Divorce does not have to be a battle where family relationships or children are the casualties. Nor do you have to cave in and sacrifice everything to “keep the peace”.

At Anne C. Towey, PLLC, the focus remains on how you and your spouse want your futures to look. We employ problem solving interest based negotiations to help you achieve those goals. We understand how vulnerable you are in this difficult transition; we will not take advantage nor encourage you in making destructive decisions. We help you understand that if your spouse does not get a satisfactory result as well as you, you will probably end up back in court on a regular basis and any children of the marriage will suffer.

My job is to help you educate yourself about all of your divorce process options. I offer a free consultation to people whose spouses have already retained collaborative counsel. I also offer a 1-2 hour initial consultation regarding the divorce process options when you make a charitable contribution to a child focused non-profit entity.

After your initial consultation, if you decide that Collaborative Practice, mediation, or other settlement focused alternatives are not for you, I will help you reach litigation counsel (trial lawyers) who will strive to provide some of the positive elements of client determination through the litigation (court) process.
