Divorce Lawyer Seattle

​TIRED? CONFUSED? SCARED?

​Getting a divorce but not sure where to turn? What to do? Most of what you know about divorce, from TV, movies, from childhood conjures a vision of war, a battle over kids, families being pulled apart, fights over money, adversarial lawyers. It’s no wonder that a transitional event like a divorce can be so scary. You know this is not what you want, but what choice do you have to protect yourself and your kids?

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY ANOTHER WAY

Each marriage, each individual is unique, each family and relationship is unique. At Dignified Divorce, we recognize this and are adept at helping you identify your highest interests and goals and support you in maintaining alignment with your integrity.

​
​People generally experience relief and a sense of hope when they gain awareness of the options available to them, as expressed in this note that a client sent to me:​
I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated your empathetic approach to my situation. You did a great job of making a terrifyingly uncomfortable situation navigable, and gave me a sense that there’s an approach that’s reasonable to figuring this out. Thank you! — M.M., Physician
Dignified Divorce was conceived exactly for this reason.
