MISSION
As a child of Separation or Divorce,
Your Son or Daughter's Happiness and Success Depends on

Your child's resilience or sensitivity to stressful family change
The quality of care and guidance given by each parent in a meaningful, healthy relationship
Both parents' combined ability to work together and cooperate -- to co-parent -- on the child's behalf

Most of all, your child's best interests rests on

The legacy of family peace or conflict received in childhood and carried into adulthood

I aim to help parents who live apart make and sustain this peaceful base of family security.
