THE PARTING PROPERLY METHOD HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE DIVORCE PROCESS.

Parting Properly is the only firm that has successfully challenged the myths. The divorce industry, which makes over Fifty Billion Dollars a year from the pain and suffering of families has been perpetrating myths about how to divorce for decades.

No other firm does what we do. Because of their big profits, the other firms are sticking to the same old dysfunctional process. They don’t seem to understand how to do anything different. They don’t care or can’t comprehend that most couples aren’t looking for a fight.

Parting Properly shows couples how not to fight and provides the guidance to support them in resolving issues peacefully. Our eminently qualified mental health professionals, who have been trained by us to use their skills to solve divorce problems, empower our clients to get through the divorce process with common sense.

Parting Properly solves problems.  Some couples arrive at our door hostile, vengeful, and full of bitterness and resentment toward each other. Some couples are already willing to agree, and to successfully co-parent their children.

We help them all, but we apply the approach that is appropriate in each instance, rather than trying to stuff them into a “one size fits all” box, which is a hallmark of the old, antiquated process.

UNLESS A COUPLE LITIGATES, DIVORCE LAW REQUIRES ONLY TWO THINGS.

• Each person must provide to the other complete and honest disclosure of all assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.
• All agreements regarding custody, visitation and support of children must be in the children’s best interests.

Other than those two requirements, if a couple does not litigate they are free to establish their own standard of fairness. Fairness over-rides legal definitions. That is the real truth of divorce.

Agreements can be tailored to the specific circumstances and needs of each couple. As an example, we have found that it does not matter whether assets are defined as community property or separate property. What matters is what is fair in the particular situation. Couples can, literally, spend decades and all of their resources arguing over definitions or they can simply, with full financial disclosure, make agreements based on what is fair.

PARTING PROPERLY EMPOWERS COUPLES.

The Parting Properly methodology brings couples through the divorce process easier than one might think.

Well trained and confident Parting Properly Mentors provide the tools and empower the parties to engage in enlightened negotiation and cooperation, so that both parties, and their children, win. There are no losers.

Even in high conflict situations, it is nearly always possible to convince couples that Parting Properly is the better way. Many couples are already skeptical of traditional, adversarial court divorce. Even when they hate each other, it is not as hard as someone might guess to help them understand and move forward in a more enlightened, secure, and advantageous way. Our success with couples that, at first, even refuse to talk with each other has been phenomenal.

When we explain what we do and show couples the savings in fees, time, and destructive emotional energy, they start to listen. When we outline our approach, they become clients. When their divorce is completed, and they are feeling empowered and successful, they proclaim the virtues of Parting Properly.
