MISSION:
At Divorce With Dignity-Santa Cruz, our mission is to help clients achieve an amicable divorce, no-court divorce. You will not even have to go to court, if you can come to an agreement. Our goal is to help our clients find a safe place, when they must go through the divorce process, and to help them leave broken, unhappy relationships in a dignified, amicable manner.
WE HELP YOU:
- Take each step from start to finish
- Understand the divorce process and keep your peace of mind
- Make sure your divorce is done properly with professional expertise
- Save time, money, and frustration during this difficult transition
SERVICES PROVIDED:
- Divorce Planning and Facilitation: If you’re unsure of what you’d like to do, we will educate you on the process, evaluate which issues are in agreement/disagreement and then help you come up with an informal plan of action.
- Online Mediation: If clients are in disagreement on certain issues, we’ll help the clients reach an agreement through formal mediation. As a certified mediator, Randall serves as a neutral third party, and works with the clients to resolve disagreements and move through the process amicably.
- Legal Document Preparation: Once clients are in agreement, we will process and file your documents with the court so that you don’t have to appear in court.
By using Divorce With Dignity and agreeing to an amicable divorce, you (instead of the Court) are taking control of the process.
Of course, if litigation becomes necessary, I can help you with that too.
But, my philosophy is that you should try to avoid as many “fought over” issues as you can. It is better for your children, your sanity, and your pocketbook.
