How can I plan for divorce before it happens?

It involves understanding your financial situation, protecting marital assets, and preparing for potential custody issues. Seeking legal counsel before starting the divorce process allows you to strategize and make informed decisions about your future.
How we value and divide marital assets?

Mediation is a process where both parties work with a neutral third-party mediator to resolve disputes without going to court. The mediator facilitates discussions and helps both parties explore solutions. Unlike a judge, the mediator doesn’t make decisions but guides the parties toward an agreement that works for both sides.
