to look at mediation. Your children will thank you for having a peaceful divorce.

Grandparents and Divorce
When your children come to you with their tales of marital woe beware. There will be a great temptation to finance your child's divorce, thinking that you are helping them get custody or more marital property but in most cases, hiring separate divorce lawyers is the death knell for any co-parenting relationship. Grandparents generally do not have rights to access their grandchildren in either divorce cases or when the parents are still together.
