Keeping the Family Home in a Divorce

One of the most frequently asked questions we get from prospective and current divorce clients is, “How do I keep my family home in the divorce?” Understandably, most people have intense emotional attachments to the family home and the idea of selling your home can be devastating.

Navigating Thanksgiving After a Divorce

Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away! While some may rejoice at the thought of gathering with extended family and spending the day feeling grateful, social, and stuffed with food, this upcoming holiday can be very difficult for those who are recently divorced.
